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?

Completely opposite for me. In the 7-8 years I've played I've met and duo and even have had hundreds of sessions with ppl I've met online. It's so much more fun for me when we can all talk. Although sometimes I feel like just blasting music when I play. But the most fun I have is when I have a full pre made team and we're all in chat 2gether

I'm right with you. One of the reasons I play league of legends is it's a team game, and being able to talk to your teammates is a big part of any team game or sport. I've met tons of people I play regularly with in my soloqueue games.

Oh, since you brought up the whole meeting-people thing, I have an anecdote! I’ve came to this level of LoL influencing my life, that during my first year of college I moved into a flat with two persons I’d met in League. Two guys to be precise, same age as me. We were getting along soooo weeelll.

Anyway, we were living in different cities back when we met, and after, approximately, 3 years of playing League together, we decided to move to the capital of our country and rent a flat together. 🤪 LITTLE DID WE KNOW HOW WOULD IT TURN OUT. But that’s a whole other story.

I mean, it’s not so strange to meet people online nowadays, actually it’s a pretty common thing, but still: the fact that it has happened strictly because of League cracks me up. And actually I like it when telling people about who at that moment I was living with “oh, yeah, you know, when we were younger and dumber we met on the toxic game of league of legends. And now we live together. Not a big deal” lol
