QoL - Champions with apostrophes in their name shouldn't require apostrophes in the search bar

UltraGigaNiga··154 votes·2,985 views

In my last champion select, I typed in "velkoz" and sat there wondering why nothing showed up for about 3 seconds before finally realizing it was because I had no apostrophe. By the time I deleted up to the "vel" part I ran out of time and I was kicked from the champion select.

Yes I know that the simple solution to this would be to just type up the letters up to the point before the apostrophe but I personally just have a habit of typing the entire name to completely isolate the champion icon so that I don't misclick. I know this is a very minor thing that not many people relate with but it'd be a nice change for a few people who screw up like me and get punished for 3 LP :(

EDIT: Also it would be awesome if champions with commonly used abbreviations (TF, MF) could appear when you simply just type the abbreviations

you can just write an apostrophe in the search bar and you will automatically see all champions with an apostrophe in their names.

Downvoting for not understanding the joke.

Because it was a bad joke.

Knowing this is NA, i'm expecting at least 30 downvotes for being "salty".

At least 30 people thought it was a good joke! And lol, you people are all the same. "I'm expecting downvotes for [whatever fake reason makes me feel superior]", when you actually just get downvoted for...well, being a pointless %%%%.

rtbf2061059051 votes

No, actually. Because NA Boards are highly populated, unlike EU Boards, people downvote for the slightest amount of "salt" in their picture-perfect worlds.

Well i can't speak for all of NA, but personally i just up/down vote based on whether or not I like the poster's tone. I dont really like yours.

In other words, noone can take people seriously because it's "salty".

So, you're acknowledging that people are downvoting you because people don't like your post. I'm not entirely sure where you see the problem with that.

I was actually making fun of how many people downvote for almost nothing on NA Boards.

Drackolus1 votes

What do you think "salt" means?

rtbf2061059051 votes

I usually take that as a whiny person or someone who gets frustrated and angry at others easily.

On these Boards, i get downvoted for being realistic and not sugarcoating.

Drackolus1 votes

I always thought "salty" was anyone being mad or upset at anything. Urban dictionary appears to bave the same definition as I, but that could easily have been written by somebody who is also wrong.

rtbf2061059051 votes

Seems like noone really means what it means. It's used every time something is not sugar-coated....ugh "salty".

Leave OUR CONTINET!!! spelt it wrong :P

It's what you get for messin about with us NAers, we kinda like our fresh, re-branded salt. Don't we?

Yeah, it gets everywhere.

On that note, when there's only one option showing up, pressing "Enter" should select that option. I find it ridiculous that it clears the search.

Enter should not clear the search. I bet 70% of all Aatrox bans are because of this.

To the guys arguing that I can just type " ' ", I don't think you caught the "quality of life" part. I'm just looking for convenience.

It's a pretty small "QoL" change.... it's really minor. This is appropriate : [zombie-brand-facepalm]

I mean qol or laziness changes if you look at your screen for the 60 seconds it takes to pick a champion I don't think you should be playing league lol almost like that moment you can't get past the menu to play the game

Interesting. The item shop uses the abbreviation system a lot of players use, like "IE", it's strange why they haven't added this for champion select as well. Also, I'm sorry for that 3 LP, you must've been incredibly unlucky because of that :(

Because using a keyboard properly is difficult.

All champions with an apostrophe can be singled out by typing just the letters up to the apostrophe.

No because that makes it too easy R

Velkoz : Vel KogMaw : Kog Chogath : Cho RekSai : Rek Khazix : Kha...or even just kh

You don't need their full name. Just correct spelling of a part of their name.

Maybe practice on your grammar?

Actually, Gangplank shows up if you type in GP. No other champions can be searched using their initials that I'm aware of.
