Chat Macros Please Riot
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?
