macOS Mojave - Voice chat permission bug

Smexhy·9/27/2018, 4:03:38 PM·82 votes·18,916 views

Hi, in the new update on macOS Mojave (10.14) there is an issue with microphone that’s not working with voice chat.

LoL should now ask me if I agree with it using the mic of my MacBook, instead nothing really happens. Discord for example is working nicely with the new update and asks if I want to use mic.

I know you are not updating macOS client at all and you basically dont give a damn about mac users but if you could sometime in next 2 years fix this many mac users out there will be grateful.

OK... so I found this today from a link on MacSurfer.com.... it doesn't address LoL specifically, but it appears that it will likely fix the issue. I've not tested it yet as I'm at work and not in front of my Mojave upgraded iMac. But I read through it thoroughly and I'm pretty certain it will work.

RIOT IS IGNORING MAC USERS RIOT IS IGNORING MAC USERS THEY ARE REALLY NOT GIVING A FUCK THAT OUR CHAT DOESNT WORK, we buy skins we support the game and they just ignore us, this is actual bull shit.

I remember when we went for Sierra to High Sierra. I updated thinking, "Oh neat, a new MacOS update, I should get that and stay current!" I never thought about how much Riot evidently doesn't care about Mac users.

For months, League, sometimes every other/third game, sometimes 4 times per game, would consistently crash and in support tickets and elsewhere, Riot's official answer to fix the problem was...

  1. Revert to a previous MacOS (Sierra) because High Sierra (out for probably 5-9 months before the issue was fixed) was causing the problem OR
  2. Use a Windows OS [either different machine or bootcamp, they don't mind which one :^) ]

...and to not play ranked to avoid leaving games/losing LP while the problem persisted. Small indie company btw. Probably just doesn't have the resources to make sure the multi-OS compatible game runs on multiple OSs.

For that reason, I'm still on High Sierra all these months later because I didn't trust that Riot would fix any bugs. I usually use this phrase where it clearly doesn't apply (banging my face on a wall instead of flashing over it) for comedic effect, but "Thanks, Riot."

Thank you for coming to my TedRant gets off of soap box
