Quality of Life request: Make Ranked Duo's visible in Loadscreen

Escheton·Jan 16, 2017·6 votes·480 views

Having your opposing laner and the jungler on teamspeak while you are solo is bad. But it's manageable if you know about it. You can play more safely expecting extra attention or whatever. And knowing this about your own team-mates at load-in can also help alleviate certain behavioral differences between solo players and buddies. You can shift expectations and play accordingly.

And while some duo'd people share a club and you can kinda tell from that sometimes, it is far from always.

Why not add a little icon indicating who is playing together? With there being 2 types, so if it's a 2-2-1 (or 2-3 in flex) both are distinctly visable.

No, this also gives you game advantage. If you know someone is part of a duo, you can easily target that enemy in game and bait his friend into coming to his aid, dragging his friend from where ever he is on the map.

And having a jungler that would camp the shit out of his friend's lane is not an advantage?

No, because while 2 people on TeamSpeak benefits just them, everyone would take advantage of the knowledge of who's together if that were a thing. 5 people would have an advantage knowing who to target if they were trying to agitate a duo.

Then the duo is the one who has to play around it as they chose to play duo and not the solo player. What you are suggesting is letting the duo have advantage and punish the solo player since he won't get the same attention from his jungler.

And btw in most games by the time team fights start ppl most likely know if there's a duo in game cuz ganking a lane 3 or 4 times even though the jungler doesn't get anything from these ganks pretty much tells it .this information will only help the solo laner to prevent the first 2 or 3 ganks before he notices that they're a duo.
