In Overwatch we clearly see who is premade, in League we can see clubs but that's not a guaranteed way to check for premades? I would like to know if my lane opponent and jungler are premade so I can plan for their likely camp. Or if their bot lane is a premade so I know they're going to work well together.
Maximum Morde4 votesRiot took it out because they don't want people knowing just how broken their game is for solo players.
Zero Skill Tank1 votesI used to ask for it too, but now I understand this is wrong.
The point is, if solo players see who premades are, premades also get info who is solo on enemy team and will know to abuse them.
General Esdeath 2 votesThey can already do that with club tags. And they can tell by which lanes aren't getting ganks from the enemy jungler.
Locke Daemonfire1 votesMy feeling is that it tilts some people unnecessarily when they see premades, so they don't show them. If you think you will get useful information without being negatively affected, here's what I do to check premades. During the loading screen, go to your op.gg and open your live game. Open the person you want to check, for instance lane opponent, and compare the 'recently played with' list on the left with the people in your game. It's not foolproof and takes a little time, but you can try it if you think it will help.
General Esdeath 1 votesThat's what I used to do, but sometimes op.gg doesn't have the matches from today and I can't see that until the next day. I can tell from club tags sometimes so it wouldn't change any tilting for me.
Icepaw1 votesRiot dosent want you too see how often you in reality get DynamicQ stomped. The feature was there before, in solo\duo. Removing it was an active action from Riots side, and such actions are not done without serious thinking into it. There is no other logic reason than denying "clarity" to players.
redfeenix1 votesI asked ghost crawler about this Here is his response
He also talks about premades a lot in that thread and If they should show them
General Esdeath 1 votesSo, once again, as with all Riot's faults.
"We think it's going to be abused"
Despite the fact that the Cait/Sivir thing is already possible with information they make available, but seeing premades who have a higher chance of camping me is some how bad. OK. Got it. Riot's a bunch of fucking hypocrites. Thanks for sharing this post with me.
redfeenix1 votesNo problem you should read through his responses it gives great insight into the design choices that leagues been making, since he's pretty much in charge of the whole game.
