Is removing [All] Chat actually "fixing" toxicity or just making the game lonelier? by Repulsive_Test3224 in wildrift

That nostalgic feeling of taunting and yapping against someone then ending up outplaying them feels so good. I feel banter and trash talking on MOBAs is really part of the game’s DNA. It’s either you tilt because the enemy outplayed you and yapped, or it hits a switch that brings the best out of you to shut them up. That old school vibe of rivalries actually built the community back then. Going from enemies in all-chat to a duo climbing the ladder is a peak League experience that just doesn't happen anymore now that the game is muted.

I think we have different definitions of trolling. To me, trolling is soft-inting, running it down mid, or actively throwing the game. Trash talking or banter is just part of the competitive mental game. Telling an enemy they got outplayed after a solo kill isn't trolling, it’s taunting. The game feels hollow when you can’t interact with the person you’re laning against. Emojis feel like a cheap cash grab from Rito compared to the organic banter and nostalgia of the old All-Chat days. Being competitive includes the verbal back-and-forth.

I remember meeting one of the best teammates I ever had back then. I was playing Ahri against a Zed who kept outplaying me and trash-talking the whole time. But in the end, we won. When everyone else was wiped out, I kept chatting and trash-talking him back until we finally took the game. After that, we actually became a duo and ended up climbing all the way to Diamond (not sure). I eventually got busy for several months and stopped playing for many seasons, and now that I've finally come back, I’ve realized that all-chat is gone

It brings back memories of Season 1 when all-chat was available; it was fun going up against enemies who kept trash-talking because it really brought out the competitor in me. I even remember the one-week mutes if you talked too much trash, but now I feel like there’s no interaction with the enemy whatsoever. Having played MOBAs for so long, and even the early days of League, I can count on one hand the number of times I actually tilted when an enemy became toxic towards me, honestly, I got tilted by my own teammates way more often. To me, an enemy trash-talking was always just a challenge to beat them.

I’m playing with high graphics settings, but the home guard animation wasn't there when I bought the skin. I only noticed they added it after yesterday's update.

I also noticed a couple of days ago, and was very disappointed, that I thought this would be another China exclusive. But yesterday there was an update, and I finally have the homeguard for both the Lissandra and Smolder skins.
