User blog comment:The Completionist/What function does the ignore list have, and does anybody actually use the mute button?/@comment-23886783-20130929115538

I use mute a lot. It doesn't hurt my chances of winning either; the people I mute are the sort who are usually far too busy finger pointing or just nonstop whining at the other team rather than giving useful hints. Being able to silence those people has really made the game far more enjoyable for me.

And claim what you what, but I find it far more "manly" to just mute the person and not give them another thought. You know, simply refusing to get involved with their childish rantings ;)
