Why would you ever use a stratagem slot on this glorified weedwacker. “Anti Tank” my ass. A whole stratagem slot to handle at MOST an Alpha Commander. Straight poop from a butt of a weapon. You’re vulnerable when attacking with it because it’s two handed and you’re near stationary while actually hitting something. It has SLIGHTLY more range than the average bug.

Why would you even breathe in the direction of this weapon when the Siegehammer exists? Everything that the chainsaw can fight can be fought with the flag WITH A SHIELD AND MORE RANGE.

This weapon will only ever be useful if it was used to shave Eagle 1

I’ve been playing LoL for over a decade now (which is over half my lifespan) and have experienced and even used to participate in the toxic culture of the game. Being a jungle main, I often have to mute most communication tools because people abuse them in an attempt to tilt me or others. Riot has tried and (more often than not) failed to address the issue in a way that doesn’t negatively impact the gameplay experience. They have definitely made steps in the right direction but this is a problem they themselves created because for the first 10 or so years of the games life, they did little to nothing about toxicity.

That being said, I think the addition of quick-chats (somewhat similar to what Wild Rift has) could be a great option to maintain communication in a way that can’t be as easily manipulated into toxicity as pings can be.

I think having it set up so someone can mute pings, chats, AND/OR quickchats would allow players who want avoid toxicity to do that while also being able to reliably communicate with teammates.

I’ve been thinking about this for a minute and would love to hear any feedback on the matter

Edit: For clarity, when I say quick chats I mean preset call outs or basic communication created by riot that can be bound to a communication tool.
For (shitty) examples: “We’re behind in gold, let’s play safe!” “Let’s focus on farming!” “I need to reset!”

Being written by Riot will avoid toxicity or passive aggressive tones and making them unspammable will fix issues that pings have.

My rank reset to Plat and I’ve finally gotten motivation to play the game again so I’ve been ranking up. I’ve been one tricking Shyv JG and my biggest problem so far is my team Inting and/or mental booming before I can even get any meaningful power spike.

I often communicate that early game is a weak stage of the game for me and I’ll be trying to get my power spikes ASAP (lvl 6 and first item), but it never seems to matter. I’ll even track the enemy jungles movements but my warnings simply aren’t enough to save them. If I’m not babysitting EVERYONE, SOMEONE is guaranteed to int. It’s so mentally taxing.

I know it’s Plat-Diamond so I’m probably shit out of luck but any advice would be appreciated.
