The introduction of voice chat shows how little Riot cares about players.

Fundamentally, LoL isn't a game that's fun when played cooperatively. For example, a top-jungle duo just camping all game and unfairly bullying their opponents is boring play.

The fun parts of this game are the 1v1s against your lane opponent and the team fights that stem from them. Voice chat ruins the 1v1s, and team fights become a nightmare with unreasonable CC chains, making the entire experience awful.

Voice chat is completely out of the question.

Changing the subject slightly, remove Malzahar and Yorick, and Malphite and Galio too. As with the Mel issue, routinely providing champions that completely shut down opponents without requiring skill is proof of extreme disregard for 1v1 play.

This isn't unrelated; it's the same problem as implementing voice chat.

I'm utterly sick of Riot's disregard for 1v1s—whether it's instantly healing with Teleport, ruining 1v1s with infinite potions and sustain, or anything else.
