I think its time that you share, even if premature, what's the solutions and the goal target patches for these feature. Its not good enough to say working on it and then 360 no scope my all chat while still only handing out chromas for 6-12 months of excellent behaviour that is required to attain honor level 5.
This /all chat feature removal is simply a punishment for the minority of players that are good-sports and enjoy talking to opponents in healthy way, with some reasonable and good spirited banter. Why not tie /all to high honor levels and actually make these honor levels both easier to achieve and easier to lose?
Not Meddler, but can talk a little bit about what we're looking at.
The main thing is a large, centralized, improved system of text evaluation that will cut across all Riot Games. It's very exciting tech.
But it's not ready yet. And until it is, we have to deal with the realities that we see in our games today, and those realities are pretty upsetting right now.
We're committed to doing the right thing here, but as you rightly ascertained it is a minority of players that will be negatively impacted here. We suspect the general impact will be positive to neutral.
Depending on how everything shakes out, we're open to future changes in this space.
Until then, GL HF and GG
