Riot should add voice chat but make it only available at a certain honor level.

[slow basalt]

thats a really interesting idea

but imo the only issue I can see with it is that it will give an unfair advantage to high honours
and the question becomes is that something that Riot is okay with? Since giving anyone an advantage might ruin the integrity of the ladder

[vast berry]

yeppers

[prisma fern]

Wait you guys have vc games? No one talks in my matches 😂

[vast berry]

confusion it isnt in league thats the convo

[prisma fern]

Ah gotcha

[vast berry]

i think its only in for party members if that makes sense

[vast berry]

yeah i mean for new accounts it may be a dissadvantage... but other than that id say most people in their actual accounts in tanked are very often honor 3...

[prisma fern]

Makes sense. I don’t have anyone to play with 😂 so I don’t get to party up

[vast berry]

dw same here lol

[prisma fern]

Lol it makes the game less fun

[vast berry]

id b down to play a norm here and there wit yah if u would want around my ranked games ofc... but once its like 7ish in london i play on euw

[prisma fern]

Ah I don’t even have ranked unlocked yet 😂 but yea I’m down for games now and then

[vast berry]

all good lol

just lmk during more normal NA hours lol

[prisma fern]

For sure lol

[meager estuary]

no one voice chats with random people and party members already have it

but it might work for higher elo s where people are serious (mean master+)

[snow copper]

i love the idea, but honor 5 or nothing. tyler1 fankids are hypocrites like their daddy. tyler1 literally after asking for voice added to league claiming it wont be toxic, like all his kids claim, the 1st thing he does on overwatch 2 voice is hard flame.

oh and by the way, there are a shit ton of honor 5 players who are toxic in chat, even then its still not good enough

the only solution is separating the 2 types of players: those who are sensitive to toxicity and those who are immune to it. remove normals blind, remove ranked flex (fuck...every...single...
premade.. that has ever existed in this game), remove duo and split solo ranked in ranked voice and ranked silent, where ranked silent u cant use even chat, while in ranked voice u cant turn off chat nor pings nor voice

[meager estuary]

premades are fine and riot isnt ever going to remove them

[vast berry]

my only prob with the last one is that i think a lot of people will end up not taking silent serious so if someone is chall in silent there are really like diamond or worse for the lack of players who would be there... and tbh just go into settings and mute all chat and ur in silent for urself... just its your choice to be in a "disadvantage" if you wanna argue that will exist

[verbal bramble]

this is such a league take i love it

[remote nacelle]

i dont know, voice chat doesn't really give you a significant edge over your opponents like most other games

in league solo queue i can see the impact of voice chat to communicate to your support. but as far as other roles go well there isn't much to be said

[slow basalt]

It definitely does give you a significant advantage

Depending on which two roles have comms

[remote nacelle]

what can you do as a top laner with voice comms

that you couldn't already do with pings

[slow basalt]

have your mid/sup/jgl come to top to get snowball going

It's much easier to communicate when, how, where, why

If jgl pings "on the way" once at top wave while on red
you have no idea if jgl is coming right after Red, after clearing top side, if they will full commit, if there is a need to bait, etc etc etc

[remote nacelle]

i still don't see your point. why would having voice comms make that possible

[remote nacelle]

if jg pings on the way i typically mute them because A) i never rely on my jungler for anything and B) they will fuck up the play anyways so don't trust them

[slow basalt]

Exactly my point

it's so hard to communicate accurate information on league through pings that it becomes a game of trying to understand what your laner/jungler is thinking

The simple idea of what is wanted will be communicated but the details will be lost

Resulting in botched plays, but imagine if both players had comms
the chances of misunderstanding each other is much much lower

they can still mess up but it's definitely harder then no comms

[remote nacelle]

unless i take the keyboard from their hands i can't make them play like a human

comms does not solve my issue with my jungler being an alien

you can tell them what you want from them in comms but the chances they'll listen are the same as pings anyways

[modern socket]

Im afraid the voice chat would make me play the game less and reevaulate my life once I hear im using my time to play a game with a bunch of 13 year olds

[steel wraith]

probably the only real argument against vc

[copper stream]

honor level doesn't mean anything though

[remote nacelle]

tbh people aren't that serious in higher elo just look some videos of a high elo streamer and u'll understand, they're insanely toxic and they won't hesitate to run it down if smth bad happens to them lol

[pulsar kestrel]

That no one is you

[humble crown]

i mean thats a problem with any game that has vc

[humble crown]

Thats A streamer, for content. normally most ppl still want to int. Having vc might make them feel bad or try harder. anyone can type shit in chat but they wont say the same in vc

[verbal bramble]

before anyone thinks league might actually add vc any time in the near future, remember that typing "cancer" in any context will get you muted for the match

[pulsar kestrel]

Vc might remind them that they're playing with actual humans

[humble crown]

yeah exactly, its crazy in csgo I would be talking to my team, and i know he has vc but when he flames he only types. Too scared to say it out loud. If anything vc reduces the amount of toxicity

[pulsar kestrel]

Vc = humanity restored

I've never had a guy flame in vc as hard as in chat

[humble crown]

but riot pretty much said they aint adding it anytime soon

[pulsar kestrel]

Riot really doesn't understand why people are toxic

Riot thinks that people will stop being toxic if they add North Korean censorship

While people are toxic because of lack of communication

And griefers who shouldn't even play ranked

If someone loses 3 games in a row in ranked they should get a temporary suspension

I really don't want people on a loss streak who type ff15 after going 0/1

[meager estuary]

with a 70% winrate which is absurdly high
that would happen once every 111 matches

with 50% it will be 24 matches

[pulsar kestrel]

That's good

[pulsar kestrel]

Isn't it 1 in 8 with 50% wr and
1 in 37 with 70% wr

Besides like a 1 hour forced break from ranked would prevent people getting unnecessary chat restrictions and tilting teammates just because they're on a loss streak

[meager estuary]

yea bit thats 1 in 8 or 37 three matches

[pulsar kestrel]

37 three matches?

[steel wraith]

bro you were just talking about north korean censorship and now u suggest bans for people losing 3 in a row. Why does everyone act like this game needs anything other than what every other successful team orientated online game has. Just give the players the same freedoms as every other game, including voice chat for everyone, and make muting and reporting the only way to deal with it, expect in extreme scenarios.
I find it crazy that cs.go can have voice chat, where using it at the wrong time will literally grief your teammates, and everyone knows to just mute the crazy people on that. But on league, a game everyone plays with music on anyway, it would be too much

[meager estuary]

yea

of every 37 three matches, you lose all matches in a three match group

[pulsar kestrel]

What does 37 three matches mean

[meager estuary]

I'm not a good explainer dude

lets just ask chatgpt

[pulsar kestrel]

Is it 373?

[meager estuary]

wait a sec

chatgpt told me crap, lets try it again

idk I kinda forgot statistics, I just mean that it could just happen randomly

[verbal bramble]

lolw hat
