How to mute chat wheel sounds

[zenparadox]

Is there any way to mute just the stupid chat wheel sounds that people spam like crazy?
Noise pollution is bad for your health, and this is very much noise pollution.
It would be ok if people just used them sparingly, but listening to the same stupid noises spammed endlessly detracts a lot from the experience of playing.
If people want to listen to that rubbish on their side more power to them, but it would be great to not have to listen to it endlessly.

I'm not even sure what you mean. Are you saying to drown it out with other noise? That would increase the level of rubbish noise not decrease it. There's no in game setting I'm aware of, or could find any reference to in many pages of google search results that lets you pull the chat grief wheel sounds out of the mix, or I would have used it already...

just Mute them ez pz

Yeah look some people definitely muting them occurs early in the game. But for others who also say other useful things from time to time it would be useful to just mute the chat wheel nonsense.
It's a mystery as to why you wouldn't build this feature into the game, given it's obvious potential for overuse..

Yes you paid for your chat wheel, you still get to hear it so what's the problem?
It's almost like you're just a single digit iq troll just sheetposting...

No-ones asking to infringe on your right to listen to your own chat wheel spam, if that's how you get your sense of enjoyment from the game you still do.

You would undoubtedly be the kind of player that spams chatwheel rubbish. XD

I dont see the problem. People can only spam 2 chatwheel max. Its not a big deal. Also there are no chatwheel that is over offensive.

I don't see the problem; my not wanting to listen to noise pollution doesn't affect your game.

It's literally a QoL thing that only affects those who don't want to hear this.

Why can you turn down music, voice chat, every other sound except rubbish meaningless nonsense?

if you can turn down music, voice and every other sound except ''rubbish meaningless nonsense''

why would you not just turn off the entire game's sound altogether?

Well I'm glad you asked, since it seems comprehending complex ideas may not be your forte.

If you mute people on your team entirely, you cut out their ability to occasionally share useful information, as opposed to cheesey chat-wheel noise. (I do accept that every once in 20 games someone actually uses chat wheel for useful info, but it's the exception)

Since Dota is a team game, and said useful information (however infrequent) may help the team perform better; it would be ideal to be able to cut out noise to make signal clearer (google signal to noise ratios, I'm guessing from your question it's not something you're across yet).

And lastly a lesson in strawman arguments/extrapolation fails, since you served up the opportunity.

Just because I pointed out that you have control over most other auditory outputs but not chat wheels, doesn't mean I turn them all to zero. (game would be boring af with no sound, and it's a team game so muting completely your teammates is and should be a last resort for only the most toxic of players, as opposed to people with poor impulse control for cheese chat wheel noise)

Hopefully this helps you reply with more complex understanding and less strawman rubbish next time.

Its just unlogical. Chatwheel is harmless.

Oh, so anything other than your viewpoint is 'unlogical'? (it's illogical, just trying to help you look less like an uneducated forum troll)
Something of a logical fallacy in itself no?

I see you're still the resident Forum troll with little to offer Dante.
How's getting a life outside Dota forums going for you?
One day I'll come back to Dota forums after 12+ months away and you won't be here injecting yourself into every thread. Till then, have fun with that life.

I agree, it is annoying, especially when everyone spam the same exact line several time in a row. They can only spam 2 at a time, it is true, but if the whole enemy team does that it makes 10, it is awful. It is noise indeed and I wish there was an option to mute that and only that.

I will add communication from your teammates could be important, even if it is to be sure they didn't answer when you ask for smoke or Rosh. You can't mute the sound of the game either, sound is important, mk jump, pudge ulti and other important sound to hear.

No it isn't and it was directly told to you. It's like saying that sexually harassing girl is harmless, because you don't mean any harm, and don't see nothing bad in it.

People don't like that. And want a way out of it.
