Voice chat would help to Balance some champions IMO

Riot recently started to talk about voice chat and i feel in need to share my opinion I am and was all this time a hardcore player of league and dota, achieving in both game a decent Rank (though i don't know how much 4k mmr is in league rank system)

And the most important thing is that it helps to balance so much heroes in dota2, here let me explain to you

You must know that voice chat is almost never used in lower tiers of the game. All those games i did from 0 to 4k mmr, how much people used voice chat? something in like at best 10% of my games

however, when you watch every single high elo streamers like RTZ SingSong, or AdmiralBulldog you get to see in every single game everyone using the voice chat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nXlmT9s6Kfs

this is an example of a game of Snith (Rank 1 chen in the world), if you're interesting to see how communication works watch it

but why am i telling you this? https://i.gyazo.com/6891b328c64d43d1fffd4dc28d928648.png

Voice chat and communication plays an important part into the balance of the game, take a look and see Io's win rate going from 37% to 49% win rate in high elo after 5k and the reason to this is because Io is one of the most teamplay reliant hero in the game https://i.gyazo.com/6c170f85e6ac026bd16194ad3fe94a2c.png he needs to manage the distance between him and the ally, he needs to position himself and needs his ally to position well to slow a target, he needs to tell his ally to heal him in order to heal the ally more

and there are so much examples like Oracle who can single handle lose the game if he doesn't play on the same note than his ally

So how is this related to league? TahmKench is one of the most picked support in pro, his kit is so fcking great as a support and his W is so broken. However he has 46% win rate in soloq and 47%/48% in diamond and no one picks him because of the lack of communication he's so bad in solo queue even in high elo that i see some people suggesting buffs when he's already so strong

Voice chat would allow tahm kench to be infinitly better in high elo as people in high elo uses a lot more the voice chat than lower elo

And it isn't only tahm kench

MM wouldn't need a premade anymore to play Mordekaiser ADC Shen would become stronger in solo queue as communication becomes better

all of this makes the balance between soloq/lcs way easier

just my 2 cents

It would also gut Nocturne unless his ult turned voice chat off.

Which would be cool.

that would be a terrible idea, does nocturne ult do that in pro?

No and yet nocturne used to be meta in season 2

Voice chat would just make Riot looking at nocturne to bring him back both in competitive and regular play

People would just use Teamspeak or skype then too

Yeah but you have to friend people for that.

Yes, nothing like a bit of high-pitched yelling from guys who barely had their change-of-voice, when they tell others what they intend to do with their mothers.

I think I shall treat League VoIP same as I do the Voicechat in Overwatch:

Turn it off.

Turn it off.

No one forced you specially to use it

From all the streams i watched voice chat doesn't bring any harm in high elo and i only care about high elo...

if low elo has problems with it they can disable it and nothing would change

I made it to Plat and low Dia without Voicechat, I will survive without it in the future I think.

And about the maturity of people in Dia...

...well lets face it, we all know they are nothing better.

this isn't about you this is about the balance of champions in solo queue and how it's hard to do it when riot wants to balance for everyone

voice chat still shouldn't exist unless it adds another mute button to only mute voice chat
