Chat in Loading Screen

Is there a technical reason why we can't chat with our allies during the loading screen? I personally feel that adding in this functionality, if possible, would have a number of benefits:

  1. Additional time to plan. Sometimes you just can't get to everything in champ select, and if you're not coordinated at the start, but you want to do something like invade, it can put you at a distinct disadvantage.
  2. Additional time to get to know your teammates. Having everybody on the same page is generally condusive to a good game.
  3. Something to do during the loading screen without alt-tabbing out. Sometimes loading times are quite long - I'd love to be able to do something other than go browse GD :P

Cheers, Hyrum Graff

Not a bad idea at all, I see a lot of benefit in something like this, and I believe it would amplify the social part of the game. Looking forward to hearing what riot has to say about this! :D

I would personally love to know if there is a technical limitation to this or not. If there isn't one, this is something that DEFINITELY should be added.
