Should Riot implement an "LCS Prediction" game?

Hi folks,

I'm quite a big fan of competitive League and I love to challenge myself into guessing who is gonna take the games in the weekend. For this reason I loved World's "Pick'em", and I was wandering: why stop there? What if Riot was to implement some kind of game that revolves around predicting the outcome of regular split's games?

An example could be a section in the client that allows you to go and set your predictions, ranging from "who wins" to "who gets first blood" or "first brick" in the different games. Getting predictions right might give you some Blue Essences, icons/emotes or key fragments for instance. Or maybe there could be a section where you select your favorite player or favorite team and you get to predict how the player/team will perform. Or maybe it could be linked to the "missions system", so you would have stuff like "guess the right outcome of 3 games".

I think there would be some benefits from it:

  1. Those who don't follow Esports would be encouraged into doing so
  2. Those who already follow them would probably enjoy the mini-game as they would get to use their knowledge about competitive LoL
  3. It could be a way to promote events and other stuff within league
  4. This would encourage people to watch games of last place teams as well: very often we only care about the "big names", with a prediction game, people would be interested in games that feature minor teams.

What do you guys think? Would there be any downside to it? Do you have any ideas on how Riot could implement that?

They might as I would never say never but I doubt Riot will do this. I said something similar about a Season "Pick em" but got no answer and that was close to 3 years ago but I kept at it for about a year 1/2 and still got 0 responses from Riot.

  • I also remember seeing some posts about a "Game of the week" vote from fans as some fans wonder which games are worth watching and wanted a vote system on such games.

Things that I personally would love!

Season pick em's (NA/EU) - I hope LPL/LCK/LMS could be apart but idk if Riot can.

  • It would so easy to just create some type of game like "pick em" so again, it could happen but it's too far from Riot's mindset honestly.

Season stat prediction - Be able to predict players' stats for the split. Could also have game modes like

  • "Which player will have the most kills, deaths, assists, cs" -"Which team will have the most dragons, barons, etc etc etc -Averages etc

NA - Eu ALL TIME STAT BOARD

  • Literally been asking for this since 2013 and won't stop until this game dies(2013-2020?) I would like Riot to keep up2date and actually SHOW the players all time stats in the regular season. What's the point in making League into an E-sport and make it as professional as real sports when they can't keep up with their own products stats?

  • Overall, Loki - You are wasting your time and effort, dude. If you want Riot(NA/EU) to do something, you gotta contact Korea first and tell them so they can possibly do it first, then Riot(NA/EU) will do what they do best and just "copy paste".
