League of Legends: Clubs are being removed

League of Legends Clubs are about to be removed, like recently announced the development team Riot Games. The service, which allows players of the title MOBA to create persistent teams in the game, with options for group chat and functions for playing matches together, was introduced in 2016 but now it will be closed "in the next future". The development team Riot Games gave the unexpected announcement, as already mentioned at the beginning of the article. Here are the statements on the matter:

The tools to develop, nurture and manage communities have come a long way over the years. The developers have spent decades helping players connect with each other in new and innovative ways. What started as text / voice chat support has evolved into a suite of feature-rich game-centric tools that help players communicate between games, stream live gameplay with each other, and coordinate subsequent sessions. We will never create a community tool that surpasses industry leaders.

But now we need to focus on spaces where we can offer a truly great experience for all of you in the future. Spaces like fighting game-ruining behavior, finally improving our client, reworking our item system, or building new ways to play. Other people are on the spot when it comes to building amazing community management systems. We need to focus on ways we can uniquely meet your needs.

League of Legends Clubs should be removed "during the pre-season at the end of 2020". Meanwhile, Riot claims he is partnering with Discord to help make the transition easier for Club members who want to keep their teams together in the game.
