Usually reasonable
A relevant invitation, shared once
Ask whether the player wants the link, identify the destination, use the real domain and accept “no” without arguing or repeating it.
Links, invites and conversation
Share once. Be clear. Keep accounts safe.
Use League chat to coordinate, invite or stay in touch. Explain where a genuine link leads, share it once and leave the choice with the other player.
A real link can still become spam. Repeated advertising, deception and requests for account details cross a different line.
Short answer
Are invite links allowed?
Can become disruptive
Unsolicited or repeated promotion
Posting the same server, stream or group repeatedly can disrupt chat and resemble spam, even when the destination itself is legitimate.
Never appropriate
Deception, phishing or credential requests
Do not disguise a destination, promise fake rewards, impersonate Riot or ask anyone for a password, recovery code, email access or payment details.
Choose the right place
Every channel still has conduct rules
Riot states that party chat follows the same conduct rules as ally, all, champion-select and post-game chat.
Party or lobby
Best for asking whether friends or invited teammates want a community or voice link.
Relevant social contextFriend message
Better than interrupting a match. Confirm the person and explain the destination before sending.
Direct and optionalIn-match chat
Keep it focused on the match. Save recruitment and external links for after play unless somebody explicitly asks.
Coordination firstPost-game
A brief invitation can fit after a positive game. One message is enough; do not chase or pressure players.
Ask, then leave spaceReady-to-edit examples
Make the destination and choice obvious
Replace the bracketed text. These examples reduce ambiguity; they do not guarantee that every context is appropriate.
Good game. Would you like an invite to our independent League group? It is optional: [full invite URL]
Voice is optional. If you want to join us, this is the full invite link: [full invite URL]
Would you like the group invite? No problem if not.
Before opening a link
Five quick safety checks
- 1Read the complete domain
Shortened or lookalike addresses hide where the browser will actually go.
- 2Do not sign in from an unsolicited message
Open Riot’s official site separately when an account action is required.
- 3Never share recovery or authentication codes
A community organiser, teammate or alleged Riot employee does not need them.
- 4Leave when the promise sounds impossible
Free RP, guaranteed skins, boosting and urgent account warnings are common pressure tactics.
- 5Mute, block or report harmful conduct
Do not continue an argument merely to collect more evidence.
Clear answers
Chat and link questions
Are Discord invite links automatically forbidden in League chat?
Riot’s published Terms do not describe every external link as an automatic violation. They do prohibit disruptive repeated spam, scams and social engineering. Share a legitimate invite once, in an appropriate social context, and stop if people are not interested.
Do party and champion-select chat have different conduct rules?
Riot says party chat follows the same conduct rules as other League chat channels, including ally, all, champion-select and post-game chat.
Should I click a shortened link from another player?
Treat unknown and shortened links cautiously. Riot says external sites are used at your own risk. Never enter Riot credentials, recovery codes or payment information after following an unsolicited link.
Can I repeatedly advertise my server after every match?
Repeated unsolicited promotion can disrupt conversation and resemble spam. Ask first, share once where relevant, and use established community or looking-for-group spaces for ongoing recruitment.

Why a chat channel may be unavailable
Honor 1 retains team and party chat. Champion-select and post-game chat become available at Honor 2; all chat requires Honor 3. Active penalties and your own settings can still limit chat.
