May we have a "Random" button?
Before I begin, lemme add some other game context:
I'm someone who is usually pretty open about what I play. I have a handful of champs I know very well/play often (Vi, Kayn, Zac, Sej, etc.) but I'm also a pretty indecisive person. I don't really lock myself into whatever I want to play and really don't mind winning or losing, so long as I'm just playing. A long time ago, League had a random button. It got removed due to the random being used as troll-tool. ("lol you wont let me jungle so ima random lock in")
For another game comparison, DOTA2 has a random button. By using it, you're given a random hero. To offset not picking, you're instead given a gold bonus.
With that little bit out of the way, I want to add that I'm not looking for a true random button. I get that it can be a troll tool so I'll pass on it. I also get that DOTA's random bonus gold could really piss people off, so I'm not going to suggest that. What I would like, however, is the option for us to have one of three random buttons...or hell, just have all three:
- Random Favorite: You're randomly given a character from your "favorites" pool for the game.
- Random Role: You're randomly given a character from those with this role.
- Random Mastery: You're randomly given a character from those with Mastery 4 or higher.
In doing so it could serve as an easy way for guys like myself to pick a champion when not particularly caring about team comp or playstyle in norms. I would also say that this should be disabled in ranked/clash/etc, as those modes mean more and you should be preparing for it. (But leave it in the LCS for those moments where NA wants to make a spectacle of themselves like they always fucking do).
Lemme know what you guys think.
