After dataminers seemingly found evidence of voice chat coming to League of Legends earlier this year, Riot Games has released a developer blog confirming that voice chat will be added in the future. However, the company emphasized that the feature will not arrive soon until the risk of toxicity in the game is reduced. “We want to get this right, so it isn’t going to happen fast,” the blog post reads. “We hear that you are worried about a world where some people use Team Voice to be jerks, but we want to reassure you: we’re listening to your concerns and we are committed to making sure that that world does not come to pass. So we’re going to extensively work, test, and iterate to make this a feature worthy of your trust,” the post continues. It is safe to assume that while the feature is indeed coming, it will not launch anytime soon, as a release window has not been provided.
We just put out a dev blog on Team Voice in League.
It includes our plans for team-based voice communications in League, and how we're approaching it to make sure its a feature with a very high quality bar worthy of your trust.

The game’s details:
WELCOME TO THE RIFT
LEARN THE BASICS
There’s a lot to learn about League, so we’ll start with the essentials. Explore the guide below to get the rundown on the most popular game mode.
WHAT IS LEAGUE OF LEGENDS?
League of Legends is a team-based strategy game where two teams of five powerful champions face off to destroy the other’s base. Choose from over 140 champions to make epic plays, secure kills, and take down towers as you battle your way to victory.
DESTROY THE BASE
The Nexus is the heart of both teams’ bases. Destroy the enemy’s Nexus first to win the game.
YOUR NEXUS
Your Nexus is where minions spawn. Behind your Nexus is the Fountain, where you can quickly replenish health and mana and access the Shop.
CLEAR THE PATH
Your team needs to clear at least one lane to get to the enemy Nexus. Blocking your path are defense structures called turrets and inhibitors. Each lane has three turrets and one inhibitor, and each Nexus is guarded by two turrets.
TURRETS
Turrets deal damage to enemy minions and champions, and provide limited vision from the Fog of War for their team. Attack these structures with minions ahead of you to avoid damage and charge ahead.
TAKE ON THE JUNGLE
In between the lanes is the jungle, where neutral monsters and jungle plants reside. The two most important monsters are Baron Nashor and the Drakes. Killing these units grants unique buffs for your team and can also turn the tide of the game.
BARON NASHOR
Baron Nashor is the most powerful monster in the jungle. Killing Baron grants the slayer’s team bonus attack damage, ability power, empowered recall, and greatly increases the power of nearby minions.
CHOOSE YOUR LANE
There are five positions that make up the recommended team comp for the game. Each lane lends itself to certain kinds of champions and roles—try them all or lock in to the lane that calls you.
TOP LANE
Champions in top lane are the tough solo fighters of the team. It’s their job to protect their lane and focus on the enemy team’s most powerful members.
POWER UP YOUR CHAMP
Champions get stronger by earning experience to level up and gold to buy more powerful items as the game progresses. Staying on top of these two factors is crucial to overpowering the enemy team and destroying their base.
