ok this system would take a bit of work to implement but here it is

Make a "game mode" were people can que up to be coached/coach *select what it is you want help on/ Select what you feel you can coach

  • Game matches you together in a pregame chat room before launching into que
  • Play the game together with the coaches main purpose being to watch and offer tips/advice *have a rating system at the end of game just a simple "was this coach helpful" "Did they seem willing to learn" kind of thing *Gives coaches a rating system to help with matching *If you get banned for behavior in this que its permanently locked

just an idea

I'm being completely honest, I'd love to do some coaching. It sounds fun, and when I have a relatively new player in my game, I like to teach them more parts of the game. Given, I don't know everything about this game, but I know the basics. As a Plat 5 player, I'd love to teach some new players how to play this game. :) Hope this goes somewhere.

A coach system? In a game that doesn't even have a sandbox mode, a robust replay system, customizable UI elements(or UI skins altogether), has had the same in-game announcer since forever, has no actual punishment/reward system other than some bull%%%% automated %%%% with a big margin error.

Did you know, Smite, a moba that released last freaking year, has a mastery system that rewards you with multiple unlockable skins you can pay with in-game currency(and not real money) and icons that are free? In fact, each character in the game has 3 skins you can unlock through mastery, 3 %%%%ing skins.

Did you know, League Of Legends, who became the benchmark of Moba's, has the biggest E-sports scene in the world(not reward-size), has existed for 5 years, has the largest playerbase to ever exist in PC-gaming and the largest number of online players to ever play a multiplayer game, rewards your mastery with just an emote and a number that goes from 1-7(5-7 soon to be implemented lol)?

But I digress, I think they are utterly incompetent to handle anything important that would benefit the game. Much less a coaching system that would benefit player experience. Only things one can do revolve around doing them by oneself: an educational youtube channel/blog/post or what have you. You could also advertise your coaching by creating chatrooms for people looking for coaching to join. Then joining games with them, connected with voicechat, to teach them the game.

Amazing music and art is all Riot's capable of producing at a respectable level, so yeah...

I wouldn't mind this feature. Heck I've been playing for awhile and I'm terrible! I would honestly love legit advice that isn't uninstall and go kill myself.

Holy crap, a productive suggestion to improve the new player experience. What is this black magic?

I suggested this about a month ago when I found out Dota 2 has a great system like this in place right now......which means Riot will never copy anything that has to do with them. It's a shame but maybe it will happen

Might as well make it so in game your teammates can tell you how to play............... WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would make this exclusively for Co-op vs AI. I feel like if you added a PvP aspect, its competitive edge could get in the way of actual learning in some cases. (Since some people would start to become more focused on winning than learning).

Well who would be the coaches?
