Make purposefully not speaking English in E.U Reportable.

Just played a match of ARAM where the duo purposefully spoke in another language to each other, and when I tried to communicate and say something, they just ignored it and brushed it off. I only speak English, and you're expected to do the same in a server that's PREDOMINANTLY English. Choosing not to do so just stops all communication purposefully and is almost grieffing. Shit-talking in another language so they can't understand you is just one of a few things possible heinous acts to commit.

There's no rule stating that people can't speak languages other than English in NA/EU servers. People aren't expected to exclusively speak English on an English-speaking server; they're at most expected to be able to, but even still, they're allowed to speak whatever language they can and want.

Maybe the duo was having a conversation that they didn't intend you to be privy to? Maybe they just work best as a duo, and consequently only communicate amongst themselves? There's no telling what their reasoning could be, but the fact remains, they're allowed to converse in whatever language they want.

Choosing not to do so just stops all communication purposefully and is almost grieffing.

Would you rather they not talk at all? They don't have to do exactly what you want them to do, as long as they're playing to win and still following the rules.

Shit-talking in another language so they can't understand you is just one of a few things possible heinous acts to commit.

If you suspect they're insulting or flaming you in another language, you can report them for it.

“Shit-talking in another language so they can't understand you is just one of a few things possible heinous acts to commit.”

One of the few stances that R107 Games holds that I agree with: if you can’t understand the “shit talk” in a foreign language, why does it matter? It’s not like you can take offense to a language you don’t speak. Unless just seeing other languages upsets you, in which case you have a much bigger, more serious problem.

I mean its Aram just play ur own game and dont care about ur teammates. There is a 90% chance of getting less than serious players in Aram for the obvious reason that its a very little serious mode.

on the same hand, people from na and eu that Korean solo q accounts, would be banned instantly for speaking english.. lotta streamers would be mad (but tbh to even get a Korean solo q account outside na you basically need to commit identity theft so)
