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.

    I play with the chat disabled as 90% of the community are extremely toxic people that rely on insulting everytime something goes wrong in a game. So without chat and now with the horrible ping change I literally can’t communicate anymore, gg

    Come on man, I think every thing Preak said is wrong. Removing communication tools is always wrong.

    With that said, dude you aren’t even in the 1% you are the .00001% and I truly can’t imagine how tough your life is and how tough gaming in general is.

    With that said they can’t cater the game to you, or people with disabilities. The game in itself shouldn’t really be accessible to people in your condition and even though that sucks you have to understand why.

    Phreak is a good natured person who can make mistakes. I think if he sees this post or is brought awareness about the subject, he would do his best to accommodate. He genuinely cares about this game.

      xD

      Massive amounts of protesting went out against ping changes and riot shat on all of them, in their face even.

      And now tehy are planning to go even further.

      I believe we have seen Phreak’s real face in the video where he explained “you type” in that rude and iffending way.

      Unless this is a satire which I can never recognise on the internet.

    Make it easy to mute pings/chat and stop policing it outside of saying the n-word. Or just remove chat completely. Work on what actually makes the games tilting and causes toxicity. If I have to play a third game in a row with Kayle top and ASol mid getting stomped, and their laners now perma in my jungle, I am going to get toxic. Sorry.

    In their eyes you are just the casuality for their ego to dominate the game.

    Pings chnages should be reverted to OG form asap.
