This new "Playstyle" in friend's list and own icon

A Small Dog·2/27/2015, 7:56:31 PM·1 votes·26,769 views

Just went to my friend's list and saw a change of some kind. When hovering my mouse over a friend and/or myself, it showed a "Playstyle" with a champion icon, a single section of a 3 part icon resembling an upper arrow, line in the middle, and an arrow pointing down. And some other unrecognizable icon next to that one.

Any idea what this is or how I can learn what it is? I looked around, and didn't see anything like this mentioned in the Patch Notes unless it's something extra and I noticed this too quickly for Riot to post anything on it on the site. Granted I am rather new so either this has always been there just some other option on the client to see it or on the site and I am just too newb to LoL to have known this. Any ideas?

My "Playstyle" apparently is Thresh with a down arrow and what looks like a ward next to it. If anyone knows what the hell that means I'd be grateful lol. Thanks for reading, have fun out there.

Arrow pointing down means Botlane Ward mean support (Bacically its the teambuilder icons..) Crossbow means ADC

If its a line going up middle its middle lane (Mage icon) (Assasian icon)

Jungle means you have a bush.... then it has the tb icon for role..

then the arrow up means top Insert team builder icon.. for role

Right now my play style is Lulu, jungle support. because I played lulu in twisted treeline. it doesnt know how to register TT for a role icon.

Yours means, You recently went thresh, in the botlane, as a support.

Would it be better if we can just be able to hover our mouse over the profile preview when you highlight it and it could tell you? I don't know but it annoyed the crap out of me each time I tried to put my mouse over it to see what these new icons are. Hey riot, reply to this.. Add it, fix it.. make it so we can hover over the icons to see what they are. Once you move your mouse the little window disappears. Just saying, it would be more convenient :D

maybe botlane thresh and you ward a lot? Just checked it out

The first icon is the lane you play most (top, middle, bot or jungle), the second is the role you choose most often (check the teambuilder icons if you don't understand the symbols, support is the 'ward')

The line and up and down arrows represent which lane they play the most in. There is also a grass looking one that represents jungle. Then it has the role they play the most, like melee, mage, supp, etc. They look a lot like the summoner icons from when "Team Builder" was released.

I think means most play champion because I play AD Soraka top a lot and it shows Soraka on my play style icon

I think it means the most champion you play because I play AD Soraka top a lot and it shows it on play style list

It shows the champion that reflectsyour playstyle, thing that looks like an arrow is an indicator as to what lane you are suited to (there are three markers that create a square) the last icon is the rolse you play, adc/tank/fighter/mage etc.

I think the champion it shows is your most played champ over your last ten games (so what you see in your profile's match history).

I thought at first it was showing your most played rank or team builder champ, but that's not it.
