Suggestion: Quick Chat

I couldn't find the suggestion section of the boards so I'll just create a discussion. Recently I was playing with a friend that was chat banned for 20 games or so, though you get banned from chat for being rude, you shouldn't be forced to have a limit of 5 message per (whatever the time limit is) without being able to tell your teammates things that could give you a tactical advantage. What I'm saying here in interpreting a "Quick Chat" system where the Chat Banned player would be able to say common phrases to help his team bring in the Victory and when they do bring it in they should have the right to say GG, though they are only able to use "Quick Chat" every 15 seconds so they aren't able to spam messages via "Quick Chat" I understand the players are Chat banned for a reason but being Chat Banned can really cripple games.

Sounds like a good idea but if it had more options those dont really help you in game. for example "may i have blue" " i'm stuck under tower may you help" "can you cover lane i have to back" just stuff that will help you in lane. sounds like a great idea but that doesn't help unless it's late game

The idea could use some refinement (such as only allowing GG after you see the enemy surrender vote or after one/both nexus towers have fallen), but honestly, that sounds like a fantastic idea. I've never been chat restricted, but I am a slow typer and would like this to communicate faster.

I know this has nothing to do with MOBA's,They could just take the QC idea from RuneScape or any other MMO ever and adapt it for MOBA play. Hell, even customer service agents for online business chat at places like Verizon, AT&T, etc have half-decent QC Jump-Lists that make it easy to communicate with text without having to stop what you are doing.

Make it hotkey-able to where each menu is bound to a letter in chat, so you could get to 9 menu's in and say something like "They have a lot of AD, we should buy some armor" or "Mid is ahead, be careful of roaming" by just typing [enter] XDRTY or [Enter] ASOUE. Much faster than typing once you memorize the lists and orders, assuming you can't customize them.
