Discord: I checked the dictionary meaning.
Registered but found it totally confusing for me. I think I am old school. Can't teach an old dog new tricks.

The discord channel is cool in theory, but I can’t say that I enjoy it as much as the others.
However when it comes to this official discord, the only use I see is following all of the "Information" category so they appear automatically in your own server. That way you can stay up to date without checking the forum every time.
Also maybe the infographic section since I don't use Twitter, it's going to be easier to find them and add them to my own server.
I can't tell if the recruiting part is nice and will work, I don't deal with that.
The rest is just random discussions, hard to follow cause not structured like the forum. It's like a decent version of global. Which is nice for some. I just don't have any interest in engaging with randoms about which champ is best etc
I'll rather prefer a WhatsApp group.
I complain about the same thing at work. We have network drives, sharepoints, OneNote, etc. All with the goal of having everything in one place, but reaching the inevitable conclusion of everything being splintered across the enterprise.
Here, we now have the forums, X (Twitter), Instagram, I think Facebook still, the official game website, and now a Discord server.
I'll never understand the desire to change just for the sake of changing.
I agree. I find discord very cluttered
Cool for the Discord lovers but in general just too tall an ask to embrace right now.
Also communication via ingame mail is not the greatest sometimes, and people complain that they shouldn't need to come to the forums to be informed, a 3rd source might not be the greatest Remember the Zemo trello board situation.
I like the forums.
As others have stated, the MCOC Discord is like a better moderated Global chat. There's been a few conversations that have substance to them and people go back and forth, but you also have others talking about a completely different thing at the same time, so it gets cluttered. Sure, the "reply" feature helps, since it highlights when someone responds back to you, but it's still so high traffic the times I've been on there.
Other times you can ask something, and someone might not even acknowledge you at all. Then you have "those" that want to spam "anyone want to race with me to see who can become Cavalier quickest??" or "if this post gets 50 likes, I'll do 50 pushups!" and it's like...grow up, Peter Pan.
I still think I like the structure of these forums better, because once a post is made, it stays there, and we can go back and address others replies and keep a discussion going without everything getting lost to the void.
Joined the server.
Observed some toxicity.
Uninstalled.
Life is back to peace, no more chaos.
Close app.
Maybe to give traction to Discord, announcements happening over there first plus some nice graphics.
