Refusing to Communicate with Team

Best Valor NA··2 votes·538 views

Why isn't "Refusing to Communicate with Team" a report-able offense anymore? So ignoring what everyone in champ select picks/says and going mid Leona when someone else is mid fine? When someone says "Guys lets group and take baron" and someone goes off and farms jungle for the rest of the game is fine too? Not communicating hurts the team TERRIBLY. If someone could explain why it was taken out that would be wonderful. Thank you!

So if I want to play Leona mid I can't, because if I do and you disagree that is refusing to communicate? Or if I think your baron call is a bad call so I go farm the jungle all of the sudden you can report me because what? you disagree?! We have way to many options to report players as is right now we don't need another.

P.S don't hate on leona mid that shit is op as fuck!

I'm not hating on Leona mid, I'm hating on the people that don't talk in game. If you wanna go Leona mid then go for it, but at least talk in chat and say like "gonna go leo mid if thats okay." . And if you were to disagree with a baron call you could possibly say 'Guys i don't think baron is a good idea' or something, not just ignoring and jungling.

It's like, the META is not law. If you want to follow, have the person that wanted mid but leona locked and went mid go somewhere else. You can play anything anywhere if you wish, the general power level may be different than other champions in that role, but it's allowed.

There are a multitude of reasons why I might not communicate with a team, the biggest one being, I really don't care. I'm trying to help the team, that's all that should matter. And different people see helping the team in different ways. I could split push because I think It is what would win the game.

The refusing to communicate with team report function has so many problems with it that it easily outweighs the possibly 1 time that it's legit, in which case you might as well report for intent feeding.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the punishment for refusing to communicate used to be chat restrictions? So if I got reported for refusing to communicate riot would just take away one of my ways of communicating?

I'm not saying the META is law. And I'm not saying Leona mid is a bannable offense, I'm just saying people should have to try to communicate. I understand that you can disagree, but you can disagree, and tell them "Guys i think split pushing will work" instead of just going botlane and not saying anything. I said refusing to COMMUNICATE, not refusing to Cooperate >.>
