Title says it all, Look at CSGO and Dota2, they all have their own form of dynamic queue, but a built in voice chat for solos to communicate with. Sure the premade has the advantage of knowing each other, but the solos also gain access to that increased level of communication. Let's face it, not everyone wants/has curse voice, skype etc. Just please add an individual mute button for screamers lol.

Best Boop NA2 votesProblem is that their are people, like myself, which don't want to participate in voice chat. The primary reason I don't play dota is because I do not like having to listen to randoms, and I was also harassed when I didn't use it. A voice chat system could work, but only if it is designed in a way to allow people not choose not to use it without fear of retaliation.

Riot is never going to officially support Voice chat, until they can regulate it. And you really can't regulate it the same way you can with text chat. (you can't censor profanity in the same way.) And even if with Text chat, the ability to mute a conversation is no excuse for allowing toxicity.
The only way I could imagine, they supporting it is if it was entirely opt in. Yet like you said, you'll get bashed for not using it. And it creates a bigger divide, cause the people who use voice chat, are likely to neglect text chat.

Well Valve isn't really able to regulate their voice chat either, and from playing games on there I do not really see an issue with not being able to regulate it, people being toxic is not common as people would think in ranked csgo games. You are right that theres no excuse to be toxic even with a mute button, however I do feel that there is a point where people who play online multiplayer games need to accept the fact that there are shitty people out there, and you need to just ignore them. Which can be almost guranteed with a voice mute button.
Also in CSGO at least, it isn't hard for me at least to notice when people are typing commands into the text chat or using their variations of pings which are keystrokes for where the enemies are located or doing, assuming they are not using the mic.
To add to the ignoring textchat. Most of the games I play nowadays the only time I am able to communicate through textchat is when I'm either dead (and probably being a shitter about it), walking to the next jungle camp, or have down time after a kill or teamfight. You aren't really going to be noticing the textchat while fighting unless you are being pinged at during a fight or another intense moment anyway.

This.
Fovere1 votesvoice chat would help certain aspects of disparity but its not going to fix most of the DQ issues
Johr Dinh1 votesIMO it's one of 2 things that will fix the issue. I think voice comms should be in any ranked playlist to minimize the unfair teamwork imbalance, and I think there should be a Ranked 1's Solo Queue Ladder, and a Ranked 2/3/5's Dynamic Ladder. I get they wanna make it easy on groups of people who can only find 4 to play with, but how often does that happen in comparison to how many people wanna play alone. I'm gonna put my money on there being more solo queue players than groups of 4. This will give solo queue players their perfect playlist, and people who can find 2/3/5 people can have their playlist with friends or making the climb easier/etc. I'd assume with how many new people they've brought into playing ranked playlist, just adding groups of 2 and 3 to the 5's playlist would be enough to increase the population in there a decent enough amount, would it not?
Queen Hue1 votesI'm pretty sure there would be more raging. Not everyone is proper. As long as its not forced like in overwatch where you have the choice to join the channel it might be okay. I have said glhf in all chat and have gotton' many negative things said. For younger males who haven't hit puberty yet they get made fun of. Women also get made fun of. I can count of multiple occasions where I've been called trash or they dodged because I'm female. I now just mute everyone most of the time because of this. Even if you don't fall into this category other people have. Also People tilt easily, 'harrassing a player after making a mistake causes them to be worse.' I for one would probably afk if this was forced onto me, or just switch to another game no matter how much I love this game.
SirPurrr1 votesYes, voice chat with randoms will even the playing field with those who've played many games together and developed a game plan. That makes sense! ...
Also, this game tends to be more strategically oriented than shooters so it's hardly a viable comparison.
