Riot can you please not force low level players into Blind-Pick to complete quests?

The amount of times you get fresh players not even beyond level 3 going up against level 10+ players is sickening.

It's not fair going against players with with garbage like

So please, change early game quests to ARAM and Bots only, Blind-Pick is far too infested by cancerous shit-stains and self-evidently smurfs to ever be a positive learning experience for new players.

Also your tutorial is still utter shite, especially since you force people to go through the terrible intro.

Honestly, I don't understand why they lock summoner spells behind levels.

Maybe to keep people's interest in the hopes they stay to unlock them all and hit lvl 30? Either way, it should be removed because it's so counterproductive. You're supposed to be learning how to play League in the early levels, but you're barring necessary tools and very important features from these new players.

Its mostly because theres already so much going on in the game that new players as is are overloaded with learning things, so they limit options. Being new to mobas on its own is a big hurdle.

Dead wrong, it's justa matter of pure laziness on Riot's part.

Not to mention the fact that summoner 6 take's infinitely more skill to use correctly compared to summoner 4 so not sure why that's the default. Also none of this would be a problem if Riot actually made a real tutorial.

"Welcome summoner, this tutorial goes over Summoner Spells, pick one of the following to continue..." But nope, just toss them into the game ill prepared while matching them against people levels ahead of them with these much more powerful spells.

? Yes, its "laziness" on their end by putting in extra work and effort to restrict spells by level? That doesnt even make logical sense.

It's exactly laziness, they can easily remove those pointless level restrictions and actually allow people to learn the best options through experience, like learning is supposed to be done.

But they don't, and they personally haven't said or done a single thing about it, seeming to rely on clueless ignorant self absorbed naysayers to put down anyone suggesting improvements.

Given they kept the system and had to make it again for runes reforged laziness isnt an argument. You dont see the merits or benefits in it, doesnt mean there are none.

echorevJun 27, 20181 votes

What merits? Limiting people to stuff enemies are allowed to take and shaft them with? What is there for them to learn?

Nothing changes between level 1 and 6 when you start getting the good spells, you don'tmagically unlock hidden knowledge, a it's just a pointless matter of how many people you have to deal with that have that good shit

The merits are not overloading new players. Key word being NEW. A new player with flash and without flash makes no real difference (the new player with flash will likely even do worse than with ghost, as its harder to use. Again, its aimed towards NEW players with no previous lol/moba experience)

When I started playing I didnt use summoner spells until level 20 or something like that. Sure, my friends told me what spells would be good in my situation, but did I really use them? No. I was way to distracted by all those champions and and the map and everything to remember things like one spell that makes my Lux different from the enemy Lux.

Limiting my options also helped my friends who had a bit more time to tell me what things do, instead of giving me everything at once and letting them explain everything in the small timeframe of the first champselect.

How are they not overwhelmed by the base stuff then? None of it is explained you're just thrown in and left to hang

Pika FoxJun 28, 20181 votes

Why do you think they JUST redid the tutorial (for like the 4th time)?

its as to now overload new players with information, better question is why important spells like smite and flash are put behind a level wall instead of more optional spells like ghost and barrier

RitoHatesMagesJun 27, 20182 votes

How does that make any sense?

They don't explain anything so how the hell are they not already overwhelmed by the pitiful base shit they give them?

At one point I could agree with you but...

Aram you need a certain amount of champs to play like draft I believe as well.

Also I feel given the changes to Summoner's Rift the last 3 patches it is best that they start on the lesser maps/lower pvp mechanics(map stuff like jungle/scuttle changes) before moving on to the better stuff/higher skill stuff these days in Aram.

If this was 8.9 SR then I would agree with you completely.

RitoHatesMagesJun 27, 20181 votes

Wrong, the free week champs give you enough to go in

PANAGIA PARTHENAJun 27, 20182 votes

Wat.

So you dont want new players to play the most "just for fun" mode of the actual game? I mean, what would be the purpose of blindpick be then.

I remember playing the tutorial and trying to figure out how there were minions fighting each other on multiple spots in the lane. Meaning a wave of minions walked past each other and started fighting the next wave.

hi its MinyJun 27, 20181 votes

I also believe the tutorial should give you 6300 IP instead of 3000, forcing players to play a champion they don't want for MULTIPLE games just to get a 6300 champion just is tedious and boring.

''So please, change early game quests to ARAM and Bots only'' in other words ''So please, change early game quests to bots and Bots only'' because on low levels ARAM is nothing but bots
