The Loading Screen: A Story of Wasted Potential
For a long time now my father (whom I introduced to the game over a year ago) has been complaining to me that the load screen is an area rife with wasted space, and potential. I've been putting off posting this for a long time, but I agree with him entirely.
Back when he was new to the game he had to learn a LOT of champions, and spent the loading screen of every match tabbed out and looking at the wiki to see what the enemy team could do. He did this because if he just read through the entire wiki, he would have to sit down and dedicate a lot of previously free time to the game, and then when he got to the game, there would be no guarantee that he would remember any of it, so doing this during the loading screen was the ideal time. It was time that he had already decided belonged to LoL, and he could immediately go and apply his knowledge solidifying it in a much more permanent way.
But that's just it, he had to go tab out to do this, and while he is one of the fortunate people who have and know how to effectively use two monitors, not everyone can do this, and additionally it seems silly to both him and I that he cant actually acquire this information in game during the loading screen.
We're not asking for anything complicated in terms of visuals, or CPU heavy. The change that we're asking for could be as simple as making the ability blocks - that you see while hovering over champions in champ select - appear during the loading screen while hovering over an ally or enemy.
Not only would this feature seriously improve the loading screen experience, but it would also impact the game experience for newer players. Instead of being raged at for feeding a champion they know nothing about, now they could perhaps have a fighting chance. Bad players will still end up losing, but the burden of knowledge for the game would be a much easier thing to overcome with this ultimately small change.
TL:DR - Loading screen does nothing, make it to where you can hover to see a champions abilities to make life better for newbies.
