I voted for the first option but then decided the 2nd is the best. For tournaments etcetere it's nice to also send other users a message like 'We have a match... accept meee!'

Bear in mind that this is about in-game chat, i.e. messages you send while you take your turn. Attaching custom messages to friends request is an interesting idea, though.

I'm all for limiting it to friends only, having the ability to type and send messages. I'd also wouldn't mind seeing a preset list to also send to friends (quick type). I could do without random people spamming me, though.

Both friends and random opponents. So many times I would have liked to say "Hey man nice round, you whooped me" Or "Ouch that has got to hurt!" or something to strike up some conversation. I've added several friends I simply can't talk too but play with all the time. Canned answers are no good, they never cover the "range" of emotions/expressions one would want to say. Free typed messages to friends and randoms +1

Chose the only friends options. Just so all the ppl afraid of flaming can avoid it. It could be preset that you can write your friends and perhaps an option against randoms. Both have to agree on chat. Dunno if that is too much a fuzz

Second option, as long as there's options to block people who think abusing chat (and chatting abuse) is hilarious and not at all obnoxious.

I would vote for the second point too, but I would like to be able to set a) as an option, as well as a possibility to just mute specific players and I do not understand how this excludes the 2 other options: some customizable presets like "enjoy the game" "good game" and "thanks for the game" "revange?" would not hurt as well - and you could just load them up into the textbox and add some personal text, like loading up "enjoy the game" and editing it to "enjoy the game - did we play before?" or "thanks for the game" to "thanks for the game, you surprised me with blabla" or "revange?" to "revange? - same settings and teams?" well I think I do not need to elaborate any further, I will take "other" :D

Sending chat messages to friends and random opponent in game and in the friends list is a GREAT IDEA!!! Just like MOBA type of games, if you don't like that guy you don't have to reply! If that guy is verbally offensive, maybe the dev. can add in a report player button? :D
