Voice Chat for league

TheBoyal··2 votes·443 views

Overwatch, Csgo , Dota 2, all good game about joining each other hand to defeat the enemy. If league all about working together to using your teamwork to outplay your opponent, why don't we have voice chat so that we can understand our teammate better. Other games have done that, and look how much easier our game play would be. Imagine you focusing on farming mid, top just saw the enemy jg, so rather using the annoying ping or spent 2-5's to put it in chat, would it be way more easier just pressing one button to talk to them?

*Note : I understand that there other program for voice chat like curse, discord , teamspeak, but you can't do that in solo queue.

What more voice chat bring to game is fun, something this game have lost since the "tank' meta. When i was playing csgo, and there was a 1v5 clutch happened in the game, but he died in a dumb way fight grenade himself, people would play songs like "dear sister' for comedic effect. My point is voice chat can light up the mood of the game, rather the same old toxic people the furious spent 30s of the game to chat with a feeding adc about how he think he better than him. For those people that will say, " but what if they being annoying or playing songs all the time?" Well..... YOU HAVE THE OPTION TO MUTE THEM! If you going to spent 30m playing a game with them you might as well do that.

...Except that people still won't be able to get it around their thick skulls the ability to mute them even though they are toxic. They will probably just downvote this thread instead rofl. The funny thing is some people even complain about premades in Dynamic Queue having the ability to communicate better with voice chat and yet are still against the idea of adding voice chat in League due to people being toxic and such.

It's because not everyone likes to voice chat with others. A lot of competitive lol players are very introvert and prefer to play on their own with random players with minimal contact. Riot underestimated this when they went for dynamic queue. That being said, it might be better for the gaming community if there were more incentives to communicate with others through voice. It really helps communication skills which is important in your professional life.

Another thing is that in Europe for example people speak many different languages and I believe that sadly not everyone understands english very well. You'd be at an even bigger disadvantage when you have someone who doesn't speak the common tongue. The Ping system for example automatically translates it/uses universal signs. I don't know how much of an issue this is in other games, just throwing it out. Maybe I overestimate the situation here.

All in all, I have grown up playing computer games without voice chatting and I would probably feel awkward making the switch, but I think voice chat has its benefits inside and outside of the game. If Riot would implement this, I'd probably use it, but I'm too lazy to go look for a third party chat program and take the efforts to install and get used to it.

I'd rather mainline drano.
