Riot Games is removing voice chat functionality from League of Legends in patch 26.20. The feature will no longer be available to players.
Riot Games announced the removal of voice chat from League of Legends effective in patch 26.20. The decision ends the company's voice communication feature for the popular MOBA.
Details on the reasoning behind the removal remain limited, though Riot has historically maintained voice chat as an optional feature in the game. Players currently using voice chat will need to rely on alternative communication methods such as team pings, text chat, or third-party applications like Discord.
This change affects all regions where League of Legends operates. Riot has not indicated whether this removal is temporary or permanent, nor has the company announced plans to reintroduce the feature in future patches.
The removal marks a notable shift in Riot's approach to in-game communication tools for its flagship title.
