Riot Sets Fire To League Of Legends' Awful Public Chat Rooms

League of Legends’ public chat rooms have long been crawling with scammers and all other manner of assholes. So developers Riot have decided to shut them down. It’s a decision that’s all down to moderation. Or lack of it. The way the rooms are currently built means that there’s only an “ignore” button available, when really, the size of the game (and the crowd it attracts) means they need some tools that are a little more useful in weeding out (and keeping out) the unwanted. Here’s the important part of a statement issued by Riot: The official public chat rooms have grown rife with RP sellers, scammers and Elo-boost spam. The default four rooms we established can be used by a tiny fraction of our players at a time. Given the number of League players, most conversation spills into private, community-created rooms. Unfortunately, private chat rooms and even เครดิตฟรี the awesome community hubs like Dominate Dominion and Summoner School lack moderation tools beyond the ignore button. While the experience in private chat rooms is better than the public versions, we still want to provide tools to address unwelcome drop-ins and toxic behavior. Long term we’re exploring and working on major and minor improvements to chat and chat rooms aimed at enhancing usability and adding new functionality. As an immediate action we’re going to disable the public chat rooms until they’re useful and accessible. In their current shape they just don’t work and can actively create negative experiences for many players (especially new players). We’ll keep all private chat rooms and messaging available to everyone, and bring the official public chat rooms back as soon as we can. Going forwards, Riot wants to make chat a more useful part of the League of Legends experience, seeking to emulate the kind of party experience available on platforms like Xbox Live.cnx.cmd.push(function(){cnx({"playerId":"e3616d04-4972-4839-a63a-c6975e2e9731","settings":{"advertising":{"macros":{"AD_UNIT":"/23178111854/od.kotaku.com/article","CHILD_UNIT":"article","POST_ID":"1598837037","POST_TYPE":"post","CHANNEL":"uncategorized","SECTION":"","SUBSECTION":"","CATEGORIES":"uncategorized","TAGS":"","NOP":"0"},"timeBeforeFirstAd":0}}}).render("cnx-player-main")}); We’d like to create a persistent hangout for the friends you play with.
