I've came up with some suggestions for Clubs, but want your ideas too
I think that Clubs are really cool. Like hella cool. It's a nice way to organize and have fun with people that you want to, and maybe even fan clubs that are more select.
I do, however, think that they're a little undeveloped.
They offer nothing other than a way to organize. With what I have in mind, they could be so much more.
Firstly, clubs should be, in a way, a more casual version of a ranked team. You could organize club wide tournaments, have club vs club matches, and rather than a rating system for them, they'll just have a record. Hopefully this wont increase toxicity among clubs. :^)
Also, clubs could have a sort of giveaway system, where members could donate small amounts of RP towards a mystery skin or something that's randomly give to any member. I understand that this could be abused, and goes against Riots money money dollar bill marketing beliefs, but the introduction of crates and stuff makes me thing otherwise.
A big thing that I had in mind was having a "Club Bank". If you couldn't tell, I'm hoping that clubs could essentially function as a more casual version of a Guild. Basically the same way that a Bank would function, players could dump RP or IP into it, or skin rentals or full skins (IP/EXP boosts too). Taking skins without permission could result in bans from the club and maybe in severe causes account bans.
I think that clubs could have "Club quests" or something. Maybe with something akin to daily quests where playing a champion or winning x amount of games with club members will grant a sum of IP to the bank or a bonus in game. They'd be only available once a day, so the rewards would slowly accumulate.
A karma system within clubs would be cool too. Imagine that members could give karma I have no idea how and this would put them as top rated members in the club, and make them more likely to win giveaways. Yes, this can also be abused, but I doubt it would happen and the boost would mediocre at best.
On a final note, It'd be cool to have an icon representing the group. Maybe it could be simple, with two primary colours for representation. Obviously it'd have to be chosen by preset icons, knowing how abused that'd get. Maybe as clubs grow in size the icons could get more complex, but for now I think something simple would work.
So... That's really it! I mean obviously these are just the surface and there are potentially more ideas to be brewed, but for now these ideas are what I thought would be initially included in the clubs, since Riot is seeming to try to make the game more social. Clubs could be a lot more, they just need to be expanded upon. (So why shouldn't we try to kickstart that?)
Also - This has been on reddit, but has gotten little attention. I just want to see if anyone here likes the ideas I've proposed and if there's anything else you'd like to add. :V
