Riot adds team voice chat to League of Legends after 17 years

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Riot Games has introduced team-wide voice chat to League of Legends after 17 years, a feature previously limited to pre-made groups. The rollout begins in North America and Oceania with Patch 26.20, with potential expansion to other regions like Korea and Latin America based on its success. To mitigate potential toxicity, Riot has implemented an Honor level requirement, ensuring only players with Honor level 3 or higher can speak, while others can still listen. The update also includes enhancements to noise cancellation and stability, with future plans for "voice skins" to modify player audio. AI

IMPACT Minimal direct impact on AI operations; primarily a gaming feature update.
