Better Experience for Low Level Players

Takkle··1 votes·304 views

Greetings Riot Games and fellow Summoners,

I have a simple propositions for improvement of newcomer's experience vs AI :)

It is true that new players should be focused on the basics of the game and getting used to the controls, but at the same time another aspect of the game that is present in the actual PvP is missing ...

This being the Skins of the Heroes! New Players, playing games vs AI should get used to see the skin of the opposing side change regularly and not rely on "remembering the visual" of the hero as poster or ingame model, but instead remembering the hero's name and gameplay :) This would partly increase the learning requirements in the beginning ... But should smoothen the transition to the PvP where nowadays 90%+ of the players are using a skin during match and new players clash with the invisible wall of not recognizing the opponent.

Another aspect of the subject would be the "show off" factor of advertising early your hero skins. Players could reach faster the conversion points when they actually see some awesome skin ingame and aim faster to get it ... You get the monetization part ^_^

Best of regards, Summoner Takkle

It doesn't matter what skin the diamond smurf is using when he walks into a game full of level 4 players. That's the issue, not the cosmetics.

That's a completely different topic my friend :) Not going to say it's not an issue, but it's something that Riot should observe using tracking data and filter the player using their matchmaking algorithms ... so he gets his happy time vs level 30 faster.

Ignoring the smurfy case you mention, I still think AI should be using skins in order to improve early level learning curve.

Cheers, Summoner Takkle
