People that do not speak English on NA

Lävëndër··9 votes·2,686 views

If you do not speak English on the NA get off. End of story. I'm tired of idiots who can't speak English ruining games because they don't want to communicate with the team, and they want to pick teemo adc, and poppy support. But if you speak out against it its "racism". No its called courtesy, learn what it is.

If your family moved to Japan, would you stop playing League until you had a mastery of Japanese? Or would you try and play with 500 ping on the NA server?

Don't make yourself look like an idiot for saying there's "no reason". There are more people ruining games that speak English on the NA server than those not speaking English.

Even in Japan, my friend doesn't speak a lick of Japanese, and he can still play normally (if not better because the ping in there is better than here). He just uses pings.

How are they ruining your games?

Because you can't understand them? Most people don't talk at all most of the time. Are they idiots that should leave the server you use?

Because their language offends or bothers you? English can be offensive or annoying just the same. Mute it.

Because they communicate with each other and not the other players on the team? Premades do that sometimes when in voice chat. Should premades be kicked out for that?

What other reason might it be that isn't those or racism?

there is an issue when you cant communicate with your teammates, English is the primarily spoken language in NA. If you are that pathetic to find a language offensive you have a problem.

"if you do not speak english on the NA get off." your first sentence in your forum post. Now read the sentence i pointed out from this message here.

Might have your problem fixed if you realize it isnt theirs, but yours.

You know NA covers places that don't speak English as a main language right?

LAN server

Oh, right...

To be fair, a good portion of the USA speaks Spanish, and Canada uses French as well as English.

But yeah, I guess I'm wrong on the Mexico front...

If you think about it, Chinese, English and Spanish are the most spoken languages in the world. It really isn't hard to learn Spanish in comparison to learning Chinese though. A lot of phrases in Spanish are easy to pick up and a lot of phrases in general from European languages are similar given the base language they all came from.

It was honestly easier for me to learn Spanish than English, and English is the first formal language I learned in school. I managed to learn Spanish with 2 years of formal education and 8+ years of Spanish interaction with others. I've had to deal with English for 13 years in a formal class, and 24+ years of constant interaction with others and I still have difficulty with English, mainly because of slang and others also not knowing how to speak English eloquently.

Also, the LAN server doesn't cover just Mexico.

Yeah ive always heard english is the most ridiculous confusing language. A lot of words with two meanings and words that are identical but mean different things lol. Its pretty dumb sometimes. My GF is colombian and constantly bitches about it.

People on the European continent often speak 3 or 4 different languages. Not sure you ought be calling people stupid for you not understanding more than one. Our continent's main languages are Spanish, English and French. I've learned some Spanish, and as a result I can also understand a little bit of Italian and Portuguese as well.

If other North-American languages bother you in game, just apologize for your limitations and ask them if they can pick up your slack. Some can't, but some can and will. Or, you could just mute and ping.

The problem is when they speak with the team only to say "el noob, i go down mid now" and proceed to go 0-13 while chatting in allchat with their Spanish buddy who is wintrading with them. Yet riot finds this okay

You could ask them nicely to use pings.

It doesn't really matter what language someone speaks outside of League, or in the chatbox at all. Pings in League are the universal language.

Lol just use pings man. Jesus... so angry about people not being able to chat. Big fuckin deal. Want something done? Ping it. They arent gonna respond half the time anyways, regardless of language.
