Long-time LoL players are probably more familiar with the typical two-week patch cycle, but on the bright side, the extra time that the next update needs likely means good things as far as the new tweaks and features it will offer.

Among the most anticipated changes in Patch 9.14 are:

We’re adding a new interface option in 9.14"Show [Allied] chat" which will work very similarly to the “Show [All] chat” option that we already have (but for ally chat)If you’re a /mute all regular, this will persist from game to game

The upcoming patch will also allow users to disable the game’s allied chat feature. This will come in handy for users who prefer peace and quiet during gameplay. The updated feature will give players the option to enter matches with their teammates automatically muted.
