hello, for context, I made this post a week or so ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/s/DKNblsUuoy
I am a disabled player who uses a sip puff controller to play the game with my mouth. I cannot type in game so I rely exclusively on pings to communicate to my team mates. Seeing Phreak saying condescendingly “you can just type it out” (view the patch notes video section on pings https://youtu.be/8pxSxtrcB1w?si=CvAwLzWyISG8qIdx @ 1:47:07 timestamp) really left a sour taste in mouth.
This is not only an accessibility nightmare, it is really disheartening and downright rude and ignorant when it comes to disabled players. I’m really sad that the head of the balance team seems to think that everyone who plays is an able bodied person who can type at the speed of light in the middle of a team fight. I’m so sad about these ping changes and the ignorance displayed by the balance team with regard to accessibility and disabled people.
Bot Lane,
Alas, your lane has done little in way of recompense to warrant such aid. Not only has your labor been cut to the bone by stratagem more befitting infants than the infantry you purport to be, but so too do your calls lack anything beyond a countenance of counterplay. I see no way to match blows with an enemy left high and dry despite dire diving, let alone secure capital punishment for such criminal execution.
Perhaps, should a similar situation recur, you might see to it that you avoid such mortal mistakes, andffffqqqqwwwwqqqq-
