In-Game Mic Chat
What do people think of having an in-game mic toggle on/off, so players can communicate without typing?
In the majority of games that I play, certain issues consistently arise:
- I have difficulty communicating effectively with my team, since typing takes too long.
- Players are toxic, and either flame or troll as a response to things not going their way.
- Players AFK, either due to negative attitudes, or sometimes because of lag (this is of course unavoidable).
I believe that most of these issues can be dealt with far more effectively with a chat system similar to that in Counter Strike, whereby you hold a button to activate your mic.
The way League has headed, winning games is becoming more and more team-orientated, and effective communication is an increasingly vital tool. It is easier to calm people down/reassure them over mic. People are also less likely to be abusive if they can hear someone else's voice at the other end.
Is this a viable option to help improve the game, and should it be introduced maybe for Season 6?
