Hello community, let's have a friendly discussion about the pros and cons of a Voice Over IP system for league of legends and why. Let's start out with the pros of a system like this.


PROS:

  1. You can have a much better and easier system of communicating with your teammates, as much as I like the updates that the ping system I don't feel that it is a good replacement for talking verbally with one another and pings require you to spend time in game that could have been used to hit a CS or something.

  2. You can be more social in game and have a more likely chance to befriend fellow summoners, as it stands now some of the people on my friends list I've never even spoken a word to or seen there face and while it can be argued that that's the beauty of the internet it's also nice to not just sit there in silence for hours on end.

  3. If the pros get to use it then why not the rest of us?

CONS:

  1. Toxic community. We don't need all of the trolls yelling in our ears, raging at us, and blasting horrible music.

This is all of the obvious stuff out of the way, I'd love to hear arguments and opinions for and against having a VOIP system. For me personally I have always seen some of the most negative chatters being perfectly calm on third party VOIPs and visa versa.

CON: No ability to report players who are toxic in voice chat. Or at least, there would be no visible evidence able to be presented in the tribunal cases. It's a free pass for toxic players.

I think the prime example of why not to do it is summed up in two words: XBOX Live.
