User blog comment:The Completionist/What function does the ignore list have, and does anybody actually use the mute button?/@comment-23861089-20130928202908

I mute pretty much every toxic player. It won't hurt your game more than the toxic person hurts it anyway. Pings don't get blocked, and honestly, how often do these people suddendly say somting of great value, that you cannot afford to miss? Furhtermore, how 'unmanly 'it may ever feel, shutting down something that will probably have a negative impact on your focus on the game can only help you win.

Really, i have seen so many games go down the toilet because people chose to not mute a Flamer until they became so annoyed that they flamed back, and even if they don't, it often has a significant influence on the game. If you start missing more and more Skillshots, get caught and stuff, you definately are better off muting them.
