Reports for improper server

there needs to be a report option for people that are on the wrong server. I have lost 5 games today due to being unable to communicate with the team because they dont speak any language spoken in North America. Which, pardon my language, is horse shit. There are enough servers they can go to a home server and there would be far less stress. I am personally fed up with losing games because these people dont take advice or can't, don't or can't read what is being suggested and they feed. If they want to play as such, they should be put in the appropriate place, or we should at least given the option of reporting them for it. The additional servers have been open long enough that there is no reason I should still have to play with people I can't understand after this long with this many servers, especiall when Riot offered free transfer tokens almost every time you opened a server. So please all of you trolls that are gonna call me rude, go right ahead, this is how I feel, this is something that should be taken care of, and this is something that hasn't been addressed. True, America is a melting pot, and so is Canada really for that matter, but English is and always has been the predominant language of those countries and people should not have to lose games because our server is over packed with spanish russian and Korean speaking players that cannot understand english and therefore are incapable of communication. Refusing to communicate is not good enough of a report option at that point IMO. Please stop language 's. Thanks

The United States has no official language. Any language spoken in the U.S. (that is: any language at all) should be expected on the NA servers. The servers aren't targeted at people who speak a specific language. Anybody that lives in NA is allowed to play on the NA servers regardless of what language they speak. Spanish speaking players shouldn't be forced to use the LA servers. Any Russian player living in the U.S. shouldn't be forced to have like a 300 ping just because they don't speak English.

As for "lack of communication" -- the people on the European servers seem to work around their language barrier 'problem' by using the ping system, and those players are far more diverse in language than people on the NA servers. That's because the ping system is more than adequate enough for solo queue. They also don't seem to have a problem learning a few basic things in other languages, something that I find is out of the question for American players. God forbid someone puts in the time and effort to learn how to say "push mid" in Spanish.

But really, the ping system is enough. If someone ignores your ping being able to berate them in English and have them understand you won't help anything because they're choosing to ignore your ping. You guys ace them and you ping their mid inhib and someone is going for wolves? Guess what bro, their language has nothing to do with it. They don't understand that it's time to get inhib and if they spoke English they still wouldn't understand with you wasting time to type it in chat. This isn't a language barrier issue, it's a stupidity issue.

You do know that servers are based on region, not primary language? Someone plays on the North America server because they live in North America region, not because they speak english. The NA client is in English because it is the most commonly spoken language within this region, not because one has to speak English in order to play on the server.
