You cant afford to be positive because you would waste communication used for gameplay . And you cant congratulate the enemy team or say gg. Or glhf. .and if anyone says " just dont be toxic " no one asked you.
BlueThingamajig2 votesArguably, you can afford to do so, and should. Getting into the habit of only saying "glhf", "nice drag" and "ggwp" in a game is one of the ways to not be punished again.
scazzman2 votesYou cannot. As players on chat restrictions are prohibited from using allchat
S0NA1 votesHow does that stop you saying "ggwp" to your team? Or in post game chat?
scazzman2 votesPlease don't split hairs
TrulyBland2 votesHow is that splitting hairs? You say "you can't afford to be positive", but there still clearly are opportunities to be positive.
And either way, you don't get chat restrictions for not being positive enough, you get chat restrictions for being too negative. Thus chat restrictions aim to teach people not to be negative anymore rather than being more positive. (Or if you prefer that interpretation: They aim to restrict peoples' ability to be negative, not make them be more positive.)
And that's important; behaviour isn't arithmetic. Positive behaviour and negative behaviour are neither mutually exclusive, nor do they cancel each other out.
