Typo in honor kudos in chat

LastManOnEarth··1 votes·321 views

Direct from after game chat: "mikeu117 was the most honorable player on their team CG YLance left the lobby DanZhu left the lobby mikeu117 left the lobby HeathCliKK was the most honorable player on their team"

Should read on first line: mikeu117 was the most honorable player on your team

Mike was on "your" team not "their" team

Easy to fix bug - smacks of non-native english speaker coding this part though. What happened to built in USA?

There's nothing wrong with the grammar here.

Each player on either team was the most honorable player on their team.

So I had no team?

Sorry, two "their" implicitly means either 3 teams, player identification of possessing a team, or two most honorable on the same team. Either one is valid AT THE SAME TIME (notwithstanding the rosters and ties count). In English we call this bad grammar since it leads to incorrect interpretations - just like the forgetting the Oxford comma.

Obviously the correct solution would be to write specific messages for the client side chat - kind of like specific messages. No confusion; no muss.

For example, 2 teams of 50 people each with 50 awards to give out. 49 people on one team get an award, 1 person on the other team. Mention each person on their team got the most awards (49 tie for 1st) and wala! you get people confused.

The principal I employ here is much better than a lazy interpretation.

Youre reaching way too far to fix something that's not broken. The grammar is perfectly fine.

They can make these things happen.

What I mean to say is that you for the downvote; it really helped Riot see the way you wanted the verbiage.

No problem, any time.

Let's see if Riot even acknowledges this one. Real easy to spot but it's a pain to get through their Design reviews and QA. What like 10 months now for the simplest things. Even a complaint like this one can be ignored for forever (like every other bug).
