Riot needs to add in a voice chat max volume so it doesn't sound higher than game sounds

Story time.

Yesterday I was playing ranked and had 2 interactions with a player that was using Sage.

First one, enemies planted on B in Bind and were both on site, and Sage was shift walking on A short. I told him to "push faster Sage".

Second one, another B plant and Sage stops to destroy KJ turret, with KJ already dead, loosing time and giving away his position. I let the round come to an end, and then in a polite way said "Sage, for future, you don't need to shoot KJ turret when she's dead. It doesn't work anymore".

He then said "Here is what I have to say to you", and proceeded to either scream, or play a scream sound on voice, so so loud, that it hurt my hears. Not sure what's wrong on his life to react like that...

That really messed up with my hears, had a few rounds where I could barely play, and of course other 2 guys that were complaining that I was throwing the game on purpose, I see after match on tracker.gg that were in a party with him.

I eventually managed to start playing, first with no sound, so handicaped, and then with really low volume after muting the entire team, and still went to be Team MVP and we still won the game.

Even after sleeping I still feel a bit of disconfort. Riot really needs to do some changes. to prevent voice comms to be so much louder than game sounds. not sure how that isn't done yet. I already had this happen before, but never to a point where it actually hurt.

I reported the player on the website as well, as this is an extreme level of toxicity I never seen before, actually causing phisical harm to another person.

To the guy who did this, pls go see a therapist. Something definetly wrong with you if this is how you behave.

To other ppl here, better have a button ready to mute all voices to use in case this happens. I'm sure it will be faster than actually taking the headset off
