Chat window/room during game loading

Little idea to make the time go faster while waiting for people who loads forever, it would be cool if there was an inter-team chat window/room during the game loading (like the one in the game) so you can discuss strategy with your teammates or learn to know your opponent, or simply having fun while the slowest computer/toaster loads the game.

What you guys think?

chat for loading screaans, yes plz. so good for that moment everyone stops loading and you think your comp just froze x.x. plus the strategizing is extremely good for that time. Streamers will also get a decent reason for people to subscribe to them because this is the time they run ads, so ppl that wanna see whats going on would be more willing to pay them. only downside is that it would demand more on the servers, and potentially make people with "toaster" computers take longer to load, but definately an idea that i would like to see happen

I was thinking of this as well before. It would make all those who want to invade actually communicate with their team and have a more planned out route or idea of what's happening so everyone can buy quick and not run off and die. You can also just talk general teamfighting as well. I see plenty of reasons to do this and not really any to not incorporate this.

This would be really handy, especially for like strategizing what to do in the early phase of the game.

That would be a good idea.

But that may make slow computers load even slower because they need to update the chat while loading the necessary files for the game...

I don't think it shouldn't be that big of a problem though, I don't think chats are that resource intensive.

RIOT PLEASE.

Another reason this would be a great idea is that people don't like sitting watching loading screens..so they don't, and you end up with people afk on game start that went to do something else for a few minutes assuming everyone was running a toaster. Give them something to do and they will be ready when the game starts.

I agree completely. I use Skype but not everyone does. Some people refuse and it is almost impossible to get everyone in the same game on Skype. When playing draft everyone is so focused on bans and spots that little time is spent on strategy which leads to early game confusion if the junglier for instance wants to invade. It would be nice to have the chat option for loading screens!
