why voice chat is a bad idea riot

SecondAirbane··1 votes·313 views

if you think about it some people dont want to hear some dumbass talking to them the whole game can you consider would you be able to mute somebodies voice chat? like you can mute somebodies in game typing chat some people dont like talking at all through the match would you be able to turn off voice chat option? if you cant mute voice chat or turn it off for people who dont like it then it'd be a bad idea but if you can do both those then it'd be a decent idea

Uhm. Did I miss an announcement or something? As far as I know they are still against voice chat and have no plans to implement it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

there was a thing about ask riot so i was saying why voice chat is a bad idea before they begin to decide

I think you're safe man. I don't think riot has changed their stance regarding voice chat.

They were never "against" it, per se. They don't want to implement it in a way that leaves the same obvious problems inherent to voice chat in other games, and it's just not a priority.

I see. I remember vaguely them talking a bunch about with the whole curse fiasco a few years ago and was left with the impression they didn't want to add it because of the issues inherit in voice chat.

I may have misunderstood.

Curse Voice was an issue because it automatically made people join it without prompt, iirc. It had jungle timers too but that's not what we're talking about of course (both issues were resolved).

Huh, didn't realize it made people join automatically. That's incredibly awful feeling.

I'll still be fine with voice chat BUT only if i can manually select whether i hear them or not ( Gotta toggle VOICE CHAT = TRUE ) in options menu

they need dto implement it. Game does go a lot smoother if you can talk to the other players. Most ppl that i've encountered dont mind using voice in game. The problem is that while you're in champ select its damn near impossible to get 4 other ppl's info for whichever 3rd party vioce chat that you want to use and some ppl dont have sykpe accounts or curse or whatever. I do feel that they would have to include the ability to mute players on the vi=oice as well just in case. I mean if Riot was concerned about dynamic que and facing premades that are in voice this would be a fucking simple way to keep the integrity of the game. I wouldnt mind the 4 or 5 man premades so much if i could at least talk and formulate some kind of strategy and effort from the solo's on my team. Then at least maybe some of the whinning could stop. LOl who am i kiding ppl well never stop complaining about something.
