A list of quality of life changes - Cos we love clarity and little improvements amirite
So after playing the game for a while and reading through these boards a lot I realized there are a lot of little changes and improvements which could be made to league to make it more enjoyable. But there isn't a list or a collection of them or anything, so I decided to start making one. I'll update this with any improvements you put in the comments (Obviously I'd never be able to make a complete list on my own), and strike changes which make it ingame. Upvote to bring to riot's attention?
The List:
-
Change the loading screen to one that you can easily switch out of instead of fullscreen immediately, so that players can still do things like load up some music or whatever, then when it’s fully loaded switch everyone to fullscreen. Adding a chat window in the loading screen would be nice as well.
-
Add a range indicator to kalista’s jump passive when hovering over it.
-
Automatically remove the baron/dragon icon from the map if you get vision of the enemy team having either of the buffs (Cos I mean you can tell when it’s gone from that, and you can roughly tell when they got it too, so….what’s the point?)
-
Move all TEMPORARY passive effects (ex not dragon buff) into the middle of the screen (Quite honestly nobody glances at the left corner unless they want to see something specific like champion AD)
-
In the shop add an area below the item description which shows how the item would change the stats of the player. So for example, boots 335 Movement speed -> 360 Movement speed. Or IE 87 Attack Damage -> 167 Attack Damage and 0% Critical hit change -> 25% critical hit chance and 200% critical hit damage -> 250% critical hit damage
-
Allow players to have a customizable “Favorites” bar where they can favorite a champion they own (up to 9) and have them appear in a favorites bar next to the random selector
-
Allow the honor banners to go over ranked borders (with corresponding changes to the borders
-
Change the location of the options gear in the main launcher to the bottom right so that players can change filter/volume settings while in a match loading screen. Also allow players to change launcher options while ingame, and change ingame settings while in the launcher.
-
Add a ping meter to the launcher
-
Fix the dc (need to restart the entire game) if the IP of the player changes mid-game
-
Add a little ? mark on the death recap screen that opens a new window which allows players to read up on champion abilities: Would help new players like a LOT ...and also some long term players “WTF how does kalista work”
-
Add a nice glowing countdown timer (in seconds obv) on the shield that prevents you from exiting spawn at start
-
Do a similar thing for individual monster camps if you see them die
-
Allow players to mirror their HUD vertically
-
Add a timer next to the green dots which show when teammates have their ults
-
Allow players to mute each other during the champion selection
-
If leblanc is walking somewhere and uses distortion, it doesn’t interrupt her movement
-
Allow the “most played champions” to switch between normal and ranked on profile page
-
Add an option to the store “Show unavailable skins”
-
Sheen proc color changed to yellow? to differentiate from triforce better
-
Individual icons (The buff icon things) for tri, sheen, iceglove and lich instead of them all using sheen icon
-
Janna’s shield gives autoattacks a slight blue glow?
-
Sona’s q aura needs increased visibility
-
Nunu/ww/nidalee’s attack speed auras need some kind of different effect to separate them from sheen/tri more
-
Add a damage tag to ignite like with smite
-
Once orianna hits 6, add a glowing circle around her ball when her ult is up similar to rengar's jump which indicates shockwave range (only visible to ori)
-
Add an animated loading icon to the loading screen to make it easier to tell if league froze up on you
-
Once panth/TF/nocturne hit 6 they also get a glowing circle around them when their ult is up like rengars jump to indicate ult range (only visible to the champion themselves)
-
If a player declines a match the match is immediately disbanded instead of having to wait
-
update sion's passive and passive abilities to indicate level of attack speed increase, update nocturne passive tooltip to indicate how much nocturne heals
-
When the tribunal returns, record pre and post game chats and send those in as well.
Kitty tax
, in addition to different visual effects :l (Yellow trinity, blue gauntlet, red sheen? change attack speed buff color?)
