Client Feature Requests

Hello,

There are a few things with the client that I feel could be improved, and I wanted to start a discussion about it.

1. There is a 3-4 second delay between accepting to play a game and the pick intent screen coming up. Why do I have to wait 4 seconds to declare who I want to play? I don't want to wait, and frankly I shouldn't have to. Speediness and responsiveness is part of good design. Animations can make the experience better, but not at the expense of wasting users' time, imo and according to design principles.

2. There is no noise or audible alert to tell you when a game has been found while you are waiting in queue. This forces you to be at your computer and looking at the screen. Why not just make a simple noise alert so that we are not forced to always be at our computers? This really gets on my nerves because first, its not healthy to be sitting at your computer and at the time where I actually don't want to be sitting and staring at my computer, like during a 5-10 minute queue, I am forced to because of this. Plus it would be a super simple fix.

3. There are no champion ability descriptions in the new champ select. Can you please bring this back? For all of your talk about promoting teamwork and organizing a team comp in champ select, it makes it that much harder, ESPECIALLY for newer players when we have no way to check what a given champion's ability does without switching over to our browser and searching lolwiki. You had this feature before, and now its gone. Why is that? My best guess is that somewhere in your development process, there is a breakdown in effective communication. Did you do usability testing? Did you compare the new champ select to old? What did you say when you realized this feature was missing? I am genuinely curious to know. Did you just say "Fuck it, lets ship any way"?

These feature requests are simple fixes that can drastically improve player experiences. I would love to hear any and all feedback on these points.
