Team Chat without being grouped.

As you know, riot has put into effect the ''Lobby voice chat''. They should honestly just make it for everyone in your team, at least for Solo/Duo ranked games. Communication is very important in a game and from 8 years of experience in this game, you lose a lot more games because no one knows what the other players want to do.

Seeing as you would still be able to mute the toxic players and turn up or down players with louder or quieter mics, it shouldn't be a problem. It wouldn't improve toxicity, if anything it would decrease it. Most players can't talk in a mic due to their anti social tendency's anyhow, thus the whole ''keyboard warrior'' phase. It also prevents players from accidentally flashing or healing while typing/ stopping in lane to tell players what is going to happen. You can just tell everyone while continuing to farm or fight what's going to happen next. Even if players don't want to use the voice chat to talk to their team, they can still listen in with the headphones I assume everyone uses while playing your game.

THIS is probably one of the most important issues in league right now. I get there are bugs you need to be working on, and champion balancing. But this needs to happen first. It would save a lot of players from losing free ladder points because of lack of communication.

Yeah that would be good, i know a lot of people would use it as a way to flame but for the people legitimately wanting to play the game with as much teamwork as possible it is a necessity. Maybe a dynamic party system where you can invite a person to the party while in game so that you can use voice chat with them and if they start being a tool then just kick them from the party.

Regardless there needs to be some way for teams to communicate. Almost every single competitive game that is trying to go e sport has this but league. Ie: Cs Go, Rainbow Six Siege, Call of Duty, etc. It is an important way to communicate and on top of it you might meet some friends you would otherwise lose out on.

I hope riot implements some kind of team voice chat as it really would freshen up the game for me and I'm slowly getting burned out of this game. something needs to happen.

Plus riot can always implement a feature like chat banning for toxic players. Though I guess privacy becomes an issue b/c evidence of verbal toxicity would mean recording players dialogue.
