[Matchmaking Clarity] Show Number of Players in Queue

Deep Terror Nami·Mar 24, 2015·6 votes·966 views

Simple; I'd like to see the number of players in any given Matchmaking Queue, before I even join.

I can't say how often this has been proposed, but I'd like to propose it again. When I played games like Halo and Call of Duty, it always shows how many people are looking for a particular type of match. This helped me decide which mode I'd join, if one mode only had a couple hundred people in it while another had tens of thousands.

Sure, the "Average Queue Time" slightly serves that purpose, but only after you join it, and also is not very accurate since matches can last 20 minutes, or an hour and 20. I believe simply glancing at each mode and seeing the actual popularity of the mode would be both useful and just a nice form of clarity.

I used my highly specialized skill in MS Paint to give two examples below;

Sure, but let's get rid of blind normals first.

Deep Terror NamiMar 24, 20153 votes

Because? Because you personally don't use it?

I would vote to get rid of blind normals as well, but i have a reason :P Team builder is far superior, you are guaranteed the champ you want, and not the champs you dont want on your team. and essentially is the same thing only better. If you add bans to team builder somehow, normal blind is pretty well useless.

NuSix3Mar 25, 20151 votes

There's no point to them anymore. It's just a place where people can start arguing in pregame. There's team builder and normal draft. Force the blind normal population into the other normal game modes.

I didn't expect people to freak out over that.

That makes zero sense. Why get rid of it?

If your ok with playing MIRROR games then you should be blocked from RANKED until you see the issue with this game mode.

What did I say about mirror games? Why are you and other people getting really offended about a silly comment on removing a game mode that's probably never going to happen?

You guys need to develop a little patience. None of this matters. It's just fun and games.

You quoted me and replied to my comment.

Hugh DrectumMar 24, 20153 votes

Id vote, but honestly I dont see a NO button... YOu seam slightly into yourself and your idea too much.

Makes no difference. You join Q and get a match. This isnt COD or console gaming where some games only have like 1000 players online.

This is extra weight in the download and packets...why fix shit that aint broken?

Don't put things in that are bound to cause issues when RIOT still has to PATCH a PATCH they just PATCHED 3 hours before. Its not difficult to check your work, load, triple check...then UPLOAD. However the riot staff still cant figure it out.

1: Um, there IS A NO BUTTON IF YOU USE YOUR EYES.

Nah, doesn't matter to me.

2: Console games have far more than just 1000 players online, especially the ones I mentioned. And also CoD is on PC as well.

3: Extra weight? Seriously? How much data do you think this would take up? Nothing...

NO I DON'T WANT THIS IN GAME AND IT DOES MATTER TO ME... Nah and Sure are answers Married women and teenagers use..NOT MEN or Adults.

At least you posted on your thumbs down, even though you reacted to what you read before you understood it.

"This isnt COD or console gaming where *some games *only have like 1000 players online."

the more you speak the more you prove my point about not understanding what you wrote... you didnt get a response that was FAVORABLE to your outcome and went cross eyed with rage bro.... STOP

Is trolling your response to everything? I'm not getting down to your level. Goodbye.

Its a valid point. You clearly spoke before you took the time to comprehend what you saw.

Thank you.

I am seeing him tear thru every single post thats made... Maybe if this child got off tilt we'd be able to see eye to eye. But hes too busy bash raging to prove a point or even argue the one he started out with.

Im off to play.

Your argument was to prove a point that wasn't even in the direction of where the conversation had gone...

I may have agreed with the IDEA overall, but knowing you back it and behave like this...ZZZZ 100% against adding to game.

I agree with Ovulated.

You know, you aren't hiding your multiple account downvotes and self-agreement very well. Your speech patterns are identical throughout when you compare multiple posts; particularly the lack of capital "I" and apostrophe's in "I'm". Dead giveaway. You aren't hurting my feelings. Troll somebody less competent next time.

I am confused. I replied in the format of the conversation that was taking place. Would it help you sleep at night if a person chose to type out their sentences in this form? Does it prove individuality? Oh wait...Now I am copying your speech patterns too.

This guy is a HOOT! I am leaving too, you may want to get your multiple personalities checked out bro.

There's a possibility you aren't one of his multiple accounts. But it's certain he is using several to mass downvote and agree with himself.

Wow this makes so much sense, I can't wait for the first shill "we can't cuz people might abuse" reply post.

What would be the point? Wouldn't the most used queues just get even richer while the lesser used queues get poorer? Seems this would pretty quickly get us to a 1 queue system, which would be awful.
