Riot Games REMOVED! language support???

In the newest iteration of the NA client riot has removed the ability to change your language from English to anything else and now you're forced to only use English. What about players who don't speak English but live in NA? To me and presumably a lot of other players removing language support is just hilarious and even irritating. Picture a Japanese player in New York, literally shafted. [slayer-jinx-unamused]

This... was never a feature.

Ever. In any client iteration.

Their management team is pure dog shit when it comes to priorities surrounding user experience. Plenty of other online games have full language support across different servers around the world so Riot has zero excuses. My only guess would be that their old legacy code is so convoluted that the only way to implement this feasibly is to rebuild it from the ground up and management does not like to hear that. So instead we are left with a buggy client, and now no language support for who knows how long.

Yep. It's complete bullshit (coming from someone who only speaks English mind you). It's stupid that they seem to think everyone in NA speaks English.

When was this ever possible? I have never once seen that as part of the game, the current client nor the legacy client.
