My personal preference is to ping since I don't find typing to be super efficient. I've actually been in the middle of typing a couple times when I get attacked so my chat box ends up as "focus vaynqqqqqqqqqqwewwqwwewqqqqq" and I die.
We all know dat feel bro
Its worse when you think your typing but your actually casting spells
"fiddle pls gank-ENTER-oh shit"
I don't mind it if the pings are meaning something, but when they ping you 50 times to retreat while you are already retreating, now that is truly annoying.
I hate players like them….
using chat just leads to toxicity and me getting banned even though my team were the feeders trolls and afks ;-;
We all do lol. Especially when, after you are 30 mins into a game, they insult you once and go back to using only pings.
I like to only use pings, but that is cause I have dyslexia, so typing legibly, fast is not a thing for me.
Well that is understandable. Better to ping then stop moving for a minute to type something.
Most of the time I only ping because I can't type fast enough (aprox 50 words per minute) if I'm on my way out of the base I'll be like, "after I get X buff I'll gank top." or type "we need to group" I normally don't type too much in game.
same and its usually pretty effective
It depends.
If that said player is doing exceptionally well and is cooperative non-verbally, then it doesn't bother me. If the player is lousy and doesn't communicate, though, it does bother me.
