Idea: Show off Ranked Symbols In-Game

Cocho·Nov 8, 2016·6 votes·1,647 views

I don't know if this has ever been brought up or anything, but showing off whatever rank you are in game would be pretty cool.

It would work just like mastery level with the champ and It could be mapped to ctrl 7 default. Alternatively, it could work like how the worlds icons do, where you need to have the corresponding icon on to show it.

This could be alot of work though, since I don't really know if 3D models of each tier in each division exists. I might be odd showing off a silver 1 symbol while being silver 5.

I just feel like it would be hilarious to dive someone, have it fail, then show off your bronze ranked symbol. The Mastery level makes some funny things happen in game, and I feel like these would also. Having another reason to reach that dream rank and being able to show it off would also be nice.

Technically speaking, LoL has a hidden ELO system for matchmaking; which means that the odds of a bronze player playing with or against a diamond player is highly unlikely (unless in custom). Most of the games played are players with similar ELO levels, so bronze players would play with bronzes and plats will play with plats. It wouldn't make sense for bronze players showing off their bronze badges to other bronze players.

What if you're playing normals or bots?

Yeah the idea was more or less for normals. I run into bronze through diamond daily in normals.

I still think flashing a bronze symbol to another bronze player is hilarious. Would you guys not love to have this?

I just like the spirit of the concept. I flash Mastery whenever I do something cool with a champ I'm good at, being able to flash Rank for similar moments where Mastery wouldn't cut it just seems like a logical next step.

you know what rito should add? a symbol if you play a champion for the first time, like you outplay someone hard while playing zed for the first time and then show this icon like: lol! No idea what i am doing!
