[quote=PsiGuard][center][img=https://na.leagueoflegends.com/sites/default/files/styles/wide_medium/public/upload/t2clientcard.png width=650][/center] [url=https://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/news/game-updates/features/parties-level]Source by Xaafira[/url] Playing League with your friends is about to get easier. Introducing the new Open Party system and the advent of built-in voice chat for premade groups coming in patch 8.6! More details below. [size=5]Open Parties[/size] [rule2] [center][url=https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2018/march/premadevoice/en-us-premadevoice-1.jpg][img=https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2018/march/premadevoice/en-us-premadevoice-1.jpg width=550][/url][/center] Game lobbies will now automatically be set to Open, allowing anyone from your friend's list to join the lobby. Anyone in your lobby will also display the lobby to their friends list, allowing friends of friends to join up as well. Queue restrictions will remain the same but this will make it easier to fill up your lobby without having to invite each of your friends manually. If you don't want your party to be open to all your friends, you can turn the feature off using a button toggle. Closed parties will still allow you to invite any particular friends you want to be able to join you. The client will remember your setting for next time. [size=5]Voice Chat for Parties[/size] [rule2] As of patch 8.6, you'll now automatically join an in-client voice chat with anyone in your premade group. Joining a party (or hosting one and having a friend join) will automatically connect you to voice chat and you'll remain connected for as many games as you play together. You will only be able to hear (and be heard by) anyone in your party and you can adjust the volume settings of each of your friends by pressing Tab in game.

[quote=Sunndae]Okay good, so I can mute that awfully loud one.[/quote]

[quote=FelipeDC]Great, now I can hear my friends raging all the game up :v Seriously tho, that could be very usefull! Thank god that it doesn't work with entire team, and only premade friends <3[/quote]

[quote=Nemesis5451]Omg it's finally here XD Thank god it's only for premades tho, interested to see how this plays out[/quote]

[quote=Jovy]I like the open party thing but voice-chat seems silly because premades will always just use discord (or skype/TS if they're animals) anyway.[/quote]
