Lot of people say to mute chat but how do you do it?
Can you mute chat completely or you have to mute every player in every game you play ?
Got tired of the chat after my last experience.

You can disable Allied Chat completely from the āSocialā tab in the options, but Iād recommend some self-restraint and refusing to engage in flame baits instead.
It can hurt your win ratio to not see any allied chat, when your team is making decisions like going to boss, skipping an objective etc., not every player you come across will be a flamer.
You donāt need to type anything (and in fact this will make you completely immune to false and malicious Abusive Chat reports; they donāt count against you if you havenāt typed), but IMO it never hurts to see the chat. If someone goes overboard or starts being abusive just block that individual rather than the entire chat.

Not completely, as they could use something you typed before in a completely different game.
escape, options, social, mute team chat. I pretty much never turn it on anymore cause too many hateful or raciest players.

Those reports will of course count, but fortunately as of 2018 false reports against people who never typed anything during the current match will go straight into the trash bin:
Abusive chat or spam reports are ignored if they are issued against a player who hasnāt participated in in-game chat or public chat channels.
Abusive chat and abusive voice reports issued by players on an enemy team are also ignored.
Took them long enough to make that change, but at least they did it.
Itās also incredible you were able to stack up silence reports for enemies for 3 years since the report system went online.

Better late than never I guess.
I agree. Iām switching to ānever speak, only pingsā playstyle myself. And itās been hard, sometimes I fail just because Iām so used to chatting. Iāve decided itās for the best though; pings are all the communication you need to give in most circumstances.
While turning off all chat might be tempting, I would miss hearing the GOOD people too much. Theyāre rare, but theyāre around. So instead I just have my trigger finger on the abusive chat report button. No 3 strikes here. 1 violation as simple as ā[player x] sucksā is reported and muted. Period. No mercy. This policy of mine has led to a better online experience, and may have even boosted my win rate a bit.
