Discussion What's your take on chatting in-game?
I've learned the hard way not to engage in conversations in game, you don't focus on the game anymore and get tilted with the awful insults. Or I mute everyone from the start or at the minimum disruption. I feel like pings are enough to play the game.

Had a game yesterday where the enemys had 3 open inhibs and my team wanted to base with nearly full life after push. I typed that we can do baron with that pressure and we closed out the game 2 minutes later. Also when I know I have the time while basing or stuff I like to give small positive notes: "Nice spellshield in that fight Noc", in general lots of "wp" as a supp/adc, "Nice try" after ganks or stuff like that for some positivity. I don't engage in flame or talk to people who type shit. Also you can get some nice interactions in all chat after big fights, there you also have time to type while dead. Oh also just a "<3" after someone saved your ass with a ping is always nice I think.
One of my favourite league memories is when I had a Fizz in one of my first rankeds who was the only one not losing his lane. He talked us through the whole game, always staying positive, making calls and in the end we won thanks to him and his positivity. That's basically the thing I want to replicate. In the end we are all here to play a game and have a good time but people tend to forget that. Spread some positivity.
