League of Legends adds team voice chat after 17 years, with moderation features

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

After 17 years, Riot Games is introducing team-wide voice chat to League of Legends, a feature previously limited to pre-made groups. This new functionality, rolling out first in North America and Oceania, aims to improve in-game coordination. To mitigate potential toxicity, Riot is implementing an Honor level requirement, restricting voice chat to players with Honor level 3 or higher. The company also plans to introduce customizable "voice skins" and has enhanced noise cancellation and connection stability with the update. AI
