Tonight after a hard fought battle I was asked how come the game message showed "Bull Frog has killed Bull Frog" My ATTEMPTED reply was "I overheated like a noob" but the chat system had other plans. It cut off my entire reply except for the last word which it then proceeded to spam several times in all chat. Looked something like this:

Player Y: How did Bull kill himself ?
Bull Frog: noob
Player X : Dude are you angry for some reason?
Bull Frog: noob
Bull Frog: noob
Player Z: I don't know what your problem is...

Normally I would chalk it up to lag but as I tried to explain myself following this, I noticed that nothing I typed showed up in chat unless it was 3 letters or less. This situation did not repeat itself during ther next game thankfully.

It's not the first time this has happend this week but this one made me look like some ******.

My appologies for anyone the chat system made me offend. Even though this is just a game I try to be respectfull of others and this type of abrassive behavior is not the reputation I want to carry around.

UPDATE: This seems to happen after the game locks up and I use the alt-tab out and back again trick to fix it.

Often when I submit messages just before the chat windows changes (pre/ingame/death/post) it will often double post or split my message across multiple lines. For example I would say "GG Well Played" and the output would be "GG Well P" new line "layed".
Not sure if I'm the only person in the game to see this though, or whether what I see also shows up for other players.

I sorta thought you were talking about the other much more serious bug.

I find when chating at the end of the match, it will often take private team/lance chat and double it up, but this time in the general chat instead.


Suddenly "they were really really awful" gets broadcast far and wide.
