@Riot Why don't you guys make any quality of life changes anymore?

It's like you guys just stopped giving a shit as soon as you realized the game became mainstream...Like some changes/fixes include:

-Removing duo queue from solo queue. This should not even be here when we have flex queue... -Changing the early surrender vote requirement of unanimous to 3/5 so that you aren't being held hostage by a troll that wants you to suffer... -During Champ select adding in a icon that shows whose auto-filled and whose on there secondary role -During Champ select when you change the order of champions from alphabetical to say favorites, it should stay that way throughout the champ select process instead it just switches every time you have to ban or pick intent or whatever. -Automatically switching the summoners spell when you are not jungle, similar to how it gives you smite when you get jungle.

These are just some examples there so many of these type of changes but I don't hear Riot every taking time to change these.

This is not QoL

-Changing the early surrender vote requirement of unanimous to 3/5 so that you aren't being held hostage by a troll that wants you to suffer...

This is a fucking TERRIBLE idea. Losing a game should not be made easier.

2v5s with the other 3 at least waveclearing are possible, so 3/5 surrender should never happen. And games are basically never over at 15 minutes, anyways.

Any game that is actually lost by 15 minutes will end quickly, anyways.

-During Champ select adding in a icon that shows whose auto-filled and whose on there secondary role

Would this actually add any value?

-During Champ select when you change the order of champions from alphabetical to say favorites, it should stay that way throughout the champ select process instead it just switches every time you have to ban or pick intent or whatever.

Finally, a good idea.

-Automatically switching the summoners spell when you are not jungle, similar to how it gives you smite when you get jungle.

There are too many options for other lanes for it to swap for just "not jungle". I'd like for it to swap back to what you had it on before you got autofilled to jg, however. Not high priority in the slightest, though, since laning with smite isn't an autoloss, while jungling without smite is in most cases (iirc Nunu can pull it off very situationally, and only if he beats the shit out of the enemy jungler early on and stays ahead through sheer number of camps taken).

No. Just no. Probably ~30% of my wins are me saying no to 3 salty people saying yes to an ff vote at 15. This is an absolutely terrible idea. People give up too easily as is, this would just make it 40x worse

Totally agree on removing Duos. If Clash is a normal feature, between it Ranked Flex, there's no reason for it. 5 randoms versus a 3 randoms with 2 guys in Discord who have played together for years is hardly good matchmaking. A middle school boys soccer team versus a pro team with blindfolds on still isn't good matchmaking, and the kids are going to win by default. Voice comms are actually OP.

You can't fix the troll problem, because as soon as you do this, you will have countless players in Korean and Chinese PC cafes who pay by the hour FFing anytime they don't win early game.

The autofill indicator will just lead to endless dodging. A huge amount of the player base is queuing for mid to lock in Yasuo. You may have been around for the old Starcraft/Warcraft custom map days where you were kicked instantly when you began to download the map. It took forever to get into a game because allowing players to control matchmaking just means they are playing the game in the client.

Totally agree on being able to re-arrange the order of champs in your client. I want my pool kept at the top. I want to be able to favorite bans. It's annoying to get used to where Teemo is and then a new champ comes out and I can't find the little rat.

Summoner spells--how would it know what you want? Also, smite isn't that bad on anyone. Sure it's not Teleport but it's not the end of the world. Laning with smite is a lot better than jungling without smite, that's for sure.

This isn't QoL in the slightest. Just because you don't like duos in a queue literally called "Solo / Duo" doesn't mean they shouldn't exist.

-Changing the early surrender vote requirement of unanimous to 3/5 so that you aren't being held hostage by a troll that wants you to suffer...

While I'd love this, people on here won't.

-Automatically switching the summoners spell when you are not jungle, similar to how it gives you smite when you get jungle.

You should do that yourself. It was added to Jungle because Smite is absolutely needed in order to use the Smite Jungle Items. No other items in the game require you to have a spell.

Or do tooltip math for spells like what was done with twitch E which tells you the max damage in red when you hover over it with your mouse but cant do it for other spells that are like 70+(125)+(34) for damage so I have to do math in my head before knowing the pre migation damage they cant just do this:

70+(125)+(34)=229

I get some spells cant be done because they have % hp damage but spells like Teemo Q you can do it, annie Q etc. It will just make me not do a ton of math in my head while playing.

what makes me angry is that it is done for some spells but not everyone

game runs on lifesupport basically. why make QoL changes.

you dont paint a hotel room new. you dont buy a tv for a public toilet. you dont feed a dead animal.

and you dont do QoL changes for a game that has so many issues that its basically alrdy ded.

-During Champ select when you change the order of champions from alphabetical to say favorites, it should stay that way throughout the champ select process instead it just switches every time you have to ban or pick intent or whatever.

I actually like this Idea alot. Makes it easier to find the champion(s) I usually play among the mass of champions we have in the game right now instead of having to type them out individually or look for their icon.
