Message to duos: There are 5 people on your team

That's right. 5 people on your team, not 2.

I know you want to help your girlfriend/boyfriend/brother/sister/dudebro/friend out, and it might make you feel bad to see your top lane friend feeding when you're the jungler, or to see your mid lane brother feed when you're the support, but remember that in this game, there are 3 other team members who need help/ganks/heals/etc.

This goes especially for dating couples, because dating couples tend to be the biggest example of duos that forget the other 3 members on their team who need help. If you want to have some alone time with each other while playing League, I'd suggest a custom game. If you're playing ranked or even 5v5 normals, you have to work with the rest of your team. Also we don't need to hear your cutesy talk.

Another point - nobody wants to hear your inside jokes, flirting, and other comments that only pertain to you and your duo and nobody else.

Example: Duo1: yo joe wassup, how was that halloween event with mack and jenna? Duo2: that was so awesome man, did u see josh's awesome prank lol Duo1: ikr that was crazy Duo2: did you remember when we threw water balloons at our neighbors houses? Duo1: SWAG YO that old lady across the street was so pissed off lol Other player not in the duo: we don't know what you're talking about and can we just play the game pls

Keep that to private chat please, or I'm just going to mute you.

I am not saying that every duo is like that. This is a message for the duos who do forget there are other members on the team and how they can become a better team player. If you are already a good team player while being in a duo, thank you for working with your team, and please stay that way. There are also duos who don't have bad intentions, they just don't realize that they're alienating the other 3 members of the team, and hopefully this message will help you realize if you are acting like one of those examples described.

It's more fun when you get a bunch of tacos filling the chat with who-knows-what though.

Yet, as a solo player, I would agree that a lil' more consideration from duos to solo players would be nice. Or, please dear god, Riot could stuff duos in team queue like they should and this problem would go poof as well as many others.

Don't bash at every single one of us, some of us duos love to sit and chat with the our other teammates! And actually work together, of course.

But then that's still a good reminder since duos who actually interact with other teammates don't come by too often.
