The chat system is useless, a post on toxicity

PhantomGG··4 votes·885 views

So I will either be massive down voted or maybe people will see my point and agree.

Attention everyone, literally everyone from Bronze to plat and especially bronze to silver.

The chat system is useless. Stop using it during game.

Some will argue that the chat system brings the following

-Teamwork -Communication -Friendship

Now let me ruin that image and give you a dose of reality

-If anyone in bronze-Silver knew what teamwork was, would they really be in bronze and silver? -If your teamates in bronze-silver knew how to communicate effectively that they would be in bronze through silver? -If they were here to make friend than why the hell are the playing a game mode, dedicated to make themselves climb and bring others down? No they aren't in ranked to make friends, they are in it to win.

Another point on the whole "If I don't use chat, than how will I make friends?"

-I will admit I am not a friendly guy, to be honest i'm abit of a dick in real life. but I have played over 1000 games on league of legends. And each game you meet 9 new people. So if you do the math, you can see where this is going. Out of ALL THOSE PEOPLE. I only made 3 friends whom I have known long term. Obviously more friendly people have better luck. But I am going to take a guess and say if a friendly person did my amount of games while performing my level, they have maybe only met like 16 people out of over 1000 games where you meet 9 new people per game.

So just to finalize what I have to say, people aren't friendly on here, nor are they looking to make new friends in game.

So now the TRUTH about the chat system pre Diamond

**TRUTH **

-People will flame you when you fuck up -People will flame you even when you don't fuck up -Rivals from the enemy team will flame you when you fuck up -Rivals will flame you when you kill them -If the enemy jungler notices your salty, they will camp you harder -If you piss the enemy team off, they will focus you harder -If you flame and argue back, you will piss your teammates off further, and they will play worse -And after all this negativity, by the time the game is over, you are simply going to feel like shit

SO AFTER ALL THESE NEGATIVE POINTS I HAVE JUST STATED ABOUT THE CHAT SYSTEM, WHY BOTHER USING IT?!

If you are one of those believers that the chat system can be used for good than remember the GOLDEN RULES OF CHAT

THE GOLDEN RULES

-Start every game with GL HF -Always say GJ when someone on your team gets a kill -Call out timers on summoners -Avoid all negativity -Never try to mediate a feud unless you are legit good at it, many times all you will do is make it worse -The moment you notice someone on your team is hard core toxic, insta mute them

This post is probably to long, but I am so sick of people fighting and argueing amongst themselves in game

All I have to say is this

Real carries don't bother typing, why?

For they are to busy carrying you to care for what your flaming mouth has to say.

No. You're cutting off the primary method for players to communicate. In a team-based game it's unbelievably important to be able to talk to other players in order to form plans/set goals/instruct/warn etc. It's true that people can abuse it, but a simple mute is all that it takes to eliminate the problem.

I'll say that All Chat isn't really ever useful and I wouldn't mind it being disabled in Ranked, but Team Chat is a necessity.

Let's assume for a moment that I agree with you. A voice system is not the answer. A. No one will use it and B. toxic attitude is now on voice....

I agree that something better could be in place.

Personally I would like to see a well done and throughout shortcut emote system. Similar to smart ping except actually good. This coupled with the removal of post game chat and all chat would make a big difference.

Without a chat system, how will people call flashes, summoner spells, ganks, locations, routes...you get the idea.

You're practically a flamethrower in this post as well. I don't care if you respond or not, because after this post, I'm

to busy carrying you to care for what your flaming mouth has to say.
