What rule do you want to change?

class-methods-use-this

What change do you want to make?

Generate fewer warnings

How do you think the change should be implemented?

A new option

Example code

abstract class Base {
  abstract method(): void;
  abstract property: () => void;
}

class Derived extends Base {
  override method() {}
  override property = () => {};
}

What does the rule currently do for this code?

Reports on the method and property for not using this.

This is sub-optimal because some projects prefer organizing code in class extensions even when derived methods don't always need to use this.

What will the rule do after it's changed?

If the user has enabled a new ignoreOverrideMethods option, ignore methods and method-likes that are declared with the override keyword. No reports would be generated for that code.
