To toxic - Riot deactivates the / all

Online games are full of toxic behavior, the players who just want to have fun spoil the experience. In order to curb the verbal abuse in League of Legends, Riot Games decided to deactivate the / all-chat for public matches - at least temporarily . This feature offers players the opportunity to communicate with the opposing team and can be a source of funny jokes. Game Director Andrei Van Roon and Lead Game Producer Jeremy Lee, however, wrote in their announcement that due to the increase in evaluation in the game this year, the negative interactions predominantly outweigh the positive.

The teams will continue to see the emotes and the Ctrl + 1-2-3-4 spam of others, and the change has no impact on the chat function between allies. Riot knows that there are still verbal insults in team chats and that the step of this behavior will not be completely banished from the game. However, the developer keeps the team chat too important to disable him as it is used by the players to develop strategies and coordinate their actions.

According to polygon, the reactions to the change were largely negative, as many players reported by the funny experiences they made them with players from opposing teams. Some even claim that most toxic behavior takes place instead in team chats. Van Roon has now clarified on Twitter that the plan is to test the change for a few patches, starting with patch 11.21, and then the players ask for feedback. Depending on the feedback, Riot could decide to maintain or reverse the change, although in some regions in which the reaction is largely positive, they could also be maintained
