When is the language BS going to end, Riot?

So if you play NA server your game HAS TO BE in English only? English is not the only language in North America. English is not even the official language of the United States. Why do we have to do tricks with the files so we can change the game to the language we want? Who decided something as ignorant (and xenophobic) as that?

Technically the U.S. doesn't have an official language. /shrug

When 99% of it speaks the same language, I don't care how much of a melting pot it is, it is the official language.

I'm sorry you are that ignorant about your same country. I moved to the US 2 years ago and even I know that. Trump voters, I guess.

There is technically no official language but government business is required to be conducted in english so in all practicality it is the official language.

There is nothing xenophobic about trying having 1 unified language so people can communicate properly in a game where that is important. And it makes sense to choose both the most use langue in the region and the language of the parent company.

IF this bothers you just play on another server. I'm in South America playing on the NA server, why do you think that is?

Señor Karthus2 votes

Missed the point. North America includes Canada. In Canada they also speak French. Why is English the only option?

And how is this different than the situation on other servers? You can't select English as a language on the Korean servers, making your "xenophobic" claim make you look rather rash.

Señor Karthus1 votes

It is not. What I am asking is that you can choose the language no matter where are you playing or in what server.

They have told you why they don't want this and they have a reason. if you could use any language then more people would use different servers which have languages they dont understand so then its harder to communicate

Señor Karthus1 votes

Because all people in North America speak English, right? Can you be a little less egocentric?

Byakuya Kuchiki1 votes

almost all do and most of the ones who dont have a server closer to them such as LAN
