In game status improvement!

In my opinion the in game status that you see when you hover over a friend needs improvement. All you see currently is the gamemode they are playing, the champion they are playing and the matchtimer.

Let's say you are trying to squad up with your friend, but he/she is in a ranked game on summoners rift. The matchtimer says 30 minutes in game. There is no way for you to know if the game will be ending soon and your friend is currently at nexus or the game will be another 20 minutes long.

The only way is to spectate their game or whisper if they are almost done with their game (which it's up to your friend who is probably focusing on the game to respond) . If you wanna squad up with multiple of your friends this can be a long process to message them all or to spectate them all.

So my Idea is to put ingame stats like: 'Tower takedowns, Dragon kills, Killscore and Baron Buff possesion' in that same little window. This way you can better tell if a game is about to end or what exactly is happening. You now know your friend is winning the game (or losing, Probably losing because you are better! :P) and how many towers there are destroyed and if they are about to end the game. I don't think it's something hard to implement. It's a small feature that I think will save so much time because you can decide whether to hop into another game or to wait without knowledge.

Here is a visual of how I pictured it should look like: https://prnt.sc/jrsv8u https://prnt.sc/jrsvpw

The reason I didn't put 'Gold per team' is because it has to update every second. Maybe that will cause problems or bugs and maybe it won't be accurate. But maybe if Riot decides to implement this they can work things out.

Also the team your friend is on is always displayed on the left side. So if he/she is on the red side it will switch up.

> The reason I came up with this idea is because countless of times I see my friends ingame and the matchtimer displays 40 minutes. And so I think to myself: 'I'll just wait till they are done' or i'll message them asking if they are almost done and they don't respond back. and then the game goes on for another 20 minutes. And sometimes if I don't decide to wait. I hop into a game getting 5 minutes in I get a whisper back:' Yeah im done join me'

What do you guys think? If you have better ideas or just think you don't run into this problem. Or did I miss something? Let me know :D
