Riot, Give us a way to disable friends messages while in game.
I still want to receive their messages, just not when I'm actively in the middle of the game.
We all have a couple of friends who just want to chat. but if I'm in the middle of ranked.. I don't want their conversation to get in the way of useful information from my teammates.
To get the most out of this feature we would want to add it a couple of different ways.
- A global option, for all your friends. ( Receive friend messages in-game? On/Off )
- A 'white list' of friends, who can message you regardless of global settings.
- A 'black list' of friends, who can't message you in-game, regardless of global settings.
- Chat commands, which allow us to change the status of a friend while in-game. 4a) -> /whitelist name -> /blacklist name -> /disable_friends_chat -> /enable_friends_chat
-> /squelch (over-rides all friend settings until the end of the game. Disables all friends from messaging you, regardless of whitelist / blacklist / global settings)
Just a couple of things off the top of my head.
I really hope this becomes a feature. It would be incredibly useful.
