Here are some suggestions that I think most players would agree with. They are changes that I believe could improve player skill, bring game balance, and increase overall game experience.

  1. Update the champion information on each champion to include champion stats and ability stats. Maybe even add suggested builds or counter picks. This is most of the information players go to other Apps for anyway.
  2. Balance the summoner spells. I wont give my two cents on how but they should be balanced to increase variability in games and when choosing champions.
  3. Increase the free to play champion count to 20. You have so many champions as it is, why not give players more options to test more champions. consider increasing the sales on champs and skins too.
  4. Add solo que to 3v3 rank but dont allow duo. encourage players to utilize all that LOL has to offer.
  5. When logging out of the game there should be an option for exiting the entire game and a second option for only "logging out" taking you back to the Log in screen. Seems logical to me.
  6. Add 1v1/2v2 mode (showdown) at all times. Players are always creating 1v1 customs anyway, might as well help them fill that desire.
  7. Sandbox mode that allows players to try different builds without needing to invest hours in custom. This may also help Riot when balancing the late game of a champion since it allows a shortcut on data acquisition.
  8. Hard/advanced bots, as well as adding bots that know how to jungle at all difficulty levels. I recognize that its not that easy to do but I know players still want it.
  9. Training/test mode, allows players to test out any champion and learn the basic combos and play styles of that champion by going through commands and tips the pros would use.
  10. Add a "death recap" option/change the current one. Often times there is too much going on in a team fight to really understand how you died. A death recap video will help players improve before their next fight. The current one doesn't tell enough.
  11. The ability to Replay a game to learn from your mistakes.
  12. Reasonable champion balance within given rules. No more special cases like 90% damage (kalista), or less crit damage (Yasuo). find other ways to solve their issues.
  13. A loading indication when starting a game to identify whether you have crashed or not.
  14. Summoner Name change and one Champion refund should be allowed once a year. People's likes/dislikes change.

I will add more suggestions as I think of them but I am only listing the obvious ones that the general population would agree with. What suggestions do you have?

I agree with a few of your thoughts, but disagree/have some points to say about most of them. A lot of them are actually in development or have already been attempted and deemed failures by Riot if you keep up with their statements and patch notes.

  1. This is already in the Alpha client. If you haven't signed up for it yet, I suggest you do, The next update will include draft queues and they will be adding "hundreds of thousands" of new testers to the alpha.
  2. Riot has been changing/removing summoner spells this season specifically to help this issue.
  3. I think they keep the f2p champs low to give incentive for more people to buy champions. They also don't want all champions to hit free rotation too often, and keeping the number low helps that. Maybe they'll increase it a bit in season 7 though. Who knows.
  4. Though many people may not like it, twisted treeline is not the main focus of the game these days. Summoner's Rift is. Riot has been slowly removing resources from 3v3 games to be shifted over to 5v5s.
  5. The login page and the client are two separate programs, so it would be clunky to close the client and auto-open the login.exe. However the two are combined in the Alpha client. Again, I suggest you sign up to be a tester.
  6. The whole point of 1v1 or 2v2 games is to test an individual's skill against your own, which is not something that you should do against randoms. Instead, custom games already offer the perfect arrangement for that.
  7. Sandbox was promised a long time ago then dropped. A few months back Riot mentioned that they are trying to implement it, but it won't be until after the new client is finished.
  8. Harder bots would be nice, but jungling AI is almost impossible to code correctly for so many different champions. Bots can't even flash walls in their current state, and adding more advanced tactics would severely slow down the servers. Maybe DoomBots would be a nice permanent challenge mode.
  9. Training mode already exists. Advanced "pro" tactics are not something players should be concerned about when learning basic mechanics. If you want pro tips, there are thousands of hours of video that professional streamers have uploaded to youtube about every champion. For more basic info on both countering a champion and powerful skill combinations, go check out the champion page in the client.
  10. Death recap video was also promised but quickly realized as something too server intensive to implement. Currently the servers record a continuous stream of the entire game for spectators, but they don't record the team-based data that would be needed for a death recap (otherwise you would recieve data on the enemy team at the same time, wards, etc.). Riot has stated they want to make the death recaps more intuitive and helpful, but we'll see what they come up with. It probably won't be in the form of a video.
  11. The servers don't keep recordings of the game after all players and spectators have left. If you want to have recordings, you can download a program that will spectate and save the data for you so that you can spectate the game at your leisure. There are simply too many games all the time for Riot to store them all.
  12. Riot's goal is to make each champion unique, and not all unique visions of champions can fit the same set of items correctly. To this end, there have to be special cases in order to maintain balance in the game. The "other ways to solve their issues" was deemed worse by a team of professionals.
  13. If a full-screen application crashes, it can't create and indicator to tell you about it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be crashed.
  14. A name change per year would make keeping track of your own friends list too hectic. Also you can get name changes for IP anyway. As for refunds, too many people ask for this and it's not going to happen. A refund should be used if you legitimately made a mistake with your RP, but riot is not responsible for you irresponsibly spending your money.
