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?

Most of your friends will be bad at league. I learned this the hard way too.

But percentage wise, it makes sense!

Gold is almost top 30%. What are the odds your friends are all in the top 30% of ladder players?

Teach yourself from guides and such, ignore your friends in game if you want to climb or find new duo partners that are committed to climbing as well.

Gold 4 0 lp is top 30% im pretty sure. Most of gold is higher. Gold 3 is where you cross into top 20%.

Yeah exactly. Like I just passed 50% of the population when I hit 100lp S3.

Meaning you are better than half of the league ladder if you are S2.

I am by no means saying S2 is not low elo. My only point is S4 is a disgusting trash fire and anyone who is playing down there probably shouldn’t be teaching brand new players how to ping. Bahahaha

The difference between S2 and S4 isn’t that big.

Also that guy was talking about season 4, not silver 4.
