It's time that voice chat is implemented

League of legends, after all, is a team based game. Communication would make the game more fun and strategic. You could coordinate splitpushes, objectives, team fights, ganks, etc . . .

Before someone says it would make league less toxic -

. Many other competitive games already have vc (OW/CSGO), . People are less toxic in VC than in chat. Behind that toxic, flamer, is a 9 yo squeaker who doesn't want to embarrass himself. . You could always mute someone / leave vc.

It is something that can be optional. It will greatly benefit those who want it, and do no harm to those who do not.

At least, you could make it so only people with a certain honor level can use it.

EDIT: a lot of people are downvoting this for whatever reason. Let me reiterate: VOICE CHAT IS OPTIONAL. If you get upset over a person insulting you, then maybe voice chat isn't for you and you could disable it.

Can't wait to be called slurs and names for missing my CS, to have broken mic screeches tear through my eardrums, people shouting and raging in both text and voice at the same time, annoying and invasive background noises x5, most people sounding like they're half-dead and in the middle of the decomposition process, and people going haywire the instant a feminine voice appear in the group chat.

Oh boy, am I ready!

Xbox Live disagrees.

we already know this. rito are just fucking holding on to the concept of toxicity as a block to the idea. for whatever fucking reason. like they're scared of soloq being fucking good or something.

tbh their main argument of "it would be too toxic" doesnt even hold up anymore;

they directly contradicted their own ideology once they added the ability to turn off team chat, and to have it opt-in instead. could they have simply done the same for voice chat? there is absolutely no reason at this point for them to not, other then just cause.

Riot really has no way to monitor VC, so if someone, for example, told you to kill yourself, they would get away scott free.

I have three problems with the idea :

People stick to their habits, I don't think that many people will use it, and it might end up like OW where there's just one squeaker speaking or playing music to annoy people.
LoL is probably the most toxic game in the world, that means that a lot of dumbasses will use the system to just flame people instead of communicating, especially because it will be a very good way to avoid getting banned from shit talking in chat so you can freely talk madshit about anyone. And saying "You could disable it" is not a solution, it's like saying "just /mute all". I want to be able to use what the game offers without having to disable anything because some moron is pissing me off.
** Teamates are dumbasses**, If i use vocal chat to try and win and some guys are being r%%%%%s, inting trolling or feeding or whatever gets you angry in league, I won't be able to hide my hate for them, which I can do when I only type in chat.

In conclusion : In any other games ? Yeah sure. In League ? No.

I don't want even more bullshit toxicity in the game just so something like 2% of the playerbase can communicate more. (And most likely shit talk themselves at the first mistake one makes)

my only reasoning for no vc is that even tho it is optional, it just gives dumb people another outlet for flame. Cuz wats stopping some dumb dumb from flaming someone for not going into vc?

Happened all the time when i used to play ranked overwatch...along with other...things.

For me I'd always have it off, so either way I guess I wont be effected.

We can mute ppls text chat and pings. what makes you think ppl wont do the same with voice chat, i knowi would.

i agree with you and if someone is toxic and flaming you can simply mute him and it will make people less toxic for real
