    Misogyny and racism will exist regardless, I don't think we should let that stop us from being able to communicate effectively. And most ppl mute toxic players in their games alteady anyway, I see no reason why they shouldn't add vc

    Riot has always had this mindset of trying to make league a 100% safe game for everyone. But the reality is, we do not live in an utopic world where everything is perfect and everyone goes along. There are always gonna be mentally ill people using the internet. Everyone knows VC in league would be benificial 90% of the time. This is for sure a good implementation for solo queue. They don't even have the decency to test it out for a couple of weeks to see how it goes. If you live your life with this same mentality Riot Games has, you'll never do anything because you're too afraid of that small chance it goes wrong...

    Riot just has a stupid approach to combat toxicity. I love what DOTA, instead of hardcore combating it, they turn it to comedic relief instead, makes it more of a joke. dota has voice coms since the start, and i personally think they are way less toxic there despite having stuff like “loser” spray or something like “get owned”. I think riot takes the game far too seriously, even more than the pro players themselves who literally makes a living by playing their game. This leads to more stress which brings even more toxicity. If you watch High immortal Dota 2 lobbies, or even your average Archon game, you will find that toxic voice coms is alot lower than you might think. Hell, some players might not even have a mic to begin with, or just never speaks. However, they still listen when you are using coms, as long as your mic isnt shit or you callout useless shit

The keyboard warriors and the "hehe xd im not even trying that why I'm 0/4 at 12 minutes who even cares about this game I'm on my alt :^)" types really wouldn't be able to handle it.

    Yes, YES, YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, As a filthy Splitpusher that likes to play around complex decision making that I have no time to type out, a lot of times I can lose or lose a big moment to out macro the enemy just because I can't Fight somebody and tell my team what to do at the same time..
    Common example: JG walking topside when I'm weak early and can't follow up on invades/fights etc, sometimes they can't tell why I can't come because we would lose anyway, while if I had voice, I could explain it quickly and we don't commit to the play or stall it out to give me time to come.
    Basic example: a lot of times people get toxic and annoyed because people aren't on the same page, thus get angry at each other for not doing X, Y or Z, without knowing the reason, why this was done, sometimes it's legit knowledge diff on matchups, lanes or w.e. since most the time arguements are done between the JG and X Laner if not just botlane cussing eachother out cause they're not duo and can't see eye to eye on the same play outside of pinging to go in, or ??? When they miss play.
    Niche example: I play Yorick, a lot of times I legit release maiden or send my ghouls in another lane with a cannon wave, the cannon will tank the tower shots, giving the ghouls time to melt the tower, once their tower goes down and they notice ghouls or Maiden with Ghouls, they'll have to back and we can Siege anything we want.
    But most of the time I'm spam pinged to move to X location, while I'm waiting to release Maiden (She has a 10s CD before I can release her once spawned)
    Or I can send Ghouls or maiden down a lane, and wait for them to go far enough so I can raise 4 Ghouls, without having the nearby ones die and be replaced, since Yorick can't have more than 4 Ghouls around them, so from their POV, I', just standing still, meanwhile I'm waiting for my pets to be out of range so I can spawn the ghouls from graves and take them to the fight..
    AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THIS FKN PARAGRAPH I CAN'T EXPLAIN HALF OF THIS SHT TO MY TEAMMATES EVER IN TIME OR UNDERSTANDING, So they don't know to stall, or what im doing, or that I can't make my ghouls follow me, cause if they see an enemy wave they'll leave, once again, me legit clearing a wave or letting it walk away before I can raise them..

    I agree 100%. This is dead on. The idea they don't have voice is because people would abuse it is just dumb. Just ban bad when people are reported for bad behavior in voice like already in text chat. The fact that it's 2024 and no voice comms is crazy. The game is meant to be played with voice comm because as you know it moves way to fast to use text. Also I agree it would humanize the experience through talking which builds way better bonds than texting which seems to just breed toxicity because as you said it's two people talking it's just text. I have been playing for years and couldn't believe it didn't have comms when I started and still wonder what they are thinking because it would improve the game drastically.

    Every game with voice chat has that toxicity moment, shit happens imo. Ive been bashed and ive bashed, it goes both ways but ultimately being restricted to text which has no tone and pings which is just a robotic way ro communicate, there's very little room for strategy outside individual skill. Voice chat also has a higher likelihood of leaving the game with new friends and more comradery. The fact that league doesnt have voice chat but every other moba and riots own valorant does is a crime. I agree and have said for years, voice chat would make league less toxic. If shit hits the fan in comms, theres a mute button but i like to strategize and compete. Id take muting and being muted here and there for a better experience over all.

    Both you and your team can't use voice comms. So that makes everything fair. Don't try to fix what isn't broken. Voice comms for League is a bad idea. I want to play, relax, and listen to music. Being shoved into social situations with 5 strangers every 30 minutes is uncomfortable and unfun. And if there was voice comms I just wouldn't join. Then the other team will be coordinating, and your team won't be because i'm on it, and you lose. Now every game is a dice roll about getting players on your team that will join voice comms, and whoever gets teammates that don't loses. Why do people want to make LoL like this? It's the worst part about games like Overwatch and Valorant.
