Thresh and Yasuo are the two best designed champions in League.

are you implying that noone on playtest team found out Zoe & Aphelios being horrible to play against or AP Galio made it through unnoticed?
I can confirm that the balance team (and all of the Summoner's Rift team) value the Playtest team's feedback and analysis intensely. Especially on champion strength/power levels.
Nah, its cuz balance team tends to ignore the playtest team, a lot. Example galio change, playtest team told the balance team that the galio change was too OP, and balance team ignored them, imagine how many times the testers told them that the changes were op but balance team went full "I have the last word buddy and i cant hear you"
What's your source on this?

This is like, 1 of 3 times in the entire history of this sub I saw a Rioter acknowledge some poster's post and say it was at least not a bad idea.
Trouble is that Redditors take acknowledgement as "He promised they'd do this", which is always the risk.
Oof, he had Grievous Wounds on him pretty much the whole time, too.
At least 2 Ocean Drakes and Ocean Soul too. Perfect Mundo objectives there.

Where the hell did this come from? Why is it "creepy" or "fetish sh*t"? She's a woman just like anyone else.
What mouse is that?
Deadmau5.
Lol at Tea's body language in the background: "Yikes."
i mean you're playing in the competitive queue, maybe if you don't want to play in the most competitive queue you wouldn't pick it
That's why OP's suggestion is cool. Flex feels like the most cooperative queue, so it might be worth looking into there.
I think your third point is the most valid one, but not necessarily formulated like that. I think having a larger female player base is a strength. However competitive games (and sports) are often filled with prejudice and even more dangerous bigotry.
Edit: I think I formulated myself wrong by saying you formulated it wrong (ironic right..). What I disagree with is the angle that a larger female playerbase is a weakness for voicechat when I'd rather think it is a strenght (over time).
How better could it be formulated? I believe our higher % female player base is a stat to be celebrated!
I mean people already drop discord links into the lobby chat so this just eliminates that extra step to getting into vc.
They do. Have you ever fed when you've joined one of those? It gets awkward...
That's a shitty excuse. Watch any pro league game and they still ping all of the time. I play flex as a duo and trio and we don't just stop pinging just because we are in discord.
I didn't mention pings at all... Huh? I said they'd be flamed and ping spammed "????"
Every other competitive game can handle voice chat, though. At this point, even Co-Op games have had voice chat for years. And I've never heard of anyone ever being flamed for not using it, even back when I played high level CS:GO (MGE/Roughly Diamond). CS:GO requires way more active call-outs than League and doesn't have a ping system, so voice chat is way more necessary, but you still never saw flame. In fact, I'd wager a lot of the flame comes from the fact that text chat is so much worse than voice chat. People are way more willing to insult using type than speech and everything seems like flame without the inflection and accenting in voices. Plus, voice chat might help bridge the gap between soloQ and pro play, making it easier to balance champions like Ryze.
In any case, I'm rather disappointed to hear from a Rioter that it won't be happening. I was under the impression that it was a WIP that was coming relatively soon considering the addition of pre-made voice chat...
Nicely thought out post.
I'm certainly not the person who can make the calls on voice chat, but this is still the thinking on "non-party" voice last time I checked. Maybe one day! I do like the OP's idea though, and I could at least see this being the place to trial the feature out.
Again, I don't make the calls.
2020 no voice chat lmao, would definitely come back to League of legends. Also good in preparation for Clash
It's a decision. Find my other comment for details.
csgo games are not "short" compared to league games. in fact, they can be much longer
you can feed enemy $$$ in csgo
thats sexist. my gf likes it loud
LMAO how hard have these guys been overthinking it xD
Remember that nobody is forcing anybody to talk because the voice chat is up to everyone (they can mute anytime) and there is no obligation from anybody to talk, no matter the gender
Right, but if I mute you, our team is at a competitive disadvantage now. I'm not hearing your calls or warnings. You've felt what it's like being the solo player with 4 premades on discord in normals before, right? They never type a thing.
So, whilst I COULD mute you because you're being mean, or, I could still listen and choose not to speak, our team will be worse for it.
I'm sorry but a competitive game of CSGO is frequently longer than a game of league, unless it's a complete blowout. And leaving a competitive game is like an 8hr lockout, so you're stuck with them.
Oh? I actually didn't know that. I stand corrected on that one.
Just curious about your opinion but what about other games such as CS:GO and Overwatch? I play these games frequently and don’t seem to run into others being toxic towards people for not using their mic.
Those games are short, and you're not "trapped" with teammates you don't want to play with.
Neither games are snowbally: you can't "feed" the enemy McCree.
I'm not sure about Overwatch, but I imagine League has a higher % of female players than CS:GO. Plenty of our female players like to be anonymous and just get on with the game. I know my wife prefers it that way.
It's a bad idea because it means no voice chat in SoloQ. Riot should just put opt-in voice chat into the game.
That's likely never going to happen for good reasons. Players who won't/don't want to use voice chat will immediately become a disadvantage to their team. Then, they'll be flamed and spam pinged for this, further confirming that, yes, they should stay off of voice chat forever.
That's... actually not a bad idea. At all.
