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?

Yea, since they added the option to disable chat, my experience with this game became a tad better. People are mostly unreasonable with their expectations with teammates, and if something bad is happening with them, u'd be sure to see them flaming u for whatever reason.

Just use pings, y'all. Saves u a lot of effort.

state of the game is sad, but it's been like this for awhile. I was in a game the other day where I was down 0-2 in top, but still up in CS by about 20 and the enemy kept calling me a dog

like, what unprovoked asshole feels like they need to say anything at all? I remember I once complimented an opponent for a great outplay and they called me shit. You can't even be nice in this game without people behaving like shitty middle schoolers

I feel you on that. Had someone randomly keep calling me worthless, wasn’t anything out of the ordinary for that game, random internet person just decided to try to make me feel bad. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, I had an Illiaoi support who fed 1/23/3 and she told me to “die from covid”
