Icon inserts: mouseover readability

Dr Clueless PhD·12/15/2014, 5:36:27 PM·4 votes·1,097 views

Hello, everybody! So, i was hoping for some thoughts on this idea.

I do a lot of mouseover reading on the Boards. It's convenient, and I like it a lot. One issue is that the icon inserts do not have a format that's recognizable to a reader (I'm not asking for icons to appear in mouseovers, I realize that's certainly not happening). By that, I mean that I don't know what Item 32 is, or who Champion 27 is.

In my head, it makes sense for the icon format to be based on names. Rather than champion:103 in braces, it could be champion:ahri. This may be more work under the hood, but it would make it so that you know what an icon represents on a mouseover read. I would see champion:ahri and know that it's an Ahri icon, rather than seeing champion:103 and not having any clue.

I'm 99% sure the numbers correlate to the champion's release order, which could have some reasoning behind it as far as use in some later instance.....

But I also would much rather prefer this idea, as it would also make formatting huge posts on a offline document much MUCH easier as well.

Isn't the point of the Icon so you can see what they are talking about without reading it? If you played LoL for any decent amount of time you should be able to tell exactly what the icon is. Ahri Annie RekSai Azir Kalista

I'd also like to point out to Sir ArmaMalum that the numbers have no correspondence to the release order. Reksai is champion 421 while Kalista is 429 and Azir is 268. Seems pretty arbitrary to me. If there is a system I have no idea what it is.
