Curse Voice - Implementing In Game Voice Chat On A Per Game Basis

Hey all,

I just came across Curse Voice which is currently still in beta testing and thought that it would be a really nice fill in voice chat client for league so I wanted to hear what you guys all think about it.

In a nutshell, curse voice is pretty much like any voice chat client you guys have ever used, but what really caught my eye was that they have an easy URL sharing method in which players can just share a URL to connect to the same chat session. I thought that this functionality would fit perfectly on a game per game basis where hopefully, if this idea actually caught on with the community, during champion select, a player (maybe 1st person in the team) would be responsible for giving out the URL for the rest of the team to use for the duration of the game. And of course once the game ended, the link would be discarded and the cycle would start fresh for a new game.

The reason why I thought to bring this up is because I feel that since communication plays such a key role in any sort of team game, limiting that communication to typing when playing solo really hinders smooth gameplay, and is probably a reason for cases of rage quits, unnecessary deaths, etc. I felt that with this easy voice chat, it would really improve the game experience at all levels of play when solo queuing, or even when playing with friends, but not at that full 5 man team.

In essence, I just wanted to share this cool service that I found in hopes of the community also thinking it was cool, to help improve the state of communication. All feedback is appreciated and encouraged!

I think any third party communication software is useless to people that just play soloqueue. I wish Riot would just partner with someone and officially add voice chat to the game.

Based on your account level, I assume you're fairly new to the game, so I won't give you too hard of a time here. But Curse Voice has been discussed at extreme length on the forums since it entered beta. Pretty much everybody that's been around the forums for the last 6 months or so is fully aware of the program.

The last thing in the world I want is to actually talk to the other people playing solo que with me, typing is plenty thanks. All the pro games and streams Ive watched, they never talk, they RARELY say fuck all, if they talk at all its to adress something they are doing in game, for the people watching on stream. Good players dont need to chat away, the game is not that complicated, Im sure many good games have been played with no voice chat whatsoever. To me it would make the games WAY worse raging would be increased massively, and be miserable awful to deal with. Who wants some zit encrusted teen screaming in ther ear about how they just got gankedf for the fifth time in a row, doing the same stupid thing again and again, and you get a earfull of it! Ya, Ill pass thanks. PS: Curse Voice suks BTW.
