Hello rito!!

with the increasing amount of champs and all.

given how small the icons are in the grid view. its kinda hard to find the champion you are looking for. i know there is a search bar but that's not enough trust me.

when not picking for your own comfort role and especially when you are trying to fill a spot. Having a filter or at least categorized view of the champions based on their main role is very helpful. This is useful when you want to think between which say for example, support you want to pick or personally, top laner to pick.

having a sorted view with just top laners in there or tanks and fighters all lined up can help give you a better idea on who to pick more than that its a better REMINDER of forgotten champs.

also generally League lacks a sorted view for champs. For example in dota 2 we have the grid split into 2 rows with Radiant and Dire and 3 columns for each main attribute

Strength - Agility - Intelligence.

even though i dont usually use this grid view because the big card view is kinda better anyway. it still helps sometimes when wanting to remember some good picks that dont come to your mind right away.

Something that would look like this for league:

Tanks: Alistar Amumu Chogath DrMundo Galio Garen Hecarim JarvanIV Shen Renekton Rammus Maokai Sion Singed

Fighters: Aatrox Yasuo MonkeyKing Tryndamere Diana Evelynn Fiora Gangplank Irelia Jayce LeeSin

Assassins: Leblanc Malzahar Rengar Shaco Talon Zed

Mages: Brand Cassiopeia Fiddlesticks Heimerdinger Lissandra Lux Lulu Morgana Orianna Swain Syndra Velkoz Veigar Viktor Vladimir Zyra Xerath

Supports: Bard Blitzcrank Braum Janna Nami Sona Soraka Taric Thresh Zilean

Marksmen: Ashe Caitlyn Corki Ezreal Graves Kindred Kalista Jinx KogMaw Lucian MissFortune Quinn Sivir Vayne Varus

now i know i screwed up some of the roles im pretty sure. but it gets the point across hopefully.

also it would be awesome if you can have a filter that would remove the other rows and just keep selected roles up. say someone who is going top most likely wont be going a marksmen or support or mages for the sake of argument. so give the player the ability to just keep fighters and tanks. This will also be great.

up vote for category view!! lets do this.

i cant believe how a post to make life easy in champion select and just giving more options that don't even tinker with the balance of the game gets down voted. im not even ranting for my favorite champions! wow a secondary view to the primary BULK view that we already have is viewed as a nerf to the game by this community omg!

even heroes have this type of filtering with the top side icons, where you can filter WoW, SC, Diablo, and Blizz games IN COMBINATION with assassins, specialists, warriors, and supports!!

hell i would even add up to League the ability the sort Champions by factions (Demacians, Noxians, Freljordians, Piltoverans, Zaunian, Ionian etc) because the game provides it! It would even add more flavor to the game! but my god some people are close minded!

this is a user interface suggestion. that riot is ALREADY WORKING ON CHANGING WITH THE UPCOMING SEASON!! they already showed us teasers of the new team builder and champ select orders and picks and roles before going into a game!

why would it be harmful to slip in a few more filters or category views with the upcoming changes?

Dont worry im not asking riot to do away with your precious BULK view... just asking them to add more views... and it would be better if you can choose the Default view from the options menu in the main screen so that you dont have to choose your favorite view every time you enter the game...
