WHEN THE REAL FOCKIN PROBLEM IS PING SPAMMING WHICH CANT BE MUTED AND SHOWS UP ON UR SCREEN.. u can mute emote spamming and u wont know they are doing it. just wanna stamp on people's head when they ping cause it blocks out meaningful pings and cause its dumb+annoying

why can our own team ping that we're alive? what the hell is that about?

No kidding? This is a harsh nerf on Singed. But it should tone him down from the added laugh to fling.

This gives his opponents more windows of opportunity against his BMing. Singed will still be able to tilt his opponents, but requires more timing now. The change allows for more interaction, as there is more time between emotes. (is emotes part of gameplay?)

this will separate the good singed players from the great

I agree.

Ignoring someone should mute all communication from that player.

"A Demacian, a Noxian and a Freljordian walk into a tavern." "The barkeep asks, 'What'll it be?'" "The Demacian says, 'Uh, I'll have a wine.' No, wait, an ale! Yeah... " "Then the Noxian says, 'I'll have a... a wine.' Yeah, he wants a wine." "And the Freljordian says, 'I'll drink anything, so long as--- ' Wait, hold on, let me start over."

Alternatively, "A Noxian, a Targonian and a Piltie are robbing a bank." "The bank guy says, 'I'll give you whatever you want.'" "The Noxian says, 'I'll take whatever gold you got back there.'" "The Targonian says, 'Gimme' all your gemstones!'" "And the Piltie says, 'Can I own this ba--- uh, I own this bank, so...' He doesn't want anything because he owns the bank... "

Poppy wasn't able to emote spam in the first place though. She hasn't been changed.

Look upon greatness and weep, for we may never behold such a magnificent display again.

Infernal Nasus already lost spamming his laugh.... as did Zed afaik. It's a shame.One of the few things in the game actually making it fun especially in ranked. Spamming garen is indeed way too funny.

Spamming emotes is part of some people's playstyle. I swear, Riot finds creative ways to make the game worse every season.

God, it doesn't matter how grammatically correct "grammars" is, that's so cringe worthy. "Why are the grammars on the board so bad?" (shivers!!!!) dgsag jbgbjggdas

It's cuz they're both wrong. It's actually "Why is the grammar on the boards so bad".

Yeah, I know. I did it on purpose because I was using irony to highlight just how proficient people are with english on the boards.

See that? I used sarcasm this time.

I believe you are looking for the word "is".

Tolna6 votes

Too true, I agree. But you gotta admit that wierd coding on Nasus, Heimer, and the Nunu Bot skin making em unmutable is still pretty obnoxious.

Nothing like 40 minutes of "I ca-I can- I can hel- I- I...." From your teams Heimer. Really makes you wanna slap someone.

I wish they'd just force people to commit to the taunt animations, give a lil risk to that tilt power it has muhaha

Myrmiron2 votes

Honestly that would be amazing

Dobba11 votes

Muting mutes the emotes as well

Tolna2 votes

Only if it's on the enemy team and also only if it's not any of the newer champs and champs reworked after I think Heimer.

That's what they're fixing as I understand it. For some reason their voices only seem to go away if you mute the master volume. And allies can't have their champs muted traditionally. It only takes out their chat, not their champs lines so you have to put up with a laugh spamming ally the whole match if you want to hear your champ.

Kitty Clarissa5 votes

The player base gets tilted to much i bet, nowadays most people are doing it namely Yasuo Zed Vayne Riven LeeSin Lux (most of them laugh spam) I mean its fun to see them spam MR5-7 and then you kick their ass later game and they stop.

Emote spamming can be used to exploit game bugs/mechanics for extra extremely relevant power.

you just need one, it's not spamming

Emote spamming can be used to exploit game bugs/mechanics for extra extremely relevant power.

Ok then fix the bugs?

Because 99% of emote spam is literally just your character in one spot and their animation might disjoint their model from hitbox but you aren't moving other than your emote animation. That has literally 0 gameplay impact. Though this is under the assumption that emote spam is just turned off on most champs.

Talisid4 votes

Maybe because there are occasionally times when sending a lot of pings is useful, like making a string of pings to show the enemy's likely path though fog of war.

But there's never a good reason to emote spam.

Spice POWAH10 votes

is using it so you have something to do while waiting the like 2 minutes it takes for minions to get to lane considered a good reason?

I think they said Nasus' emote spamming was actually a bug of some kind. If they remove Garen's and Heimer's, I will be ultrasad. I don't see Liss' too often.

Shadragon2 votes

They already have removed it from all of those. I got a one for all as Lissandra earlier, and for the first time in my entire life I heard her complete taunts and jokes. They were terrible compared to the spam.

Jasiwel3 votes

Aww man, they removed Heimer's spam and Garen's twerking? That's so lame, even if they were bugs. I'm guessing the debuggers were tired of being spam-flamed in games against them. >_>

im still salty about them changing nasus. i think all champions should be able to spam emotes.

You can't mute emote spamming, you still see it. Same thing as spamtaunt and spam ping. Anyway of communication will be abused in some way by the community..

I only found a thread from 4 days ago saying Zed lost his emote spamming ability - which I just checked and is entirely false - and few isolated threads from 2012-2014.

Monkey D Luffy2 votes

I did some searching too, if correct, the emote spam that heimer and garen can do, that kind of spam is being removed... not sure how accurate though :$
