This change literally ruined my twitch experience. I thought it was due to addons, or an older PC, but with no addons and even on a brand new high end machine the performance tanks when spamming emotes.
Clearly this was a feature designed by people who don't actually watch and participate in popular twitch stream chats.
By the way, this is obviously something they could easily make optional or disable again, because if you use /me before the emotes it prevents the conversion process and is easy to spam, but since that makes text italic it isn't a perfect workaround
