Is there any plans for some form of voice chat system being implimented?

It currently is an unfair outside advantage which heavily impacts the game. But if league had its own, that would remove some of the issues caused by it. Players would be able to join a call if they choose to at champion picks/ bans. And a mute option would be allowed if you wanted to not hear a tited teammate for example. Players would automatically be removed from the general call when the return to the main home screen after a game. A premade call option could also exist where you wouldn't leave the call unless you left the premade. Since it would be provided, anyone who does not use it would have to accept that they may lose because they gave themselves a handicap.

Riot would never Officially support it without a way to regulate the chat, which is pretty hard to do compared to text chat. (And like text chat, Riot won't take "Just mute them" as a solution.) Not to mention it creates a divide, as not everyone will want to use the voice chat. And people using voice chat won't likely use text chat, just leads to greater disconnect.

But even if you put all that aside, Riot doesn't even need to implement their own VoiP. It would be easy enough for them to piggyback on current 3rd parrty voice chats like Curse voice or skype.

But not providing anything is still hurting the basis of the game's balance. It is near impossible to use the chat during fights while speaking is not an issue. Pings can be unclear with details and they can sometimes just go unnoticed if you are not aware or looking for them (though it is a good habit to get into).

Also I am terrible with my mouse movements and cannot ping when I'm in the middle of fighting. It's hard for me to talk when I'm fighting but at least I can easier than pinging which doesn't go into much detail compared to voice chat.
