Riot Games delays League of Legends team voice chat feature
Riot Games announced a delay to the launch of team voice chat in League of Legends for select regions scheduled for patch 26.20.
Feature launch pushed back
The studio posted on social media that the addition has been delayed from the October release. Riot stated the decision was made to meet the quality bar its community deserves. No revised timeline for when the feature will arrive in-game has been shared yet.
Reasons for the pause
Developers did not give a specific reason for the reversal beyond the desire for higher quality. Some observers suggest issues around moderation or honor level requirements might be involved. The game is known for toxic in-game behavior, which could complicate voice communication.
