When are we going to ban non-english speakers on US servers?

I just had a 3-man squad portugese only speakers on my team, and would never communicate in english. I was constantly getting flamed by the one but never even knew what he was saying or what he wanted from me because he never spoke english. C'mon guys, if you're on the US server speak english. There's an LAN server for a reason.

I was under the impression that it's the North American server, not US. There are other countries here, and they do not solely speak English.

I'm not going to accuse you of anything you didn't mean, but this is really not a stance I think you intended to take. You know the United States technically has no official language, right? What if, I dunno, the people who were speaking to you actually live in the goddamn United States? Do you think Riot's going to tell potential customers to piss off for not speaking English because you lost a few LP?

You don't even know if they flamed you if you didn't understand their language, and if you don't know what their saying, then why exactly do you care that he's flaming you?

"US Servers" I hope Riot makes a Canadian server soon so I can stop pretending to be American.

The type of people who think "ENGLISH ONLY SHOULD BE SPOKEN!" Grow up. You have pings to use anyway.

I already encounter people who speak mostly Polish and English both at a decent amount but literally RARELY encounter someone or some people who speak Arabic. As an Arab, it makes me feel lonely in that server.

Server location should be chosen based on the location of the player for the sake of latency. Not because they speak one language or another. There are plenty of tools available to the player to still communicate with each other past any language barrier.

banning people for playing on other servers is dumb

if you have issues with what someone is saying in chat, mute them, it's that simple

If you see people using a foreign language in chat simply ask "Hey can you switch over to English?" if they continue to speak in their own language then mute them and ignore them, because they clearly either; A) Don't know the language, or B) Don't want to switch over

The United States has no official language for a reason. It's also the North American server. Additionally, what are you going to do five years from now when then are more Spanish speakers than English speakers in the US? Maybe the problem is that you need to learn more languages. Duo Lingo is having a sale right now.

Most of the conversations held in the chat are pretty useless regardless of the language so I don't understand why you would want to ban people because of the language they use to say useless things.

i'd honestly love to have English only servers it's so annoying to have someone in your team just fill up the chat in their own random language

I don't think we should ban non englsih speakers from the USA server because they should see people speaking in ENGLISH to want to grow and change themselves. It's a humanitarian crisis and if we don't bring them in how will we lift them up? As a member of this server, No! We're too good for that and it would let some of our LIGHT be wasted!!!!
