    They’ve abstracted away the social element. It takes so much work now to make a friend. After a game ends there’s perhaps a summary screen or lobby, so you can add another player to your friends list, but you have no way of discussing that with them. Anytime I get a friend request, I think, who is this? Why are they friending me

      Half the time a friend request comes just so someone can continue to flame you after the match is over

          I wish this behavior was limited to a single playerbase. I haven’t played league in a million years and this still happens sometimes

          Can’t we all just get along? We’re here to play games darn it

      One of the cool things about lobbies in VR is fist bumping to make friends, it’s a beautiful mechanic
