So is there any Rioter aware of the chat services being down? It's severely impacting games.

Did you want to call roles or let your allies know you can fill x roles but not that x role. Well you can't.

This is a big issue and it's severely impacting champion select where communication is most crucial. I'm not even going to play ranked until it's fixed but seeing as there is no awareness or post from Riot of this issue I'm under the impression Riot has no clue this is going on.

Just want a server status update or a "We are aware of the issue and fixing it". I'm afraid no one knows at the moment.
