Add "Preferred Lane" Icons in Draft Queues During Champ Select

I know i'm not alone when I say that many people do not like the idea of having to know multiple roles to feel satisfied in draft queues. Having known multiple roles more or less guarantees that you are less bummed out about not having your preferred role because you can at least do the other ones available.

However Having a lane/role preference is more than just about picking your favorite champ and ideal situation all the time, it's about being in your element. I think in Draft queues players should at least be able to market their preferred positions, and show their team what strengths they bring to the table.

These icons as such would do the following:

  • Have a specific design for each role/lane (Top Lane, Mid Lane, Bot Lane, Jungle)
  • Toggle to a window with more specified information regarding that players lane experience; showing 3 most played champs in the lane, KDA, and preferred summoner spells.

This would then make it possible for the team to actually deliberate and make informed decisions about who would go where and even what to ban for the overall success for the team. Of course there will be instances where players wont get their preferred role despite the team having access to this information. There will be instances where 2 or more players on the same team would share a preferred role and it may come down to who is ultimately better or has the benefit of pick order.

The Point of having something like this isn't to ensure that you get your desired role, it's to give resources to teams in draft so they can deliberate and formulate together as a team. I'm a firm believer that at the end of the day good team play and coordination wins games in League. Team chemistry can always be improved and this could help that. Thoughts?

I wouldn't show KDA because in gold and lower... People just don't know how to value KDAs in that low of elos. In gold is where the value starts to go up, but KDA showing can be extremely toxic in lower elos and will breed a new I'm better than you attitude I would really prefer to not see.
