Friend list feature request

It would be really nifty if it were possible to add notes to people that you have added or a note to be put on them when they accept your request.

Given that most of the people on my friends list are ones that I have met in-game, I usually end up putting a note on them with something along the lines of:

04/05/2016 - Aram: Their Champ with My Champ - Win or 04/05/2016 - Norm: Their Champ vs My Champ - Loss

That way I can remember who they are and where they came from. The issue is, not everyone accepts friend requests right away. So after a game, or two, there will be several more people on my friends list that are unaccounted for. Since there is not an easy way to tell which game you and another person played together in, it makes it very difficult to track down why I added the person.

There are several ways to resolve this issue, one of which I've mentioned. But here they are in detail:

Add a note on request: Essentially what this would do, is allow you to set a custom note to be set if and when the person accepts. This would be very intensive if processed as a queue, but it could also be stored permanently then deleted if the added user declines the request.

Add notes to recently played: Exactly what it sounds like, the ability to add notes to people you have recently played with. That way, if you run into a team mate that you really enjoyed previously, you'll know it right away. Again, exponential increase in potential data usage and not very useful considering how often you actually run into the same people multiple times. But if you exclusively play custom games or at a high enough elo to see the same users, this may be pretty nifty if you want to remember people without cluttering up your friends list.

View which game you met in: This would allow you to view which game you and any friend you have first met in. It would eliminate the need for notes to sort your friends list, and also allow you to find people that worked well with you previously in-game. IE: If the person supported your Marksman or if they were a good Jungler. In the best case scenario, at maximum it would add 20 pieces of data linking each user ID to a game ID.

Overall, it would be really helpful to have an easier way to remember people that you don't necessarily talk to or play with every day. Otherwise, they end up as random users without context as to who they are or where we know each other from.

Bumping for feedback.

The clubs were a good step toward the goal of more organized ways of playing with people frequently, but there is no way to make the tags in the optional and you cannot stop the group chat from automatically opening when you log in.

Plus, it shouldn't be necessary to create a club or group of people for every game you play to sort out who you added from it.
