A very annoying and disrespecful phenomena in the EU servers only the players can solve.

Please stop speaking languages other than English while in game. Just stop! You have a duo? cool! there are 3 more people in your team who deserve to know what are you planning on doing in their game! And if you have at least minimal respect even if there's even 1 guy who doesn't speak your language then DONT SPEAK IT! It got to a point where I get flamed and threatened to be reported for racism by an entire team because I asked them to speak English? Are you serious EUNE?! My native language is far from being English but never did I speak with someone in my own language in the game itself and trust me there are plenty. It's even for your own good! How can you expect cooperation from teamates who have no clue what are you going to do?! I don't think a Rioter would see this (or even care enough if he would),but please make an option after game that says "refusing to communicate" or something like that. Don't make it a punishable offense but make it so if people do complain about this for a specific player then he will get a notification encouraging him to stop it.

You know what's even more disrespectful and annoying? Trying to dictate how people play the game.

If they have something to tell you, they'll probably say it in English.

If you find it annoying that they don't speak English, mute them. They shouldn't have to change, just because you don't like it.

Problem is, he is not wrong in the point he addresses. If you speak a different language on intent, mostly means to insult, you are by default refusing to communicate. Sure, that doesn't always apply, but sometimes isn't never.

While people are free to talk to each others however they like, if it is a team based decision, you will have to communicate it in some way the others understand it.

Besides, Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't voicechat partly created to provide means for doing just that`? Talk to premades how you want so you dont have to obscure communication, and accidentally get yourself punished as well, depending on what you said, and why.

But what is the problem with refusing to communicate in chat? If you're still using pings I don't see the problem. And why assume that people are insulting you just because they are speaking a different language? And even if they are, why do you care when you don't understand what they're saying anyways?

You don't have to communicate anything in chat. There are people who /muteall at the start of every game. Should they be punished aswell?

And when was the last time you held a poll to decide something as a team?

But most people who speak a different language in chat do it because they can't talk over voice chat. Most often it's because they aren't premade, but they could also just not have a microphone. Again, if you don't like them speaking in chat, mute them. They shouldn't have to change.

Perhaps I would care or bother to translate if I wasn't sure you mixed languages together.

Maybe if you have an issue on the EU servers that only EU players can solve, you should post it on the EU boards?
