@Riot: Please don't use the collection tab to sell us Eternals.

On the PBE right now the collection tab has been changed so that the main focus of it seems to be to sell you Eternal's. Many of the annoying changes include;

The small face portraits are replaced by the full splash, cluttering the screen.

The Mastery banner has been shunted to the lower right side in favor of an Eternal progress bar.

When clicking on a champion, the progression tab is there first, even before the overview and abilities, which seems like a cheap marketing tactic.

When you own a lot of champions the list goes on forever taking up extra time.

This tab really needs to be retooled or reverted because right now a lot of the functionality and design space has been lost in favor product advertisement.

(Idk how to post a screenshot on the boards so I will link my Reddit post with the image).

Yeah, it's awful. Are they going to listen? Doubt it...

I definitely agree with that.

This looks godawful. Why don't they use the scaling option of their client and make space for more champions in a row so the list for all 150 won't be 8 years of scrolling long.

This and Clash rewards both annoy me. I wish they would at least give customization options.

I'm never going to pay for Clash pass, I'm never going to find enough people I trust to play it, I am never going to get any rewards from it - so why the hell do I have two empty useless icons on my Profile page for the Banner and Trophy when I'd rather see my full three Masteries? And while I focus on SoloQ and so seeing my SoloQ rank only doesn't bother me, there might surely be people who play multiple queues and would like to see the three ranks. It's neither rocket science nor hard soltuion to just allow people to choose minimalistic or full view.

And this is the same case. I'd rather see more champs at once which makes it easier to find specific information, I'd rather see my Mastery stats. I am never going to buy any Eternals under these conditions, I doubt I'll find myself buying the Common ones in near future due to time limitations and BE shortage, I am never going to use this system. Why does my Champ List need to get butchered because of that.

Since they decided to make Eternals a product rather than free feature, they could've at least make it so that the champ list tranforms when you buy the product. Once again. Not a rocket science, not hard soltion. Allow us to choose.

EDIT: Also, I am all for practical change and this list could've been good under two conditions - Eternals are free for everyone so all people actually have practical use for the stats AND there is only few champions. Neither is the case. Eternals are expansion product and there is shitton of champs and more to come because Risotto Games wants that release skin money so we'll get three fucking new champs before Fiddle and Voli VGU (lol).

The newest champs are still problem and they are adding new ones at rapid pace, endangering the consistency of their game for sake of sheer release skin profit. The last straw to the mess is them opting into this list which works for Store where champs are gradually being removed as you buy them and which works when there is few important items in the list, not 100 useless items, 20 meh items and 20 relevant items and rising.

The list might seem innovative even without Eternals in the context, but just doesn't work with this many champs, especially since Risotto ignores like 75% of them on balance and skin scale.

fix: remove eternals. Clearly they want to make money off of something that was in the old client (yes, you could see these stats in the old client per champion for free) and it's not something most players are willing to do. We told them to remove the paywall on something that doesn't even make sense to have a paywall on and they basically said "fuck that, we'll reduce the price and say we listened to feedback"

How does Riot think spending minutes just scrolling down is a good idea? Currently I can reach the bottom of the collection tab in just a few seconds. What they are doing is adding unnecessary bloating to a previously uncomplicated interface.

Display enemy achievements by getting killed. What a "wonderful" idea!
