Response to -Ranked 2019: Rewards and Splits /Devdiaries
In the video on the client Ed A.K.A SapMagic, Lead for the Ranked team covered a question they received from social media.
The question was "Is there any payoff for hitting certain ranks in multiple positions? - Could a possible five Victorious skins or extra chroma be on the table?"
Ed responded by basically saying we dont know but we want the suggestions from the community.
Heres my suggestion.
Titles. Lets think about a feature in the game, where rather than earning blue essence and purchasing things within the game with them, there are feats that must be accomplished in order to unlock content. (Or maybe feats that must be completed before the content becomes available for purchase)
These content are unique titles to the feat....for example of what i mean when i say Title
Most people who have played MMOs are farmilliar with earning some form of a Username altering title in PVP ex. My IGN is Mike and i became #1 in the PVP arena, i unlocked the title Arena Master..... so now my name appears to all players as Mike - Arena Master.
Something like this could be implemented in league where...using this question presented in the video... a title could be given as ex. Mike - Five Headed Dragon (For acheaving gold+ in all 5 lanes)
This could also give room for respect on 1-Trick-Pony for example..... if im a Kat 1trick and i get to gold + with idk...80%+ of my games on Kat i unlock a title as Mike - Kat Enthusiast or Mike - Katarina 1TP
Give out free titles at start of the feature to all the players that have been around sence beta and season 1.
