Neeko is exactly why we need voice comms.

I think her passive is cool as hell.

I don't think anybody disputes that.

The potential tricks and plays you can make with it are exciting, without a doubt, but there is one thing that puts a damper on things...

...you can't make plays with this spell without coordination.

Just look at the teaser. Ezreal dips in the bush, Neeko disguises and runs out of the bush while Ez hides inside. It's a great play, and one that displays a lot of coordination between the two players.

Now, imagine that happening in solo queue, communicated solely through pings.

You can't, can you?

We don't have a "Hide here!" ping. Any kind of play involving this passive more complicated than "Three Hec's running at Nami at the same time" would be damn near impossible to communicate without spending several seconds typing in chat.

I'm looking forward to watching pros play this champion (not so much in lane; Q/E waveclear sounds boring) and seeing how they use the passive, but I dread seeing her in solo queue because we won't be able to use her passive properly unless everybody in the lobby jumps into a voice call.

Please, Riot.

Give us the option to play with "Party Chat" as on live, but also make "Game Chat" an option.
