Started having this problem last night 
I have the same problem... :(
same problem, could riot give us an update on the issue?
Same....
so to sum it up:
should hopefully work for most cases
Didn't work for me for some reason 
Same issue: "Unable to connect to chat, you may reconnect manually".
Try testing the solutions from KNY EUW they seemed to work! :)
I have the same problem: On the bottom of my league page it says: "logging onto chat service". This has been there for almost a day, I tried logging out and then back in several times, this doesn't seem to work. I can also not see me friend list and thereby also not able to chat with them. It says I have 0 friends. My chat groups are also gone. And I can't see my summoner icon when I am in a room to start of a game, however I can see it on the top of my league page where i can select other summoner icons. My friends are able to see my summoner icon. I play on a macbook air. on patch 6.16

delete the config file of your air client
normal installation path is C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client_config_euw\releases\0.0.0.52\deploy\
delete lol.properties
Did not work :(![]()
otherwise you can try to delete the releasemanifest
C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client_config_euw\releases\0.0.0.52\
delete releasemanifest
deleted both these files and my chat worked after i did it - thought it was the lol.properties file
if that doesn't work then i can't help you :(
ty for help but does not work :/
managed to reproduce the error and got away with another solution.
close client
open C:\Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\
delete last_versions
start client again
hope it helps :)
worked like a charm! <3 thanks :)
Can you check if you have akamai installed ? It is a program for the content caching cloud service for that company. In my case uninstalling it solved my chat issue.
i don't have it installed

It must be something else then in you're case. The chat is working correctly for me, so maybe you have another program that reroutes the chat or kills the network path. It must be something locally interfering with the routing since for me and another user the issue was first solved by the date change and later by the uninstall. Did you look in the installed programs list ? It does not show up as an application on the desktop.
ye was looking for it in the registry - its not installed.
Not quite sure where the problem comes from, but i guess it has smth to do with older versions of the client that were not properly updated with newer releases.
Tried all of the solutions posted, still doesn't work 12 hours later, :/
Having the same exact issue.. it's odd.. Defenitely with the 6.16 patch or smthng
Tried all the 'fixes' still does not work for me.
