If you're going to play on the NA server please for the love of god.

Not really... English is the primary language in the US and Canada, the US has a decently large Spanish-speaking population, and Canada has a small French-speaking population.

Other than that, there's just a few Native American reservations where some of the older folks might still know their ancestral language, but everyone uses English except for the occasional tribal ceremony. And there's a few pockets in coastal regions where large numbers of Asian immigrants live together ("chinatowns" and the like). But, that's it.

Nearly everyone in NA's primary language is English and, if it isn't their primary, they almost always speak it decently as a secondary (especially considering the gamer demographic were talking about).

No mainly spanish

Then why do you expect everyone to speak english...?

The French Canadian people would like to have some polite words with you.

French (became of Canada) and Spanish aren't uncommon, but English is the most commonly spoken.

Chinese people are taking over :V

Unless they play with premades, yes. I am not a native english speaker either, but this game helped me alot in terms of learning english. When I started playing league 4 years ago, my english was pretty shitty, no joke. I never took any english classes besides the one at school, which was really bad when I think about it now. Now I can proudly say my english is so good, I can communicate with people around the whole world (in texting only, my pronouncements are shitty) and I'm really happy about it. The fact that everyone communicates in english makes it so much easier to learn the language and understand things you couldn't before.

Ok ... good to know, thanks.

I can't tell if this is a joke or if this happens on a regular enough basis that someone actually told a a German premade to stop speaking Spanish. ._.

It is, but Mexico's "main" server is LAN.

Imagine going to a McDonalds. Everyone appears American, but when they speak, they all speak French. To make it worse, they can't understand you.

You're just trying to do a simple task of getting food but just because they don't communicate in a way you don't understand, you can't complete your task. That's what it's like for English speakers to get in a game with a group of people that only speak french or refuse to speak english. Same for a person who only speaks french with people that don't know french.

It's just better that it's all one language. Not for ethnicity or diversity sake, but rather that a team game can actually be a team game.

It's a false analogy.

The McDonald's workers are by contract meant to know and speak the official language of whatever, because they're providing a service as a business, which makes them by obligation meant to know the official language and speak it as a default option to their customers (secondary options would be applied if communication can not be established too, such as grabbing someone who can speak the customer's language from the back to the counter).

But no one is providing service that's contracted by a business to play with their teammates, so they are under no obligation to speak the official language.

The correct analogy is that: There is a community game of whatever where everyone is free to join, and this guy comes in while speaking in a non-official language, and everyone is looking at him funny until one guy tells him "for the love of god, speak English".

Do you think it's justified?

Again, unless the teamwork is seriously being crippled, or that there is this dickbag who purposely goes to sabotage the team communication, otherwise there is literally nothing wrong if you don't speak the official language of whatever as long as there are using work-arounds like pings, or at least they follow the rest of the team.

If you have to have a team that all speak in the same language for clarify purposes, you can simply organise a premade. Solo queues are meant for solo'ers, it's never meant to have perfect communication and coordination.
