Recommended Quick Chat

Players can set up their Quick Chat before entering game by going into Settings (In the top right) in the menu, then Quick Chat. The quick chat is really important when it comes to team game where you need communication between each other. In the game, you need your teammates to do everything. You can't solo-carry 1v5 by your own, admit it. Try to give commands and shotcalling your team into taking jungle objectives, ganks or pushing towers. It takes a long time to type in chat due to mobile and you might die while you are typing. Here's the recommended Quick Chat I would use in every game.

Enemies Missing! - It's very useful to let your team know when your enemy laner has gone missing, they could be planning to invade jungle or gank your allies. Letting them know first might help them to fall back than overextending.

On my way to gank. - People do make mistakes, most people don't pay too much attention to the map. Let them know that you are on the way to gank so they could follow up at an appropriate speed.

Watch the jungle! - There are many aggressive junglers in the game who might steal your team's jungle monsters in the early game. Players always walked into their lanes without guarding the jungle. It might help sometimes, if they are willing to listen.

Let me get the buff. - You'll probably need sage/might buff whenever you are a carry. Sometimes your other teammates don't need it at all. If you believe in yourself that the buff will help you more than your allies, go ahead.

Don't feed the enemies! - Well, every MOBA games there are always feeders. Nothing much you can do about it, just quick chat and hope for the best.

Attack the Abyssal Dragon! - One of the important objectives in the early-mid game. Let your team know that you want to secure the Abyssal Dragon. They will group up and aid you. Doing alone is always risky.

Attack the Dark Slayer! - Important objective to have in the mid-late game. Know your timing when to get attack the Dark Slayer and request your team for help!

Taunt - That all you got?

Don't forget to use Attack,Rally and Retreat commands as well. It will help your team to understand what you are about to do. Feel free to check around the different categories of Quick Chat. There are Defense, Attack and Misc. but by far, these quick chat messages are the most useful in my opinion which helps me a lot with the games I've played.
