PSA: Disable Ally Chat is coming

Congrats, it seems people will finally be able to turn off the ability to see Ally chat in game. Much like how there is a box to tick to see /All chat, there will soon be a box to untick to not see Team Chat.

This does not mean they won't be able to see what you type. Just means you won't see what they typed. Apparently sleepy 🐼 was wrong.

I just think allies need to be notified when players are using this.

If I knew someone had team chat muted I'd try to communicate more through pings instead of telling them "kat's near enemy red"

I guess I'm cautiously optimistic. On one hand, this kinda backpedals on what they've previously (and also from a long time ago) shown from research: permanently removing players from chat just means they'll do other things. So what's made them change their minds on this?

But, maybe that's a small minority of players, or if not, the smaller percentage that aren't going to take advantage of this regardless. Hopefully it provides benefit to players who can't hold back from typing, but still want to improve.

And also, there's not going to be much of an excuse for continued punishments if players opt to not use this feature after prior punishments. That's kinda what we see from punishments posted here anyhow: that players are going above and beyond to make a negative game experience for other players.

My guess is, it'll help first time punishments out, with decreasing utility the more frequent/severe the penalties are.

Can't wait. I'm so sick of hearing kids cry, complain, and argue while they feed and suck it up on the rift. Literally the worse game community i've ever been a part of. Player behavior in league of legends is disgusting.

Very necessary; chat is fucking useless currently, pings pretty much invalidate chat

This does not mean they won't be able to see what you type.

Except for the fact that if you're using this option your chat is disabled

So...it's a team mute? What's the difference between this and muting your team? or muteall

I disagree strongly with it being turned off by default for all players when the patch drops.

I was wrong, I have no problem with the idea as is - it'll be "opt out" of ally chat if a player wants to disable it, but it's enabled by default still.

I miss option "disgusted"

I hope Riot tracks this feature's usage with each player's punishment tier status and win rate, because I suspect these will be strongly correlated.

It's a good thing for toxic players. They'll finally stop whining about being banned over chat. Or not?

im shocked... it took riot many MANY years to finally make this basic feature that a ton of people always wished for... and now its finally here. and once again my joke of "riot needs 4-5 years of constant complains until they finally listen" is true. why did i ever come up with this joke when it happens to be true all the damn time. its like a curse...

It turns it off ENTIRELY I'm good with that. If it didn't self mute I'd have a problem with it.

I do hope it shows who has it off though.

Now just need an option to remove it all together... I get toxic sometimes and i know this. I have asked for option to turn it off like 5 years ago...

Damn... idk why i kinda dislike that. No biggy though. I just hope theres some sort of notifier that a player cant see your chat.
