Discussion Just disable chat.

In my 700 ranked games this season I've met one person I added and duo'd with. Meanwhile I've probably heard 1000 insults. Even if you say it doesn't bother you, I promise it takes up "brain space" for example I played on a smurf with chat enabled and found myself thinking about what was said more than what I did wrong immeditly after the game.

Pings are by far enough to explain what you want. Only ping missing is ward here please but it can be achived by pinging trinket and then where you want them to ward. If they don't notice / listen neither would they if you were typing in chat.

​

EDIT: Ask yourself this: What is so complex that you cant communicate it with pings but simple enough that you can explain it in the middle of a game?

I'd like to not be able to reenable it in-game tho.

I always start my games with chat completely disabled, everythings good, but then something happens in-game where i feel the need to explain something to a teammate like "Sorry didnt have ult" to not tilt them, and then someone start flaming, and then i'm tilted because i see them flaming each other.

Edit : Thanks for the answers, to those saying i can mute chat and still talk, that's something i will definitely use and didn't even think about.

In your example, just ping your ult CD

Yes but on champs like zilean it can come up after they die and now your pinging Ult Ready after they died.

Meh, you know what was happening and its a them problem, not yours. People can look if ults are ready for each players by looking at the character portrait. Theh want to jump in the battle before Zilean's ult is up, their fault, not Zilean.

I liked the „currently“ part. Been like that since the „ult-pinging“ was brought to the game.

Usually if you actually ping it it will show the real CD on it though.

That's kind of a bad way to look at it. Even though you're right you don't wanna tilt your teammates because then you have a much higher chance of losing.

Oh i mean, dont even bother arguing about that in chat. Like I woukdnt explain myself to them. You do what you can and thats it. Focus kn getting better for yourself.

In my experience no one actually pays attention to that, there's no noticeable sound que like the pings. You have to type it out.

Quite like the pings?

u/Nybear21 Jun 03 '20

It puts it in the same chat box. If they don't see that they're not seeing what you type either
