Okay...this is just a PERSONAL experience, I want to share it with you guys and see if you people have had similar experiences, I invite anyone to participate in the discussion, however this happens more often to NON native english speakers...but of course it can also happen to English speakers, when they play with multiple players of other background, or when they have a particular accent (Ausie accent and such)
So this is my experience.
Before the mute system.
As you can see in this post my English might not be perfect, but I write good enough to make myself clear in whatever I'm trying to say, so calling "Miss mid" or "Ganking bot" or "I'll blink in, focus drow" is usually no problem, however a lot of people are pretty bitchy and complain about everything, and when I start speaking in the microphone (Its faster than typing, and NO I dont keep it open all the time, and I only say game related stuff) a lot of people start going racist "Go eat some tacos and do my dishes fucking mexican" which I really didnt care, I kept them unmuted because I like receiving and giving important game information even if they are douches, I only ever muted them if they were doing it constantly
After the mute system
You might think "Oh, he must love the mute system, now he can mute all those racists" But there's 2 main problems for me now with the mute system (When it comes to RACIST issues)
1° I dont have enough reports to deal with all the racists
2° I'm constantly reported and muted because of racist people, now they dont only abuse me in game, but also after the game
As I said, I'm not saying this is the case for EVERYONE who has been trough racism or who has seen or experienced it in an often basis, but still I'd like to hear your opinion:
has the Mute system reduced the racism you see? or the racism that you are victim of?
Or has it made you less likely to make racist comments in case you ever do it?
Or is it the other way around?
Have you been abused and muted by racist players?
So this is my experience.
