Requesting Voice-Macro chat alternative

Basically the idea is to consolidate and convey in-game actions by you, so you can coordinate better, and more easily with your team.

It breaks down like this.

-Press Macro-assigned key. (I'll use V for example); keyboard does not control champion, like in chat, until ESC or ENTER is pressed. -[V] breaks into on-screen simple-action assigned key categories such as [A]attack-[D]defend-[M]move- [W]ward, etc. -Pressing those keys would then open-up subcategories that would be specific choices such as; [V]->[F]Focus-> [A]->Enemy AD Carry [V]->[G]Gank-> [M]->Enemy Mid-lane. [V]->[D]Defend-> [B]->Base. [V]->[W]Ward-> [D]->Dragon Of course, there would be a multitude of combinations, but they are very easy to learn because the idea behind the process is simplicity. -Lastly, finishing the sequence will cause your champion to voice the message in-game for allies to hear, as well as appear in team chat.

TL;DR--- Press a few buttons to hear sounds.

I think Riot should add something like this in the future. I understand pings function very similarly, but in many situations pinging simply lacks the clarity that voice macros don't, especially in lower divisions.

I also believe this would be a great step forward in Riot's continued delayed voice-chat promises because voice-macros give them a way around third-party conflicts, and won't take much effort to add into the client code aside from paying a few voice-actors to record some sound files, and their programers to add them into the client.

Let me know what you guys think!

They can just add voice chat and it would save alot of time and trouble.
