[Quality of Life] More game options
This is my first time really giving feedback. I am only Gold. I almost made Plat last season when I tried for the first time. I considered Gold to be easy, but just got bored. League of Legends is known to have one of the WORST toxicity of all games, yet I feel it can all be mitigated really easily. Trust me and all my bias.
#For the love of god, add some filtering options to regular blind and draft!
1 No premades option 2 Preban top X played this week 3 Applies these #2 to other game modes... At the moment, 6 bans are like a joke. They do not cover anything and most champions are not played. 4 Spice up ranked and apply #2. That will make the next season more cut throat and generate hype for your tournaments. The bandwidth league of legends will pull on that day.... It will be legendary. I am just ****ing tired of yasuo/current op jungle EVERY OTHER game. 5 Random Summoners Rift that picks from lane assigned. Call this Finding a new Flavor. 6 Blind pick and draft most definitely uses hidden Elo... just show us it please. Its EXTREMELY useful for good players playing with their bad friends. We all have those. It also helps you know if a friend of a friend is good or bad. Not everyone does ranked, I would like to know what my lobby has. I would imagine a little poro (elo poro skins, $$$$) next to your icon that looks bigger if your better. There are so many ways to implement this. The poro scales with your elo compared to your friends, or maybe its own unique scale everytime but still relative. Everyone sees a different size, no quantifiable way without third party. 7 Let me disable in-game chat in the client. More smart pings so people don't need to spam it to show path. Hearing 3 pings to show a path pulls the mouse away. It may even make a person disinterested in the map. A strategy game must foster communication. 8 Mic only game option? Hear me out. Worried all the ragers will give cancer to everyone and the "little kids" will cry? Filter it by age group. Filter it by a friendly vote. Encourage people to use that pointless feature. 9 Give Teamworks/honorable opponent after game ends or implement a go back to last-game-summary lobby so you can review your game. 10 New client... please do not pull me to a HTML page for previous games. Just pull it into my client. I will wait for it. This isnt 2001. Iframes and database structured webpages are extremely ugly to look at it. 11 Pings can drop a visual ON the map that fades out after x amount of time as an option. 12 Random option to draft. Champions given based on lanes taken. Games in 1999 had more options for its match making. 13 Currently, champoin select chat is basically a rush to claim lane and insta clock champ. The most played game mode is a gamble... How about, you get your lane every time or can get a fill roll. Why can't I just play the roll I want? I am invested 30 mins a game.
I am not saying these are the only good ideas. Riot makes enough money and League of Legends is god tier a mmo. Everything should be cutting edge.
