Does Riot have plans to install a High-five Button anytime n the near future?

I ask because that would really be a good step away from toxicity imho. I can understand if you don't, but still I have my fingers crossed.

I agree. I'm often giving praise to my teammates but typing the gj wouldn't be as cool as a sound bite or something

I was thinking about a "Thanks", or "Good Job" ping. I wish I had that.

I don't know. I often use something else to do that. It's called Chat-Box I think

This. It shouldn't be required for Riot to implement a game mechanic that allows you to congratulate teammates, just type 'gj' in chat or if you're especially happy 'dude. you are amazing, you just singlehandedly won us that teamfight'.

I would love for that to happen. However, this would require animating 116 champions so that their "High Five" animation would match with every other champion. It's actually a LOT of work. Riot already has problems keeping up their production. (We are getting only 2 Harrowing skins this year) so... I can't really say they will do it, but it would be incredible if they did do this.

Yeah. I figured as much myself, but one can only hope for the future.

I think this idea should be used similar to a ping or team announcement! I don't imagine the champs actually high-fiving each other. The usage of a ping or quick /command which gives praise to the team/individual would be a great builder of teamwork. A "gj" is cool and all but a more refined or noticeable way to reinforce the good plays of teammates would greatly increase this feeling of positive teamwork!

Yeah. This is the basic Jist and idea of wha I was hoping for in the least. In all honesty I just want my Bruisers to chest bump, Yordles high-five, and casters/marksman give a cheesy thumbs up. I understand it won't happen, but I can always hope right? I mean as long as the teammate that I am letting know did a fantastic job then that is all that matters. It's just gj and nj are getting a little stale imho.

That sound very sweet.
