[Suggestion]: Messaging within the Boards

Hello Rioters and Community members! I figure that this idea has already been suggested, but I would like to push this a bit more. As an active member of the Skin & Champion Concepts board, the need for Messaging becomes more and more needed with collaboration between those working on concepts/projects together, or between contest hosts, contestants, and judges. This feature could be useful for other Boards which utilize collaboration as well.

I would think that the Messaging ought to have two main features: One-On-One, and **Group **chats:

• One-On-One would be best for simple issues, or idle chat. A contestant for an MCCC/CCOS has a question they are embarrassed to ask openly, or two friends want to collaborate on a project for Community Creations, or two Summoners wish to talk about their Fantasy LCS line-ups without a dozen other people joining in. It could be as simple as seeing a Summoner's name, or going to their profile, and either right clicking for a "chat" option, or their be a button or something to click on the page for it.

• **Group ** chats pose a larger version of a similar concept. Instead of the Summoner who wants to start the chat going to invite a lone person, they would click to create a chat group, and be able to search up other Summoners they want to talk to and invite them to the group chat. This could be ideal for League Teams, Contests and Judges, and similar situations.

Anyway, this is what I have thought out. Thanks to all the times who take the time to look at it, or participate in the discussion. Be sure to let me know your thoughts!
