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.
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.
