The New Chat Restriction in The Feast

[Dimitrii]

This is an excellent opportunity now to change your name so people can't warn teammates or otherwise give pointers on player tendencies since you can't communicate directly anymore lol.

Retreat to spawn and run the clock out when in the lead (towards the end of a match) =P {run away!}

The best thing about this change is that it affects LP.

I'm sure the light party chatlogs were so "toxic"

In my mind it looks like this:
"TEAMMATE YOU ARE SO BAD!!!"
*match ends*
"ok, let's queue again"
*new match*
"KYS WHY DO YOU PLAY??!?!"
*match ends*
"Let's play another!"

How is it? haven't done any ranked today

I did around twently 8vs8 and it's a total disaster.
Tanks taking def buff and in tanking stance the whole match but not picking up any medals.
Healers in some lv1 glamour gear because they forgot to change and you don't know how to tell them.
Nobody attacks 10 stacks players even when they are marked with big white '1'.
I won 70-80% so I don't really complain, but that was a freakshow.

I had an AST take an ATK buff. People mark the tanks with no stacks as target to attack #1 and keep it on all match. People not knowing that you have to pick up metals to win and by the time you hit the chat macro they disappear. And plenty of lopsided 8v8 matches. I had one match even with 0 healers and no one switched (or I'm assuming know that they can swap classes at the start) because guess what...WE CAN'T TELL THEM.

I'm more interested in hearing if anyone has any experience to share in ranked solo queue after the change rather than 8 v 8. 8 v 8 I never take serious and lots of ppl queue to that not giving a fk either way anyway. But solo ranked feast it sounds like anybody not Gold or higher already after the update is s**t out of luck since you will be matched lots of games with new players and unable to give any sort of advice to help them get better.

[TiramisuMacaron]

IMO, this should be the punishment for getting reported too much. If you get a bunch of reports in a day, you should have to use this system. If you don't, you should be able to chat.

This. THIS is what we were trying to tell you would happen, SE.

You have made the Feast absolute chaos. Not toxic players, not new players. YOU DID THIS.

I haven't played in a while, and pretty much just started solo queue again today, as you can see from the screenshot. Think I started at like 150 this morning

It's incredibly frustrating playing now without the use of chat, but I think the worst of it is the bads that don't know that they're even playing bad since no one can tell them/mentor them

One of my FC members is plat ranked and hes been queued all day. His queue timer is at 999:59 lol I guess none of the gold+ want to even try solo queue now
