Is it time to implement voice chat?

The reason why people are complaining about vsing pre-mades is because they have the advantage of using voice chat. Is it time for league of Legends to implement voice-chat so they can stop the hate?

Riot wont add voice chat because it'll be easier for people to be toxic without the risk of getting punished.

And, even if they did make it so the voice chat was recorded, Riot doesn't have the time to sit there and listen to hundreds, no thousands, of games a day when someone is reported for "saying fck me voice chat".

With the major impact to Toxicity that Dynamic Queue has made, I do believe it's time for Riot to revisit the 'Toxicity of Voice Chat'.

The point is, League was just way more toxic then... so OF COURSE Voice would be Toxic. We are stepping away from Toxic Players, letting them know it's not acceptable and choosing to Queue with decent human beings instead... so in that environment Voice Chat would also show a similar decline in Toxicity.

No offense, but I've played with people who are nice and friendly in the in-game chat but once you have them on voice they're swearing like sailors over one death and complaining about teammates.

Some people learned their lesson, don't type if you're just gonna be toxic. But being able to use their own voice is a different story.

None taken, and that is true. Some people have done well to keep it off the Rift, but would absolutely use Voice.

I just like to think with the improvements in Toxicity that we can move forward as a Community and open up Voice without so much Toxicity.

God no. I play games on the PS4 and voice chat is next to useless, even in team games. The last thing I need is to hear the incessant background noise of some kid's parents yelling at him to get his room clean or some such nonsense, the unfathomable inability for some people to shut off their mics when they're eating/blasting music/or having a conversation with someone IRL, or some jackass who's decided to take it upon themselves to dictate what should happen and proceed to scream at anyone who doesn't listen to his "strategy." So no, voice chat wouldn't help this game at all. Knowing how to play your champion and having avid map awareness goes a long way to actually doing good. No amount of communication will help you win if you don't have skill.

Absolutely no voice chat, please no. I don't need tilted children yelling constantly, swearing at someone for one mistake or not listening to them or eating on mic or having IRL conversations on mic or telling people stupid "jokes" all the time and not shutting up...the list goes on and on and I am certain it'll make the games so much less enjoyable for everyone

Okay... but if the idea is we choose not to, can we really be upset that some do Chat and do so effectively?

It's a common point (well, not a good point, but they try to use it) against Dynamic Queue is the advantage of Voice Chat. Often they fall back on 'No Client Based Voice Chat' as to why it isn't fair.
