I think we should get voice chat for obviously better communications, why haven't they done it yet?

Search "toxicity in overwatch" and you will see why I don't want it. I don't care to listen to a bunch of whiners yelling over each other while at the same time the enemy team has the potential to have better communication since I will have my entire team muted. Takes the solo out of solo queue.

the fear of toxicity

personally though I would say to just have it slightly monitored, but have it disabled by default. at least it wont tilt you unless you opted into it. though when I'm using discord with randos they constrain themselves much more then when I see them type, so I can imagine in game VC wont be too much different.

The amount of toxicity in the game would make it a terrible addition.

Agreed. I really don't need to hear about what my mom did last night from a 12 year old.

and cut off communication you otherwise would have had in text/pings.

This is why when I 4 man if the 5th doesn't play around us, we'll play around him, even if we think his decisions suck. It's more conductive to winning.

Just as you could in text chat but most people don't do that, they just post about it on the boards as I've seen.

we already have that for our current chat system. you can just take a quick trip to the land of player behavior and see how well that's working.

Voice chat is also 100x harder to moderate.

Just like how you could always just invite people to party.

In Dota 2 it works just fine dude. It actually reduces toxicity because people now know that they could hear someones voice retaliate on the other end. I wouldn't see a difference at all in League.

Cz you're just gonna use it to shit-talk people. Mute them? Most players can't even use the mute function for normal chat.

now hold up, shit talk?

Don't need to pretend. Maybe you won't, but most people would take advantage of it.

I would downvote this comment because apparently people don't like a suggestion

Well. Have to break it to ya buddy, but you can't just barge in here, write some random suggestion that you had in a stroke of genius and then expect everyone to agree with you.

Everyone has different opinions. It is neither you nor I who decide which is the better one.

It's the majority that does.

Also, this idea is as old as League itself, people just don't want it.
