Weird how the reaction on HN is so much different from the reaction on reddit where everyone is angry at riot for this decision. I am very much sad to see /all chat go, and I see no reason to remove it since it was already opt in. Most toxicity is in team chat, not all chat. The only "toxicity" in all chat that happens regularly is your own team saying "rep [insert lane]" and a "gg ez" at the end of the game which shouldn't bother anyone sane at this point. Sucks that now will be no way to communicate with the other team except emotes and dances. Stop taking the fun out of the internet, god damn it.

The opt-in part is clearly being missed and is a huge piece of the equation.

All chat isn't a problem if you didn't explicitly go into the menu to turn it on in the first place... this also means there is a convenient way to turn it back off.

For me, this all amounts to virtue signaling by Riot towards the broader community regarding their ongoing war against toxicity.
