[Enhancement Request] New player enhancements
Hi All,
I am very new to LoL and I feel that there are some parts of it that are really not very noob friendly. One major problem I have is knowing what different champs do because there are so many and I am so new. I just wanted to share my thoughts on some enhancements that could be made to make the experience for new players a little better (and easier to learn the game). I am not sure if this goes here, or if there is an enhancement request area where this should go.
Character type on loading screen
Since I am very new, I have no idea what type of champs I am playing against. It would be great if the loading screen provided the stat page for the characters maybe on the bottom left of their display cards. The screen I am referring to is the screen you get if you click on a champ during champ select and look at their stats (tank, assassin, marksman, etc) and also shows if they are AD, AP, Support, etc. I feel this would help new players immensely if they knew what type of champs they are playing against.
Surrender for bad games
I am aware of the surrender time being 20 minutes, and there have been a few games where people have tried to surrender when we ended up winning in the end. I will give an example of why I think there should be another option for surrender: The opposing team had earned twice as much gold as we had. The opposing team had a lot more kills then we had. Our team had a total of 5 kills to their 29 kills. The opposing team had done more then twice the amount of damage we had. Yes this game was not fun.
Here is a link to the game http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/2252400573/234176190
All 5 players must agree to surrender rather then just 4. I feel this would be a pretty good indicator that everybody in the game can agree that this is not going to end well.
Low gold earned on all players. This option could be used in conjunction with the above option. The opposing team in the aforementioned game had earned nearly twice as much gold as our team.
Damage given to the opposing team is greater then 40 or 50%.
Request early surrender to opposing team (requiring 5 votes on the team initiating the vote and 50% on the opposing team). This might be an option as well. If all 5 players on the opposing team want to surrender early and are not having a good time, I would not be opposed to allowing an early surrender. Games are about having fun, and when you are getting beat down, it's not fun.
I think that if you used all three of these as an indicator of a game that is bad, you should allow a surrender earlier then 20 minutes. Again, I am very new, and there are probably games where all of these things are true and someone won, but I do not know. Feel free to add to the list or correct changes.
My goal for writing this is to just try and help new players a little better. I am new, I was playing with new people last night, and it was not fun. If a new player is joining games, and is not having fun, they may decide that this game is bad, when in reality, it's just hard to learn due to the amount of mechanics involved. I feel that making the game easier for new people to learn will make it much more fun for them.
