Request - Ability to make groups of champions for champ select

Wardancer·1/12/2015, 9:47:24 PM·35 votes·2,339 views

I am writing this as a feature request and hope this is the right place.

Riot, a good feature for you to add to the client would be custom groups for the champ select window. The idea behind this would be to allow people to easily see a group of champs for whatever match/position they are in. For people like me who own all champs, trying to pick an appropriate champ while skimming through the whole list can be a pain and makes it easy to forget someone who may have been better.

Example: User is in a draft match for SR. Through whatever means, they are given the role of top. They don't play top often, but they are familiar with champs that work there. The user could select a drop down built into the champions label and select a previously created list of their preferred top champs.

I would find this very helpful as there are alot of champs I like, but also forget about cause they are not a main of mine. Plus, there are alot of champs that I really don't need to see cause I don't like them or suck with them. I mostly want this for ranked, but people could use it anywhere.

Good idea? Refinement ideas?

Love it. This has been my most wanted feature for a while. Would help me a lot, seeing as I "main" fill.

One suggestion. There should also be a list for your preferred bans that you can save (this wasn't my idea, it was a response to a similar post I've made before). I've always hated having to ban, and not having to scramble to ban champs just to forget the one I hate most would help immensely.

My thing is I want to make 1 group for the champs I am comfortable with in ranked, so it makes it real easy to pick. I always forget about champs like Panth, Talon, Sivir, Swain, etc when it comes time to pick, unless I get the change to lolcounter and get reminded there.

Really, if they would allow you to create your own search tags for your local client, that would be great!

Places ward and walks away.

Warded again due to almost falling off the first page.

Bump. I may have to try that and have a copy/paste setup.

Still want it in client though

Definitely think if they allowed people to create their own tags for champs(like how they have support, tank, etc) it would solve all this. You could attach a search tag for your preferred champs and a search tag for your ban champs. Win-Win.

Great idea man. I find it constantly annoying when i decide I want to go mid for example, and have every champion and play all of them at a decent skill level as a mid main.

Just look up the list of all champions and make lists for yourself. Who is good for this, who is good for that. That is the best thing you can do. I would not expect that Riot implements this feature in foreseeable time.

Alternatively there's a search bar for names and 4 other people to ask the opinions of.

i thought of the same thing

I don't pick them regularly and forget them easily. Its alot easier to remember the champs you are okay with when you are just sitting there looking at the champs. Not quite the same when your filling and the person ahead of you isn't talking or picking yet. On that list, I only remember 4 or 5 of them when in champ select.

Wardancer1/15/2015, 4:36:45 PM1 votes

I need it cause I know some champs I regularly play, but forget others. Currently, Panth is my go to for top, but that is cause I always forget about the rest. Half the time I only get reminded of a champ from lolcounter if my team gives me enough time to actually research who I should play.

I try to base my pick off of counter and what the team needs, but when you don't have time to look for your best pick it can be frustrating. I love Wu, but forget him so often and kick myself sometimes when the game is loading and realized he would have been a better pick. That is my issue, I forget the champs I don't main. Currently my "mains" are Nami Caitlyn Zyra , but they are not always the best pick.

People have been asking about this forever, usually takes a third party app to get Riot to implement this kind of feature

Last bump, in hopes for more votes and maybe a red to actually say something on the feasibility of this.

Maybe Frosthaven?

Or they could set up a sort function that lets you put them into marksmen, bruiser, ect. just as a default. custom groups would be great too

Necro bump. I actually tried to send a support ticket to see if there was a possibility they would let me know where I could maybe edit this. Instead I get a template response :/ I would have atleast been happy if they replied saying we dont support modifying the client files, cause that makes sense.

Is there a way to change the tags for champions or create new tags on my local client? I would like to either be able to change the champions associated to the default tags or just make new tags and associate champs to them. The only thing I could easily read in the client was Riot Games\League of Legends\RADS\projects\lol_air_client\releases\0.0.1.157\deploy\assets\data\champions which appeared to list tags, but no association. I know its not a supported request to change files, was just hoping there was something local that would help with me organizing my ranked champs.

Thanks, Chris H
