Okay so I'm already prepared for the influx of people telling me to just use mic, but this is something that \*was\* in a perfectly fine state and is now in a completely shit state, so bare with me.

As of season 3, I've noticed that the window that the game can lock you out of basic communications (Hello, Acknowledge, Ultimate Charge, Pings, etc) has become DRASTICALLY more punishing. Previously, communication lock would last for about 5 seconds at a time, but whether by intentional change or glitch I have been experiencing total communication lockout for 30 seconds to a minute at a time, with no indicator as to how long it's going to last.

This is absolutely ridiculous. Important communications, such as ultimate charge, or the ability to ping an enemy, are not spam. Not only do I want to be able to tell my teammates there is a flanker when it's important, I want to know when my teammate has seen a flanker themselves. I don't want to get halfway through a team fight before being able to tell my teammates that I have my ult ready.

This is genuinely a pain in the ass to deal with in-game and I need it fixed desperately. Again, I'm unsure if it's intentional, but if it is then I'd humbly ask that whoever made this decision get a grip and recognise that locking us out of integral information for long periods of time helps absolutely nobody.

I need the Devs to fix the communication limit BADLY
