Chat rooms need a visibility update and filtering.

Recently I've found myself enjoying the game much more just playing normal games with friends. Seeing, however, that I don't have many who won't piss themselves after losing a game (I need some new friends), I went looking through some chat groups to find some players. After a quick google, lo and behold, I find 'looking for group'. About 10 mins pass before I enter, and when I enter, it is dead silent. About 1/4th of the players actually aren't even online with a red name, another 1/3 or so are ingame, and the remaining 5/12ths are dead silent. Perhaps this can be fixed?

So the room is constantly filled with afker's, people already ingame, and people who aren't talking. Possible fixes to filter out placeholders for people actually looking to game with others:

• Automatically remove anyone who is afk with a redname.

• Automatically remove anyone who has entered a match.

• Put in a 5 min timer with a popup, asking players with white names who haven't spoken if they are at their computer. If not, remove them. Hopefully this would allow the chat to be filtered out a bit more and allow players who want to play with others to be able to find a group and play.

  Another problem is the** complete lack of knowledge that these channels even exist**. You've got these chat rooms with available player capacity of 200 - Obviously league isn't a clan game, so they need to be endorsed/advertised by riot to make their existence known.

• Seeing as Riot is pushing for a more team-based game, they could have a page linked in the client which shows a live view of the top 1000 chats, their names, and how full they are.

TL;DR The chatrooms need a filtering method, removing those who are visibly afk (red named) or ingame, and also needs to have a bit of advertising, perhaps with riot endorsation so that there are constantly well filtered and clean rooms for finding players to play with. This advertising would also make it so more players realized there is a place to find players to play with.

Thoughts and recommendations welcome!
