Chat Macros Please Riot

ViralDisease··1 votes·599 views

With the new que system in place it makes it harder for 5 man pugs to compete against 3-4 man pre-mades. It is nice to have an in-game alert system but alerts do not spell out what the team should do and typing what needs to be done can be time consuming and messy, seconds do count. Having a macro set to say; (Please do not chase. or Please do not fight in the jungle. or Please do not all back they enemy is down, lets take a tower/inhib then dragon/baron.) can drastically improve 5 man pug play.

Now for the 2-cent'ers:

Can an in-game chat macro be used for flaming or BMing? Yes it can, but flaming and BMing is report worthy and possibly bannable. Some people consider spamming your champions rank after downing your opponent BMing, some consider spamming champion taunts BMing.

Do players have the option to use in-game voice programs like curse voice or discord? Yes they do, but some people do not own a microphone, others do not have cpu resources to allocate to another program while running LOL, and various other reasons.

Why can you not just type out what is needed to be said when it needs to be said? You absolutely can, but as I mentioned above seconds do count. How many times have you died or lost game time do to typing on the keyboard in chat or misspelled a word then had to retype it or have a team mate question your english?

You do realize you can just do this on your own with a keybind program.

I can't bother to find one of the posts, but Rioters have come out multiple times saying that using a keybind for a auto chat message is ok. One Rioter even said he had "LET IT GOOOO" bound to his R as Janna. They are very strict only with gameplay macros, like trying to bind all of the ward jump to just one key. You can search for these posts, it's been covered before.

SO, either this red in this post is lying or you are, go troll another poster.

I'm not trolling, I have seen a Riot say he casually used chat macros just to say a simple message in chat on demand. If you still don't think it's safe don't use them, I'm not forcing you.
