What I wish the scoreboard (tab) window looked like

I'd like to start by saying I really like the direction the UI is headed, especially in regard to the scoreboard. There are two things that I would like to suggest as improvements.

I wish that Riot would consider arranging the scoreboard like such so that it is easier to quickly read CS differences in lanes as they will be closer together.

(see attached Photo)

Secondly, I love that I can arrange champions to match up their lanes, but I'd like it if the game at least half attempted to do this on load rather than spend X seconds doing it every game. Yes I realize when you have double smites etc it can be difficult to discern this, but at least some level of pre-sorting would be nice. I seem to remember a Rioter mentioning something like this before.

Good luck with the rest of the changes!

i cant b bothered to spend 5 seconds at the start of a game arranging something to how i like it, do it for me. at the same time why doesnt riot look into my game and decide my best build path and automatically buy items for me as well. why dont they win lane for me too.

That question mark, does it mean that those champions are not shown on your minimap? Would be kinda cool.

I agree with everything you say. Having things symmetrical makes more sense and it doesn't feel odd to me at all. IIRC this was the first approach Riot was taking with the scoreboard update, I wonder why they changed it to the current one in the end. Maybe because the items from right to left seem odd. (Btw, KDA should stay KDA, not ADK :p).

I also often forget to re-arrange the positions at the start of the game and then I don't bother doing it anymore because I have to focus on the game afterwards (unless I happen to think about it while I'm dead or heading back to lane). The system can analyze who went which lane, but I think it uses the first few minutes of gameplay to analyze it and can't do it yet during the loading phase. However, it could atleast try by making standard support and ADC guys at the bottom, prioritizing heal for ADC spot, smite for jungle, TP for top, etc. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate. But if you only had to drag 1 or 2 champs each game, it would be way better than 3 to 5.

Riot is already doing the ? Implementation, this is a picture I stole from s@20. The kda I forgot to flip. So you can already look forward to the ? For missing in an upcoming patch.
