We Need a Riot "To-Do" List Here!

The basic concept is that Riot posts short term goals for people to see, and an estimation on when they will be accomplished (not required, but simply suggested). Yes this has potential to backfire if things don't get done in time, that is why being generous with the time estimate is a good idea. I would just really like to see a collaborative schedule that draws from all groups of riot and shows the end goals.

I also think it'd be cool if the sub-sections of Riot were able to post little bits about what they were doing to work on this. I feel like the community (myself included) is starving for more knowledge on the company that makes our favorite game, and having a feature like this on CB would be great! This would be a great tool for many people that accomplishes several goals...

  1. gain a sense of Riot's intentions
  2. satisfy curiosity
  3. gain more knowledge about Rioters and their personalities
  4. collaborate objectives in one location
  5. give a single place to go to read a lot of posts from Riot
  6. give Riot a platform that allows a united statement about objectives

Yes, some of these are a bit overlapping, but I also know there are more points I didn't even mention (feel free to post them and I will add them). I would really like to see more substance on Riot's end about what they want to do in the future, and obviously the bulletin can be labeled with the "subject to change" stamp that allows for riot to not "promise" anything, but rather say "hey, we're looking at these problems right now, they might not be addressed, but we're seeing what we can do at the moment".

I am personally just starving to learn more about Riot, and would like a means to learn about them (no stalker)in terms of personality and aspirations for the game. I want to know key issues are being looked at, and also want to feel like Riot has more of a face to the public, right now, especially for new players, or players like my brother, who never come to the forums because "There is no point, I don't want to dig through all of the trolls just to learn what color hair the next champ is going to have".

Please Riot, I have a lot of requests, I know (like the Ao Shin Update/work process video I posted a few weeks ago in this sub-community), but this one I feel would do the most good for the most players. I know you guys have means of getting your PR out now, ie red-tracker (which I don't think gets used as much as it should), and it also does not show rioters' goals in their respective fields of work very easily. This focuses more on objectives for the community to see and respond to, which can then turn into discussions, where as the red-tracker just bunches up all the rioter's posts about everything, and people need to sift though to see the unrelated posts to locate the information they are looking for. This organizes posts in an easy to follow, more topic oriented, way, which I know you guys always like :) (or else we wouldn't be here on CB, would we?).

Thank you for reading, I know its a bit lengthy, but when I get excited about topics like this, I find it hard to stop myself. Please leave any feed back and I will follow up :).

Dear Riot,

Please fix the chat log sync time when summoners join a blind pick. The problem that occurs more then once is when Summoner 2 joins the pregame champion selection the chat log will read..

Summoner5 has joined the room.

Summoner4 has joined the room.

Summoner3 has joined the room.

Summoner1 has joined the room.

Summoner2 has joined the room.

Summoner2: Top.

The chat appears to Summoner 2 that they indeed called the lane and will continue to lock in. Not knowing that Summoner 1 had already called it due to a 1 second late join or whatever.

Summoner 1 connected sooner and called Top as soon as they joined but lost it because summoner 2 locked in.

Can we please have this madness and confusion stop by making it show the entire chat log of the pregame champion selection no matter when someone joins?!

Thanks, Summoner Blaze20.

I love the idea. Of course no specific timetable but at least knowing what they are working on would be awesome. It's kinda agonizing taking so much time to write cool suggestions or giving feedback on an aspect of LoL and not knowing what Riot's actually working on. In that way, you never know if they're ignoring your feedback or just prioritizing other stuff at the moment. :(
