Quick question what do you use to make the map and shadows look like that?
Great Video. Keep it up
how about they just make the game more casual?
the thing is, pros are always, *always* gonna find a new way to abuse the game, break the balance, flip it on it's head and make it insane. there's no way around it, that's what makes a pro. so why not just balance for the casuals and see what they can come up with? sure you can make minor adjustments to make the meta a bit less stale for them, but honestly if the game's fun, people are more likely to give Riot money to support them, or just cause they want a cool skin for the game they love playing the most.

Hearing about Viego being banned from pro-play is actually blowing my mind right now. I've always wondered what pros thought about this champion, and that the only reason riot won't sit down and take a step back to fix there game is because pros just deal with it. But pros aren't dealing with it.
It's the money issue. They stillale billions with the shit balance. It's the Activision blizzard formula
In my opinion it's so unfair how this whole game revolves around the pros... if their feedback is that something is too strong Riot instantly replies. If there's a champion ruining everyone's games, they just disable it for the pros. But when it comes to the actual community of people who play the game riot just closes their eyes again and again. Asol mains have been begging for his W to be changed back yet still nothing has happened
@@rolandakaecak9332 I hear you man. This why I choose to stop playing League, this game isn't designed for me to play, it's designed for the pros. But damnit I love Exil's videos on League!!

@@shindrac nah riot doesnt even fully listens to tencent thou cuz if they do wild rift (mobile version) couldve already existed years ago tencent keeps telling them but they keep refusing
I always have the impression that Riot nerfs a champion cause some employee just got stomped by a 40% win rate Mono Lulu jungler in Low Bronze that now they need to nerf Lulu.
Didn't that happen once?

that part on the ranked incentives keeping players engaged for a full year paying for itself is true as fuck
Specially because the victorious skin doesnt feel like enough. We never know what champion will get the skin and most of the time no one cares
Victorious skins cost resources creating an additional skin every year for champs some people don't use.
..... A free skin for a champion most used in ranked every year would literally cost riot pennies in exchange, which is overall a net gain. Since they're going to be skins that have ALREADY BEEN MADE.
Honestly, you probably don't even need to make it free. Just give the player 50-70% (scaling with elo) off one skin for their most used champ during the climb OR 20-40% (scaling with elo) off any other skin if they own all on their champ or don't want a skin on their main or whatever. It doesn't have to be free, it just has to be guaranteed/consistent. If I know I'm gonna get what I want, I'm gonna do the thing. Not "oh boy a random box with a 0.7% chance to give me something relevant." I'd rather "okay, if I work hard and climb, I can get 60% off that skin I want." You could even have the discount scale higher with Honor level: up to 100%. Yea, you worked hard, played consistently, and had max honor by the end? Fuck yea you get a free skin. You earned it.
@@RandomPinoyGamer It doesn't even have to be something as complex as a whole new skin. They could just have chromas of the base skins for every champion which reflect the ranked bracket you managed to achieve with that champion.
9:30 We're not going to talk about Camille being picked literally 1 time and still having a 42% presence? That's insane
That IS insane wtf
she has virtually no counterplay options available when picked into her strong matchups and her lockdown bypasses every single tool in the game making her a more powerful malphite in every concievable way, in the highest tiers of coordination she's used as a fiora like character with a malphite/nautilus "faker shutdown" style of targeted assassination, but unlike malphite who can be flashed, avoided, or just stunned out of range, she cannot be stopped, at all. as a rule of thumb if your comp relies on a single point of large damage like a huge adc she basically will ruin the game for you, but she's also terrible as hell into a team full of heavy hitters, so she's like the giga ultimate expression of rock paper scissors, theres almost no room for playing her to perfection in a bad matchup against pros, and theres almost no room to stop her from hitting her win con if your team is built wrong.
It fucking sucks and i hate it. riot has so many champions now that just win if your team is not picked right. forget item choices, gameplay choices, or rune choices or anything done AFTER the point of hitting lock on the champion selection.. it makes no fucking sense.
@@CoffeeKitty. There are counterplays to her ult. Like flash for exemple. If she uses her ult and you flash into your team in pro play it's often enough for your team to instantly lock and burst her down before she can do anything. Camille isn't a very strong teamfight champion, hence why she isn't picked often in pro play (right now gnar/sion/renekton are far more popular pick/bans.
@@Will-uj7yu you're using such a rare edge case scenario to justify her being okay in pro play while also saying she's bad in pro play.
firstly, she has the 9th highest presence in pro play this season of ALL CHAMPIONS IN THE GAME ACROSS ALL ROLES.
Secondly, flash moves you 425 units. if you are close enough to your team to flash to safety before a camille ult hits you then you were never going to be ulted to begin with, i think you woefully misunderstand how she works at high tier.
i advise you look up the stats and some footage of her being played for yourself to see why she has the 9th highest presence overall, the third highest presence top, and the SINGLE. LARGEST. BAN AMOUNT IN ALL TOP LANERS.
she is currently the #1 banned top laner, and the #3 presence top laner, i feel like you're just ignoring data at this point
but generally speaking she can survive her contemporaries in lane and becomes an impossible to shut down one button delete for out of posistion champions, we can define delete as trapping enemy champion in a location they will be killed with out ability to get assistance from team by the time ult wears off. she does not do a whole heck of a lot of damage and she's not dominant as a champion, but she does have a one two combo that is basically malphites ult, but better, on the body of a proper bruiser with high output
gol.gg/champion/list/season-S11/split-ALL/tournament-ALL/
as somone who has to keep her nearly permanently banned in master solo q when i play any assassins i am painfully familiar with her ability to remove any given champion, especially those with excessive mobility like assassins from the game, no matter how far ahead they are.
You basically cannot play akali or zed or kat with her on the enemy team at a high coordination level, skill is a bit agnostic here, but if theres followup on her ult, you're dead, it doesnt matter if you're 25-5, you're dead.
@@CoffeeKitty. people forget about Seraphine who auto wins game after reaching the 30 minute win condition... 2 or more tanks will not die as long as she is alive, she has self peel and cc, and this is not counting if she echoes her W for the double healing shielding effect you not going to get anything done while her ultimate is basically just a zoning ult

On the auto-fill thing: if there is a shortage in certain roles though, increasing the number of players doesnt do anything. You will still be short that same percentage of supports, junglers or top-laners (whatever role sucks the most at the moment). More players does not automatically mean you can get rid of auto-fill.
while you're right, i dont even play ranked soley because autofill jg is the bane of my existance, i dont like any of the jg champs that are viable my fav jungles suck dick in solo q (lilia is at the top of that list..) and out of my last 150 games nearly all of them have had a jg who was flagged as being autofilled, i.e. jg making up less than 20% of their games and them having insanely bad metrics on them.
This is usually true for the enemy team too but it creates essentially an offrole v offrole ecosystem for the most impactful role in the entire fucking game.
ranked is a shitshow with it on and i'd rather a 10 or 15 minute que or even more if i got good match fidelity.
when i play dota i get nearly perfect MMR matchups despite being in the top 1% of players on a game with a much smaller playerbase. riot's matchmaking is bloated and severely flawed and autofill doesn't help games, it hurts them.
the core fix is to make jungle less irritating to play while also making it less demanding and less impactful and the simple way is by increasing vision options to non support laners but whatever, i still would rather wait an hour for a match with out an autoifll jg than play another fucking godamn instant lock yi.
@@CoffeeKitty. or learn to play the other role with shortage wich is support, if you select support as secondary role is unlikely that you will get jungle
@@nechocat1234 yes, i que as mid/support, and roughly 90% of my games are support, then i watch my midlane feed 0-10 and i lose the game because no one knows how to handle a 10-0 yone roaming. playing jg or support in this season is an exercise in futility
i'm currently master and if i did not dodge like every 2 or so games i'd probably be hardstuck d2
@@CoffeeKitty. that's more a problem with account selling and/or eloboosting you know those people that charge you to get your account up more than it should be
@@nechocat1234 i play jungle and i'll see my top lane go 0/2 before i even get level 3
When it comes to autofill, i believe that good solution would be making it so you won't ever be given random autofill, but taking it willingly would result in a reward.
It could be just straight up +2 LP (for example if you win you get 22 instead of 20 and if you lose -18 instead of -20), or something along the lines "every 4th win in auto fill have +50% LP", or "5 autofill games = hextech chest"
Honestly I'd prefer a longer wait time than autofill, my first game of the day for any day is always jungle
That would be dope but Rito can't use brain for ACTUAL good efforts towards health of the game.
If they did this, a prompt would pop, you would have to accept/decline but loving every role in the game(well, a little less on the adc role) I can just cheese-mode autofill.
Rito needs to implement this idea. Hextech key fragments might be a bit better(or just Hextech keys)

You know who I havent seen in ages? A sona. Why doesnt she get buffed? Oh wait simpaphine exists
she is gonna be buffed soon
The sad thing is that as much as I love Sona, whenever I have a Seraphine on my team, she's doing a billion things at once for my team. We can recover from falling behind so well that team fights are always our advantage. Wish Sona could do that again just like she did before. But maybe there's hope when Pentakill comes back?
Yeah and it's weird to see people defend Seraphine and say "She isn't a better Sona" despite her pretty much taking her role and abusing the shit out of Moonstaff. Sure their kits aren't exactly the same but they're close enough to the point where anything Sona can do, Seraphine can do it much better and is even viable as a midlane AP carry if that's what you're looking for.
@@tfwnogf1517 They could make her broken and she'd still be weaker than Seraphine when she does her exact same role, but much better.
At this point sona is a troll pick
Maybe instead of two roles, we should be able to put our preferences for all 5 roles, making autofill a lot less prevalent, since a 3rd pick support is better than a person who is a 5th pick.

@@bar123k5 yes and no about Singed. Most people know what you're doing they just hate it. As someone who plays Singed and loves him he is a troll/griefer champion.
Everything about Singed is counted to how the game is normally played. Most times not only do the opponents hate you but your team also hates you.
You have to play around Singed to win and even if you do you can easily lose the game due to the complex nature of the way he plays.
@@seemlesslies i really know what u mean, i used to play tons of singed. I stopped because in some matchaps i couldnt do anything, but im pretty sure its because i am bad with him..

Singed just never got that lighf like them..
i really think that is not true. because the moment you pick lilia 2 kids will start flaming you, grief your game, and you would have to mute them, resulting in beeing on coms with like 1 other guy, while other 3 are still poping ur sleep instantly, and ruining the fights
this is also true for all junglers lmao, the quality of game difference i have when i have an attentive jg on comms who tells me a few minutes in advance that he's gonna shift up his route lets me completley change the way i handle the macro, and its never a guessing game when i try to setup deep wards for them either.
Kai’sa is also not getting nerfed cause of that sweet sweet KDA money
I think that's not the point. Look at Akali, she is a money printing K/DA waifu for riot, but got so often and hard nerfed. I think it's the difficult between these 2 champs. Akali needs insane practice and skill to make her work (winning the game), but Kai'sa is "noob"-friendly. Even when you are ahead you can get punished hard and lose the game as Akali, when the enemies are not completely brainafk, but as Kai'sa it's insane easy to clutch the enemies in a second even from behind. The kit of both champs is... well, overloaded, but Kai'sa is next level. "movementspeed, invis, attackspeed, extra dmg procc, long range snipe, shield/dash/gap closer, shredd single/AoE, AD/AP viable" and more as an ADC. She doesn't needs to dive in meleerange like the most assassins, she can use 90% of her kit from the backline OR decided when to dive in the backline to oneshot them.
I can only speak for myself. As an Akali main I give a f*** about Akali nerfs, when you are good with her you destroy your enemies for the most time anyway, but I know from some of my friends (Kai'sa mains) they would not play her anymore when riot nerfs her to the "ground", they want these "ez pz wins without really hard work".
@@NeverKilledHillock Yeah thats why they try to make akali good sometimes, they want to sell skins
@@NeverKilledHillock Just note my opinion is going to try to be based on objectivity, but I've also not checked this info in a while, so I could just plain be wrong. Covering my bases.
Personally, I feel that the reason that Akali takes the nerf bat compared to kai'sa comes from both of their quantity of mains and ease of access. Say what you will about Akali, but she is a lot harder than most champions and is a great deal more challenging than Kai'sa. Because of this, she has a small playerbase that will stick with her through thick and thin even if she gets nerfed. Generally speaking, Riot can rely on them to buy the skins for their champion because it is their one-trick. As for Kai'sa, she is pretty accessible and has one of, if not THE highest play rate in the game with an impressive win rate when you put that into consideration. This means that her playerbase is more likely to use her for power and ease, flavor of the monthers, if you will (this isn't all Kai'sa players, but a large portion being this would explain her insane play rate). This makes me feel that Riot is less willing to nerf Kai'sa just because of the loyalty of her playerbase compared to Akali. Nerf = Less Skins for Kaisa, but not necessarily for Akali.
Sexy booba heroes shud be stronk tho
@@NeverKilledHillock They overnerfed Akali, yet she's also one of the champs that they constantly try to bring back.

What struck me as particularly interesting about the mention of Kai'sa was if you ask LS he'd also be baffled why she has an 80% presence, because he is also aware that she has very serious counter match ups and pros just appear to be refusing to play them into her. Sometimes the pro scene is influenced by more than just "what is good/strong", it becomes more about what the players get comfortable with and then they end up being stubborn over it.
interesting argument: so maybe to do nerfs + compensation for solo que or just nerfs in general to shake up the meta? or buff counter matchups or let the meta naturally shift?
Therein lies the problem....
As though to further support my point, LS's channel had a video uploaded where he says that Apehlios didn't need to be nerfed, people just needed to draft better against him and gave examples of how teams could have done so.
It is funny, the constant balance changes and item buff and nerfs make this, when the system keeps changing it is easier for the pros to play the same champion (one that you already master) and adjust to the changes to keep a semblance of stability, the same logic as one tricking to climb, if the patches were longer, people will have time to learn and adapt to counter strategies (I think doublelift said something similar once)
Also LS said, numbers are not what makes a champion strong it’s the abilities, kaisa it’s used solely because she can dive with her team, even when you handle her in lane, when hecarim dives she will follow
Remember when Riot buffed Karma because noone was picking her in pro. then they had to nerf her twice because everyone refused not to pick her?

Just like they did with my Akali, the changes were more focused on soloQ than proplay. Particularly her energy regen being moved from the passive (being that not many soloQ players know how to use her passive effectively) to her W where now to get an extra 80 energy you just have to press W and tadaaa
I still feel like the nexus turrets should do true damage, when the enemy even gets there, they're strong enough to not even need minions. Like the inting Sion strategy where he wins by ulting your turrets nonstop.
pick a champ that snowballs crazy like illaoi, yorick or darius... sion will feed extremly when he tries that
That wouldn't really stop inting sion from working, as inting sion builds ad and a little bit of as to destroy towers like crazy, not armor
I disagree, the gets rid of honestly quite of bit of depth the game has imo
@@RustingPeace Your bounty gets reduced the more you die, this minimizes the effect that feeders have in the game, and for Inting Sion, it doesn't even matter because if there's no one in the top lane at all times to at least try to defend the turrets, their base just dies, so the top laner can't even use their gold and gets diminishing returns from killing Sion. And can't afford to die to reset the bounty unless, again, they want their base dead. That's one of the many reasons Inting Sion worked so well. I personally played against it after it was nerfed, and... It still was just as awful to play against.
That’s a massive nerf on a shit ton of items, abilities and strategies
I find hard to judge decisions made by Riot because I cannot discern how much of them are from a develpor point of view and how much of them are from a bussiness point of view.
This is my big thing. I’m confident that the balance team wants to nerf Kai’sa, but the people running the numbers know that if she isn’t freelo a few weebs will go back to buying waifu body pillows instead of the latest KDA skin. It’s frustrating as a player and I’m sure it’s frustrating for the devs who care about the game.

First of all great video, I'm an old dota 2 player that only plays league with one friend like three times a month, but I managed to understand all the issues you presented.
One thing I'd really like league to implement is a tips and tricks system made by pro players! Where they essentially can write about the weaknesses of a seemingly op champion you're facing, or just about some sort of hidden mechanics/combos you can use with your favorite champion.
Maybe there's only a short clip on the game itself but they link you to a full youtube video, and this would also help even more their esport scene by getting more eyes onto pros
Skooch vid really sums up what's wrong about lilia
: your teammates don't know that they don't need to pop the sleep as soon as they could
These braindeads can't play around sleep, try to play dota2 and they might hit a bane nightmared enemy

Assassins already aren't viable in pro play, so why not nerf them for solo q because some of these assassins are just straight up unfair
All are unfair, that's the point of playing them...
They want league to be a fast game. Assassins are necessary to make the game fast.
The only unfair assassins so far are AP ones, the only AD assassin who is broken right now is duskblade K6 and him only, you literally need a champion who gives true sight or buy horizon focus and pray that you hit him with your skillshot or he just will become invisible up to 6 times till he gets a penta (not mentioning his jump resets and R mobility)

The fact that they’re spam nerfing udyr just for the sake of him being strong after YEARS of being non viable, all the while Kaisa is stomping pro play REALLY shows their bias.
One champ sells skins, other one doesn't. I mean, would you rather buy All-out KDA Kaisa or SG Udyr... and one of them is Ultimate
Udyr and Kai'sa have received the same amount of nerfs in season 11 which will be 2 in 2 days when 11.7 comes out
Compared to Kai Sa Udyr is absurd. Kai Sa is at least easy to kill with her low HP bar. Udyr has high HP bar, High dmg, high mobility. He is much worse to fight.
@@athras8822 One sells skins because they keep giving her great ones, the other doesn't because Riot has completely ignored him for years.
@@erasedkarma Imagine being so drunk that you actually say "Udyr has high HP, damage and mobility" as if he magically got stuff NOW.
He has literally never changed, the meta and items just heavily favored him.
I've played Lilia only after her nerfs and it really doesn't feel weak. I understand the bad win rate is more relevant than my experience, but she is definitely viable to play. But obviously people don't want to play as a team, they want to be able to power farm faster than everyone, while also being able to 1v1 the enemy jungler, win mid 2v2, be fast, an assassin killing carries and a beast in team fights. If you want to 1v9 play against bots
Awsome video with good information and smart ideas for ranked improvments
*I play toplane. I play either Darius or Lillia. The difference is fucking night and day.*
I love Lillia, I play good with Lillia. I always win lane, I always roam, I always farm well.
With Lillia I have to consistently land my Qs while consistently keeping out of enemy range and consistently dodge skillshots while managing my mana and CDs (yes, you can run out of mana on Lillia if you're playing aggro). One mistake and I'll lose 40% of my healthbar at best and flatout die at worst, and if I don't die I stay with my lost health because I don't usually have healing. I also rotate to most if not all lanes every game and help on dragons before TPing back. If I'm fed these conditions don't change, only the numbers. Now if I make a mistake I'll lose 30% of my health and I can kill in a couple less Qs, some squishies may die after one Q-Q-R-W. If I'm behind I'm an R button hoping for my team to carry me. I can push waves but have to be present in most if not all teamfights because I can't reliably take towers nor epic monsters and I can't fight more than 3 people at any given time. It's very easy for the enemy to fuck up against Lillia, but if they do they only take 20% extra damage, the trick is to make sure that's exactlly what you need to kill.
I have a 47% winrate on Lillia.
I like Darius, I am decent with Darius. I usually win lane by managing the wave and running people down with ghost. After that I push, take tower and rotate. With Darius I have to dodge or tank enough to get 5 stacks and after that I've already won, I also have to land my E against ranged until I get stridebreaker. If I'm fed you either outrange me or you just flatout die. If I'm behind I can still pull an outplay on a 1v1, but it's difficult. I can splitpush and 1v2 reliably and if I play well enough I can literally 1v5 because I've done it before, allowing my team to take other objectives. It's really easy to fuck up against Darius, fucking up against Darius is suicide.
I have a 63% winrate on Darius.
With Lillia I need to outplay constantly and consistently to win, with Darius I need to reach and either land Q or dodge. Fun fact, I think playing Lillia has actually made me better at Darius, but when I play Lillia pulling off the 1v1 at lvl 4 feels like Darius feels when you're 1v2ing and suddenly the enemy midlaner appears and you need to pull off that outplay to survive. And I play him like I play Lillia when that happens. I consistently land my Q and go in and out while keeping my passive stacked and dodging everything I can. I've been against a Lillia as Darius only once, btw, and I absolutely demolished her.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Grab a tissue while you leave.
I like how people acknowledge how Lillia and Darius have that similar skill but even more so I love how that means there are Lillia and Darius mains that share the same champion pool.
Doesn't matter who you are or what your aesthetic preferences are, this circle is a no no zone that needs respect. Or else.
so much of Lillia's power-budget is in her super fast jungle clear (King Nidhogg's recent vids on her are so funny), imo that and wave-clear should be the first levers you go to for balancing pro vs soloq
Based wall of text
Sound like me with kai’sa and jhin. Everyone in the comments complaining about kai’sa. I’ve got a 54% winrate on kai’sa for jhin. I just kinda play him and don’t think about it. My winrate on jhin move around from 65-75% winrate based on if I’m rage queueing or not. If anything jhin should be what people are complaining about. His kits not overloaded but he scales so well that if the game lasts long enough you can just carry. Every time I play kai’sa I win lane and then get targeted and one tapped all game. Invis on e does nothing when you have 1300 hp and can’t attack when ur invis. The gap closer with shield is good but the shield really does nothing. It might as well just be a really big gap closer. Her “long range snipe” is only good with ap or unless they have 3-4 stacks of passive. Ur q is ur bread and butter. Does damage and it’s good wave clear. To use it right you need good positioning and or a good support. This doesn’t make kai’sa good it makes either you bad for getting out of position or the enemy kai’sa really good. Don’t be stupid when you play against a kai’sa. Unlike jhin who can still hit you with q w and get a speedboost as kai’sa you have to play around your cds and position. It’s not as brainless as you think. Now my main jhin. Boy he’s brainless. Just auto your way to win.
My best experiences with league is when random teammates post discord and we all actually communicate. So much less toxic, and a lot more fun.
As a woman: not same. 60-70% of the time you'll get some snide remark about your sex, your role, or your champ. It's too stressful to join vc with strangers because of that.
Sure, I could join and just listen, but why bother? I'd sooner just play my own game and mute all.
@@EyeOfTwilight I mean as a girl myself I haven’t experienced anything like that. Lool then again I’ve also never experience someone put a discord link in chat.
@@EyeOfTwilight I totally agree it’s like a switch gets turn on every time they find out that I’m a girl so stressful to deal with
@@EyeOfTwilight Yeah someone posted a discord link in one of my games recently but knowing the toxicity in our servers, I don't think it would have been ideal for me at least. Besides Mute All makes the game 60% less stressful and it really improved my map control/awareness as a support player.
Voice comms are a pretty mixed bag considering a good half the teammates I play with I mute because they're toxic jerks. The whole community isn't that way, but chancing joining VC with someone who is toxic isn't high on my priority list.
My school has an esports team and after joining and playing some matches with the team I realized how different communication makes a game. Our school is realy big so we had alot of options for players so in the league we have some of if not the most mechanical players but what we have found is that we either crush a team during the laning phase or we slowly get drained by a team that is communicating way better than us. Currently we have 3 wins 2 draws and 0 losses but those 2 draws are games against people that, as far as mechanics, are worse than us. PlayVS (the system used for esports) does a best of 2 for some awful reason so that's how you get draws. Voice coms and team chemistry make such a huge difference in the game. Playing on an esports team vs other teams is a completely different experience compared to solo queue.

When I was playing her for fun and seeing how she felt there were so many times when I would ult and my team would instantly wake up the enemy with an auto attack and leave. Azir at least can operate alone
Remember when Yorick was garbage at all levels, and Riot nerfed him anyways, so that he wouldn't "pubstomp" low elo games?

@@AzureRoxe yi isn't good in high elo xD
Lmao teemo is a troll pick
@@AzureRoxe Yi is used for funneling that's why you see people who have 80-90% win rate on him. But because everyone else who plays him normally loses it skews the statistics and shows negative win rate.
The music makes me feel like I'm watching something that matters
I think one of the best parts of solo queue, honestly, is when you do find new friends! I’ve been playing with a friend for nearly a year that I ran into in a bot game and he decided to play more games with me, and now we have a whole group that plays nightly.
my problem with open mic is that: what's the point of having open mic for everyone on soloQ if I'm gonna mute every game ?? People always use this argument ''just mute '', but like, isn't open mic supposed to increase soloQ communication ?? If people are going to ''/mute all'' every single game, then it is doing the opposite of it, decreasing communication. I know that a lot of guys want to talk to strangers and watch your favorite streamer flame people online on mic, but the only people I see that are going to benefit from open mic on soloQ are pro players, bc they know eachother on challenger most of the time. bruh dealing with weirdos on soloQ is already pretty stressful, now I have to deal with these weirdos talking to me ?? you guys want to deal with that ?? cause I don't :/
you already said the solution: mute
Its actually pretty normal to have comms on a team based game, take Valorant for example.
Almost every other competItive game has voice comms... Why can't league? In games like csgo voice comms are so important that you basically can't play the game without and will be flamed or even kicked if you refuse to communicate.
Open mic just allows for faster communication in game, maybe you will still get flamed and have to mute then but I highly doubt the amount of people flaming will increase, especially since you can now hear their squeaky voice as they do it. The expectation shouldnt be to have to mute everyone every game, but instead that it is always an option if you get too frustrated, and it's not like the old methods of communication will be removed.
@@yoursnatchedweave641 Then what would be the point?

I really wish Riot was willing to hear the community's ideas to improve the game. At this point they are doing whatever gives them the most money, which can be seen reflected in things like the designs of new champs in recent years. Not only are they giving priority to characters with more complicated kits to make them appear to have more depth or with more generic designs, which a large part of the community does not like (the like/dislike ratio in the most recent trailers shows how tired some people are over the saturation of anime-like designs), but at this point, it seems that this will be their marketing strategy permanently. And all for the sake of more Star Guardian Skins.
I hope that League will make less-human like characters in the future.

I think, while this is full of pitfalls as well, that some champions are just better suited to either type of play (organized or solo). Using your Kalista example: I hated when I would queue up and would support a Kalista (I main support). Mostly because we would rarely jive with her ultimate. The player I am with either uses it when I don’t want to or too late after I expect them to. So... idk. It’s a tough balancing game but i don’t really have a solution although I can easily pick out the problems.
