Is less communication better? in General Discussion
kanye went to uni

    So from my recent games that were close, I think I've won more of them when people in the team talked less. The thing is, unless there is some set-up required (eg. 'bait them so I can RP', etc), I don't think talking at teammates helps that much. Giving item build advice all too often just makes you sound like a pretentious and patronizing fuck, and most of the time you're probably telling them what they already know. Flaming obviously never helps. I think the best games I've had were games where people usually just used the chat wheel (miss calls, rosh time, etc).

    What do other people think?

          depends on the communication

          usually its

          "fk you noob"

          so yeah, in that situation which happens all too frequently, saying nothing is better :/

            People are friendly in China and we always say "my mistake" when we make a mistake (well like half of us) so communication is good for us

            It sometimes works badly though, like in my last Mirana game. I was like damn this team ain't gonna get nowhere if the enemy builds bkb and I started to build a deso. Then I was like oh NP are you gonna deso cause we need physical dps and he was like yeah so I panicked and built a bkb instead. In the end we couldn't focus down Alch at all.

            But most times it should work providing these little random mistakes, on the basis you don't start flaming each other randomly.

              I find teams that communicate as early as character select(and aren't just irritating/annoying) to be the games I have my best matches in.

                no communication is most important thing is the game

                but that communication has to be good one not just random shit

                  no commas make everything very confusing
