Riot Pls: Dynamic queue, sandbox, and League 2016

If you want to improve the experience of solo queue vs premade teams I believe the solution is simple. You must create an in-game voice communication system. A major difference between premade teams and your average randomly generated teams is that the premade is almost guaranteed to be linked via external applications like Skype or Curse. Before playing league, (Season 1), I was a huge DOTA enthusiast, and naturally when the WC3 trend died I looked to the most similar games of that time which were League of Legends (LOL), and Heroes of Newearth (HON). The main thing HON had going for them was that they had a built in chat system. This system was even as sophisticated enough to divide your chat options between lanes to minimize unnecessary chat, while leaving the option open to communicate with your team across the map as well. They had the luxury of INSTANT communication. This made the game far more fast paced, and the teamfights much more well coordinated, being that you could far more clearly indicate your intent via mic rather than keyboard. I am sure with all the advancements RIOT has made since the release of LOL you guys can manage to scrape together an interface with a similar design.

I would like to hear some non-cancerous thoughts and opinions please and thank you. If you're here to troll please don't bother.

riot isn't going to do this. they would have to hire people to record the voice chat in every single match, listen to it, try to find out which user said what and who the toxic person was. people would abuse this so hard and toxicity would increase. this would cost riot money and they would get no profit from it.

Although toxicity is an issue within the community, there are still way to punish players for being toxic along the same lines as the chat. As Randomonium commented, when compared with typing to other players, actually talking to other people creates a more tolerable environment. Along the lines of riot having to spend money, yes it would take them time and resources to implement the system, but toxicity monitoring, can be done in the same fashion that it currently is, whereas you allow the community to regulate itself and report those who break the summoner code.

I try to do this with curse voice in ranked games. Surprisingly it usually works well and actually reduces the toxicity between teammates. Hearing the person makes them more human after all and it makes it a lot easier to joke and find common ground.
