Riot Games plans to shut down the “Clubs” from League of Legends. In a recent blog post, Riot Games has discovered why exactly Clubs is being removed from League of Legends.
Its removal was also announced on their official Twitter profile. According to the company’s official statement, it’s all about the evolution of other community services, potentiating Discord, and its successful tools to sustain a community.
Tools to develop, cultivate, and manage communities have come a long way over the years. From TeamSpeak to Ventrilo to Mumble to Discord, developers have spent decades helping players connect with each other in new, innovative ways. What began as support for text/voice chat has evolved into a suite of feature-rich, gaming-focused tools that help players communicate across games, livestream gameplay to each other, and coordinate their next sessions.
We're sunsetting Clubs on the League Client and League+ mobile app.
