LoL Chat Commands: Full List, All Chat and Mute Commands

League of Legends has a set of slash commands you type into the in-game chat box. They let you mute players, whisper friends, start a surrender vote, call a remake and trigger your champion's emotes without opening any menus. Here's the full list from Riot's support pages, plus how to turn All Chat on or off and how to block someone for good.

How to use chat commands

Press Enter to open the chat box, type the command, and press Enter again to send it. Commands that target a player need that player's name after the command, for example /mute PlayerName.

If you forget a command mid-game, type /help. It lists every command with a short description.

Which mute command should you use?

The mute commands overlap, so here's when each one fits:

• One teammate is flaming: /mute PlayerName. You still see their pings, which are often useful.
• One teammate is spamming pings: /muteping PlayerName.
• You never want to hear from that player again: /ignore PlayerName, which carries over to future games.
• The whole game is getting heated: /ignore all hides everyone's chat, pings and emotes for the rest of the match.
• You want to focus without the team thinking you've gone silent for no reason: /muteself or /deafen. Both tell your team what you did.

You can also mute without typing. Hold Tab to open the scoreboard, and next to each player's items you'll find three icons for muting their emotes, pings or everything. In champion select, hover over a player's name to mute them.

How to use All Chat

All Chat sends your message to both teams. New accounts start with All Chat turned off, so you won't see the enemy team's messages until you enable it.

To turn All Chat on:

1. In a game, press Esc to open Options.
2. Go to the Interface tab.
3. Scroll to the Chat section.
4. Check Show [All] Chat (Matched Games).

To send an All Chat message with Point & Click controls, press Shift + Enter. The chat box starts with /all for you. Typing /all before your message does the same thing.

If you play with WASD controls, the All Chat shortcut is Ctrl + Enter instead. Riot changed it in patch 26.10 because Shift is the default key for your second ability under WASD.

How to turn off team chat

If you'd rather not read team chat at all, you can hide it for this game and future ones:

1. Press Esc in a game.
2. Open the Interface tab.
3. In the Chat section, uncheck Show [Allied] Chat.

It stays off until you turn it back on. If you try to type to your team while it's hidden, the game asks whether you want to change the setting.

Muting vs. blocking

Muting only works inside the game. It ends when the match ends (unless you used /ignore), and a muted player can still send you invites and messages afterward.

Blocking goes further. A blocked player:

• Can't send you friend requests, invites or private messages
• Is removed from your friends list
• Has their messages hidden from you in champion select, in game and in lobbies
• Triggers a notice if you're matched with them again

Blocked players are muted automatically, but muted players aren't blocked automatically.

How to block a player

• From your friends list: right-click their name and choose Block.
• From match history: open your Profile, go to Match History, select the game, right-click the player and choose Block.
• From the block list: click the settings gear in the top-right of the client, open Block List, search for the player's name and click Block.

Players are identified by their Riot ID. If someone has renamed, search for their new name. Our guide to changing your Riot ID explains how names and taglines work.

Surrender and remake votes

/ff and /remake only work at certain times. Typing /ff starts a surrender vote, and teammates vote yes or no in the pop-up that appears. Since patch 25.15, surrender and remake votes stay open for 25 seconds, down from 60.

/remake is meant for games where a teammate never loads in or goes AFK in the first couple of minutes. It has a short time window and some extra rules, and the player who caused it is penalized.

Chat and penalties

Everything you type in chat, including party chat, is held to Riot's Community Pact. Players who keep breaking it can lose the ability to chat in games for a number of days. You'll still see your team's messages and can still use pings, but you can't type.

Riot's own advice for avoiding chat penalties is simple: mute people the moment you feel like answering them, and report bad behavior after the game instead of arguing.

Frequently asked questions

How do you mute all chat in League of Legends?

Type /ignore all to mute every player's chat, pings and emotes for the rest of the game. To hide team chat in future games too, press Esc, open Interface and uncheck Show [Allied] Chat.

How do you talk to the enemy team in LoL?

Use All Chat. First enable it under Esc > Interface > Chat > Show [All] Chat (Matched Games), then press Shift + Enter, or Ctrl + Enter if you use WASD controls, or type /all before your message.

What is the command to surrender in League of Legends?

Type /ff, /surrender, /concede or /forfeit. The command starts a surrender vote, or casts your yes vote if one is already running.

What's the difference between /mute and /ignore in LoL?

/mute silences a player's chat for the current game only. /ignore mutes that player in the current game and in future games as well.

Does /muteself tell my team?

Yes. Both /muteself and /deafen notify your team. /deafen also hides other players' messages from you.

Where do /note messages go?

They're saved to a text file called MyNotes.txt. It's a quick way to jot down something about a matchup or a player without leaving the game.
