Enemy reports should not count towards a mid-game auto-mute. My teammates still need my chat!
Prefacing this by saying I'm 12k/12k on comm/behavior score.
The whole game was very PMA and everyone was getting along.
Our support CM needed to reconnect and asked team for a pause, so we did.
In allchat, I humorously typed, verbatim, "sorry, CM needs to go m*sturbate wait 2 mins". And then the enemy team 5 stack reported me, I guess? I lost my chat privileges for the rest of the game. We won that game so whatever.
We laughed about it afterwards but in all seriousness, there's no reason for an enemy report to count towards mid-game mutes at all. I was the shot-caller for that game. We had a good lead before the mute but the game came very close to losing after I lost my rights to chat, voice and ping.
Only teammate report should count towards automutes.
The bigger issue is that if this becomes widespread knowledge, people will end up using it to their advantage to mute enemy players. Not great design at all.
