Chat Filter

Is there a way to deactivate this brainless #########. First of all I do not need a supervisior who decides what I can read or not. I am an adult and can decide myself If i want to give a ######### or not.

Second it is very badly adjusted, it filters every second common word in german and it is impossible to chat with fellows.

    At first I was indifferent to the filter, but in my experience, it has filtered out the words "sky, Meg, hook, jay, chat, video, mobile", and I forget what else. It's frustrating. The only plus side is seeing how creative people are getting to be salty, but that's not worth it

    So far, the chat filter has hampered my ability to converse with other players near-constantly, censored just as many random strings of words as it has swears if not more, convinced several people I was insulting them when I was just trying to talk or even compliment them, and has not censored anyone insulting me in post-game chat. Which is the heart of the problem - trying to ban mean words is like squirrel-proofing a bird feeder. The kinds of people whose bread and butter is aggrieving other players get so familiar with the restrictions that they know exactly what they can get away with; it's the players who aren't constantly being bad sports that get tripped up by the filter.

    That is what I mean, while I do not really care if someone is salty post game. They are just embarassing themselves, like unsporting was something anyone would find funny and nothing every normal person looks down to. *roll eyes*

    When they really want to do something against toxicity than fix perma *clicky clicky* and teabag. Like make it like you dropped down from somewhere after htting crouch two times in a second, before you can sprint again. the game is stressful and this is building the frustration you are gonna see endgame chat.
