While I'm excited to see where this beta is going, I'd like to chime in with some things we'd all find very useful: formatting options! Some things I'd personally like to see:
Colour, size, underline, alignment (centre, particularly), image embedding, and a "spoiler" box.
Just throwing it out there in case there are more people who want the ability to format their posts (particularly for Fan Creations).
Sir ArmaMalum2 votesHey, glad to see someone else here for the formatting! If you haven't already I have a post detailing all the formatting options I've found out, as there are quite a few that the basic formatting guides didn't cover. Apologies for redundancy if you've already seen it.
As for a few others, I've seen a few red responses over my time here, but with all the sub-comm name switches I can't seem to find the specific posts. So hopefully you can take my word for it. =)
Colors are not easy to bring in, as it's not too large of a priority and has to be watched carefully for abuse (no one wants seizure inducing or all neon yellow posts)
Underline has been asked for and actually hasn't gotten a response yet if I recall correctly. No one's too sure why it isn't already in.
Alignment - I am sad I cannot upvote more than once for this.....
Spoiler box - has been asked for a lot by others, and is apparently tricky to add to this platform. It's known to be wanted but essentially has the soon(tm) mark.
ShadowKnight12242 votesMy goodness, you are a genius! Thank you for the link, I had definitely failed to see that. There are far more formatting options than I expected!
As for the colours, I understand, but it's actually extremely useful for things like Character Concepts, where you can follow the game's use of specific colours for things like AP/AD scaling or noting resource expenditures. Perhaps there could be a set pool of colours? No neon or anything too garish?
Sir ArmaMalum2 votesDefinitely could work, but when it comes down to it I'm not a Red, so it's up to the Beta team. =)
Glad I could help!
LouisLeGros1 votesWhy am not surprised that Riot goes with a platform that makes such basic functionality "difficult" when they are already copying a format (Reddit) with terrible formatting options, but at least has things like spoiler boxes. These features have been standard in BB code for over a decade on traditional forums.
