Riot Should Make Common Abbreviations Fit Into the Champion Search

passıon··1 votes·400 views

So when you're in champion select and you search for champions, you should be able to put in abbreviations. Things like "MF" or "J4" and "K6"

Additionally, I think you have to type champion names front to back, (You can't say "Yi" you have to say "Master Yi") but I don't remember.

Anyway, I think this is an easy thing to put in, and it'd be handy.

You can type any part of the champion into the box. If you type "Support" all the support champions will come up, even if it's their "secondary" role.

You can type "ek" and anything with "ek" (Tenekton, Ekko, Mordekaiser, Rek'sai) will come up. Riot shouldn't have to make an extra feature because you can't spell a champion's name/their first 2 letters.

Well, first: "Tenekton".

Second, there's really no reason not to do it. Riot likes adding quality of life improvements and this is just another one. It couldn't possibly be so difficult to add a few abbreviations like "MF" or "J4". Things that people commonly use in the game.

If you mess up that far and dont see renekton by the time you type in "tene" then you should really realize what you're doing wrong.

You could add abbreviations but it is also just as easy for a player to type in 3 letters of a champion's name to narrow it down to one or 2 results 99% of the time. That's like saying you should ask for riot to make their entire chat system in game with an auto correct option because it's "Quality of life."

Just because you can't spell doesn't mean riot should implement more redundant features into their game.

You're missing the point completely. This isn't for characters with shorter unofficial names like "Rene" or "Morg". This is for those who have much easier ways to say their name, that are convenient and easy to add. (Again, things like "MF", "J4", "TK" "K6" "GP", "TF", or even "VN") I don't know why you are looking at it like it's meant for things like "Cait" "Renek" or "Lee".

I don't know why you are too lazy to type out "Mi" instead of "MF" to narrow down the results to her. I don't understand why you feel that a web based site should be able to understand abbreviations that many players have never heard of let alone will use on a regular basis. I don't know why you cant just type in "Jarvin" instead of "J4" because "Jarvin" takes a tad bit longer???

You gotta be freakin kidding me m8.

First, "Jarvin"

Second, maybe you don't use these abbreviations. MF, J4, GP, and TF are commonly used. There's also nothing wrong with convenience and quality of life improvements. You're saying the only reason to not add this is "It doesn't matter", but it's still convenient to use, and I'd certainly use it when I can.

What????

Im saying what you are asking is pointless and useless. Just because less than 1% of the player base uses them on the boards, doesnt mean riot should make them.

I don't know where you got those stats from. Less than 1% of players say "MF" in game and on Boards?

Im getting the stats by seeing nobody on the boards would type in "MF" to find the little icon. Im getting the stats by seeing, that if they do type "MF", it is understood and doesn't need it's own search option. Im getting the stats by seeing nobody ever request this feature before let alone be lazy enough to not type "miss" instead of "MF" into the search.

With that said, Good day.

Okay, so I'm gonna throw this out there.

I'm referring to the champion select, NOT the boards icons.

Second, you should look at actual statistics instead of assuming that just because someone is able to post the MF icon, that they didn't try to type MF on their first try. Additionally, I'm willing to doubt that your statistics don't cover even 2 subboards.

In other words, your statistics aren't statistics, but rather just assumptions.

You can't get statistics for this. Of course they're assumptions.

Nowhere do you ever say "in champ select." You only say "when looking for a champion."

In other words, you should realize that this is just you trying to make a ridiculous issue out of nothing.

I guess asking for a simple addition is making a ridiculous issue out of nothing. If you don't agree with my idea, just say so and be on your way. I could've stopped debating with you multiple posts ago.
