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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
That's... actually not a bad idea. At all.
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.
MS is the most valuable stat in this game.
Yes.
May the Lord open
Blessed be the fruit.
Why is there a riot logo on your name. Are you a rioter
Yup!
We're all zoning abilities in this blessed day
Under His eye.
Part of me reaaaally wants to point out the typo, other part of me is like nah. Ah fuck it: It's "WERE". (Sorry, pet peeve :p)
Damn autocratic!
Why did you not immediately dab after this? Wasted.
Those we're all zoning abilities.
Edit: leaving the typo here but editing to show I'm aware and actually very cool about it actually, in fact.
Without a doubt, stacks are more important than winning the game
Well, obviously. I represent Riot on Reddit so I can't just come out and confirm that here, can I?
Super secret win condition built into Nasus' script: "Susan's Gambit - gain 1200 stacks in a ranked game and the enemy Nexus implodes automatically".
I know he has 700 stacks but it still feels sad when the elder dragon KS you from another 12 stacks .-.
I think you have this backwards... Stacks are meant to get you kills that win you the game. Kills are not meant to get you stacks so you can... get some more stacks? This was probably the game winning fight!
This isn't going to happen very often.
4 cloud drakes is pretty disgusting on anyone, yet Ocean soul is still the more powerful buff. The drakes were just poorly thought out.
They're all very close in terms of power, actually.
I think u were against a nasus and i was in my promos as zac, i think we got absolutely dismantled
Oh wait. I think this might have been one where he was chain killing me under tower.
Buff Malzahar for higher elo :3 especially laning...please https://u.gg/lol/champions/malzahar/build?region=kr&rank=diamond_plus
43% winrate in diamond+ on Korean server cannot be good :S
That's over 200 games. See previous patch for more accurate stats.
