League of Legends – TL;DW: Team Voice, Classic & More Dev Update

• In Season 3 Act 2, we’re shining a special spotlight on music, with the first of our musical reveals coming tomorrow.
• In addition to the existing system that allows you to speak with your premade party, we’re expanding voice functionality to allow you to chat with everyone on your team.
• We’re implementing a wide range of tools for everyone who wants to try, including better noise cancellation, faster connection, and more stability.
• At the core, we want to make sure we provide appropriate moderation to keep up with the amount of people using it and we’ll be tying access to speaking to Honor level.
• We will only expand to servers where we’re confident we can support these properly, and we’re looking to continue improving the Honor system more broadly that way Honor better reflects in-game behavior.
• We’re also adding voice skins, which allow you to modify your voice. All current and future voice skins are designed to be clear and understandable, even in hectic teamfights.
• We’re starting with NA and Oceania in Patch 26.20 and will look to expand to more regions based on how things are going.
• On the Classic side, we just wrapped up the first Council vote and results will be posted soon.
• Visually, we’ve updated the lighting and map textures to be brighter and capture more of that Classic feel.
