“abused” is purely perceptual. Some people might find a teammate spam ping ? over your champion after getting a penta as a compliment, others might find it annoying and apparently there are those who will find it as harrasment.

the irony is that those who complain about toxic babies are the same ones who are unwilling to use the mute features.

I don’t think it’s the "toxic babies"that are complaining on this sub. It’s mostly your average league player with some decent grasp of common sense complaining about why just because a small portion of the player base finds certain features that are “abused” by yet another small portion of the player base as “harrasment”, why does the whole player base pay the price by the removal of features that are overwhelmingly more useful than they are hurtful?
