Social TFT

Normally TFT isn't a social game, and people will flame you if you talk in TFT chat. That is already fairly ridiculous given the amount of free time you have in TFT.

But this one game I was playing normals with a Riot member. I greeted them and asked about his or her job and they told me they were a data engineer. I asked what a data engineer is and they told me they don't want to talk and want to focus on the game and to message them in Twitter. I said okay, but in the back of my mind I was thinking "well this is only the creep rounds. surely it doesn't require that much focus." I know that people have the right to silence, but dangit I kind of expected a riot member to feel obligated to the community, and it was only the creep round, know what I mean?

And to send me to Twitter, they want the opportunity to only reply to me after a few hours or something. Very good contact, right?

It also set the tone for the whole game. The last thing was said, I asked "is this on patch 9.24b?" Literally no one answered me haahaaa. I just had to look at the unit stats to see if they had changed, and they did.

So I guess the whole point of this: the TFT community is actually kind of bad?? I think it only relies on streamers to keep it afloat a little bit. :x

I know a few people who play TFT and always use the creep-rounds to the full extent - checking out other teammates, memorizing certain builds, building a plan, adjusting this and that, trying to counter-build things and so on. So why shouldn't them be allowed to use their time aswell?

Just because you find these rounds trivial doesn't mean they share this belief. Besides that I find it quite harsh to imply the bolded part about them - like what? They wanna spend some time in LoL and don't need to be in contact with everyone who feels obligated that they owe them attention.

And to send me to Twitter, they want the opportunity to only reply to me after a few hours or something. Very good contact, right?

Take a big guess how many people contact them over Twitter and now rethink if you truly wanna complain about the time they took/take to reply.

Sorry Toolmaker but this OP of yours make you seem a bit entitled.
