additions to CC Quick Chat

Lukewarm take, having played pvp games religiously for 10+ years, I think SE not having in game chat is probably less white and black as people make it out to be. A… pretty major portion of pvp chat tends to be dedicated to angry things that have nothing to do with strategizing.

There’s probably a lot of mostly PvE players who are having pipe dreams about enlightening their team with their godly strategizing, having them follow your lead, and suddenly winning games. This almost never happens in reality.

What happens is that the guy you think is throwing the game also thinks you’re throwing the game, they’ll let you know just as strongly as you let them know, and the team will probably lose even harder from both of you afking to yell at each other and tilting the rest of your team. You’ll probably find out 1000 games later when you’re top whatever % that you were both wrong at the time, and that it was a complete waste of time even engaging in that squabble in hindsight.

That’s how chat usually tends to go. It’s going to be as much getting flamed for not playing dragoon 5 seconds into the match as it is any legitimate strategizing.
