    Yo same. It’s truly amazing. I’ve had great effect with it in League of Legends. I’m sure this applies to other games, but in League, it’s a good rule of thumb that the whole team committing to the wrong play is better than half the team committing to the right play. So if you and your pal disagree with the call, but all three other players are going, you should go as well.

    But nobody has time to type all that right before a teamfight. So. “Apes together strong.”

      Yeah, great for lobbies like that. Can’t think of a more effective, quick to type thing you could dump in chat.

      I’ve deployed it in real life too and watched a bunch of awkward 20-somethings go from nothing but occasional stressed sniping at each other to making “ooo ooo aaa aaa” noises while throwing themselves back into the job at hand. Truly a sight to behold.

      Most of my use has been in games though, where I’ve accidentally become team parent to far too many groups and had to get a bunch of maladjusted shut ins back in the right mind set before a tournament or whatever.
