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]

Ever. In any client iteration.
A Bad Nasus2 votesTheir 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.

steven45474662 votesYep. 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.
Sukishoo1 votesYet the game is intended mainly for an English speaking audience when they create a large part of the assets that are seen. The other languages are handled by other parts of their company, in other regions. So, being this game was created by an American company, you'd think their target audience was meant to be English (and the rest, come after)

u'd think that language support would be a feature on a game over 10 years old with this much popularity?
Sukishoo1 votesWhen was this ever possible? I have never once seen that as part of the game, the current client nor the legacy client.

You used to be able to change it, not with the client though. You had to go into settings. Now that is simply just impossible.
Sukishoo2 votesYeah maybe by changing the game files, but they have since made it so you cannot modify those. However, the OP claims it was part of the client, and it never was.
