Please never remove all-chat in Dota (League of Legends just removed their all-chat)

I think that all-chat adds a level of spice, drama and banter to the game that gives the game a soul. It is like offensive tipping, sprays, taunts, high 5s etc. It's a form of expression. Is it rude? Yea it could potentially be. Is it fun? Hell yea, for both the players and the spectators.

League of legends just removed their all-chat. I played Heroes of the Storm for years (another MOBA) and that game also removed all-chat to prevent toxicity. The feel of those games are... it's a sterile environment. It's not as lively as Dota, you're playing in a controlled, safe, sterile space with no soul.

Most toxicity comes from teammates anyway, not your enemies.

Dota might consider removing all-chat one day to cater to those easily offended who haven't learnt how to use the mute button but I think it'd be a mistake.

I can't imagine watching TI without features like allchat, tipping, taunts, sprays etc.

​

On an unrelated note, I also think it'd be way better for the game if the language filter were turned off by default. Those who don't want to see vulgar words can turn it on manually but leave it off for everyone else.

It's quite unfortunate that I can't type stuff to my friends/party/teammates stuff like:

"Sorry I fucked up"

"He's shitting on me in lane, come help"

"That item's crap on your hero, don't buy it"

And stuff like that. It's also so stupid that the game screams at you "HOOOOLYY SHIIIIT, OWNAGE" but the word "shit" is censored in chat. Dota had freedom of speech without a vulgar language filter for 15 years and no one complained and suddenly we have this annoying filter to cater to people who can't find the mute button.
