Entry 2: 5/14/21

Well since my venting spree last September, I have continued to play League of Legends, only now not only have I muted all every single game, but I have gone as far as disabling chat in the settings, so I only see pings, and can't even type so I am not tempted. It has made my games a tad more stressful since I am relying solely on pings, and if people abuse the pings it makes that difficult, but in return, my games have been more fun. Sometimes they still suck, as everyone has bad games, and we play our best but the other side is just better, but other times they are really fun, and since I cannot hear anyone, I can really just focus on me. I do not abuse pings, and so when I ping Missing Inn Action (MIA) somewhere I am literally telling you our enemies missing. I get other people like to use it to let their allies know "wtf", but that's not what it's for, and I hope that if I continue to stay mute, and use pings properly, other people will do it too, and we can get away from the ping flame. 
​
I go on horrible losing streaks, but some of those games despite losing are fun still. It's pretty easy to mute the pings if someone starts getting heated with them, so I just don't understand why people endure it when there's a button tp turn them off for a reason? When I had chat open, I would tell people to just ignore them and mute, and they'd keep feeding the flame instead of taking my advice. It would get to the point where they'd just be standing there, not even playing anymore, in a type war, while the rest of us tried to 3v5 because we were playing the game. It's unfortunate and so why subject yourself to it? just mute and listen to some music and have yourself a fun game. It will be over in like 45 minutes, so take it easy, and remember, it's just a game!
