There's something wrong with this generation. Can't you put the phone down without picking it up? Especially during ranked games?
I can't count how many throws I have had to deal with because of "sorry I was texting"...
Weathered2 votesSome people find talking to people they actually know more important than an online game, but there's room to argue.
Angry Monster2 votesthen dont play rank?
Weathered2 votesI'm not speaking on my behalf, I'm just justifying the other side.
Angry Monster2 votesbut that is the response to the other side, even if it does not apply to you.
If something else will be more important at that time, do not play. It should be a courtesy afforded to the rest of your team.

I have to agree with Angry Monster, if you are going to go afk randomly for whatever reason, don't play ranked games.

I had one instance where I was playing J4 against Quinn. She used her blind on me as I E-Q combo'd her, and she dodged it really hard to the side. I was certain she must have flashed, so I called Quinn F. My jungler came to the lane to gank, and oops - she still had F. We got the kill anyways, and then pushed the wave. I stepped in to a bush to recall, then started typing in chat to apologize to my jungler and explain why I called Quinn F. Then the enemy jungler came. I thought I cancelled the text, but I died and my text had the first few characters I had typed followed by "... wwwwwwwwwwwwwweqf".
Like, oops. All because I was typing something completely reasonable to type. IDK - I feel like there needs to be a better way to react. E.g. if you start taking damage from a champion the game should automatically lock out your chat and let you use abilities again (maybe not summoners immediately so you don't accidentally flash when trying to type, but basic abilities why not).

due to the alistar dying for running into a 1v2 and ali saying "wtf I was looking for my phone", followed by several "sorry I was texting" and a score of 1/13/11, yes I'm sure it was phone texting...
