Create functionality for clubs

I make this post every year and I am going to make it once more till I get a response from a red Rioter.

Clubs offer nothing at the moment. Whether I am in a club or not, doesn't give me any features.

Clubs can do so much more for the game!

Lets start with what clubs can bring to LOL:

  • Increase loyalty to the game.
  • Make the game more fun.
  • Reduce toxicity.
  • Help new players --> grow player base.
  • Offer more opportunities for tournaments and lore.

I will now proceed to explain what I mean with clubs / clans. I will explain how the aforementioned benefit points can be achieved.

Club and club features:

A club is a group of people who share common characteristics and interests. These clubs are usually share ranks and have some policies / conditions in order to allow others to be registered to them.

What should clubs offer?

  • Clubs should allow to add unlimited number of players.
  • Clubs should have their own emblem, their own name, their own page (within the client or a separate web page) where they can add their own lore and rules/requirements. Players can visit this page via the client and see clan stats and register to the clan.
  • Clubs should have ranks. E.g Major, Captain, sergeant, corporal, soldier. Each rank will have specific capabilities in the clan (inviting new players, kicking players, promoting players, ORGANIZING CLAN WARS)
  • Clans should have their own ranking. Clan should sum up points of their players and rank among other clans.
  • Clans should have their own bank. Members of the clans can deposit blue essence to buy craft for their clan. For example blue essence can be use to buy decorations for their clan emblem or use blue essence to participate in a tournament. RP can also be used.
  • there should be a clan section where people can register/apply for a clan. The respective clan members will then review the player and act accordingly.

There are plenty of features to implement.

How will the benefit points be achieved.

For the first 2 points I believe clans are fun. They make the game more meaningful. The vs element between clans will be especially fun.

It will reduce toxicity as a player / club won't want to play with toxic people. So they will force them to be non-toxic. Clans won't want to have clan wars with non sportsmanlike clans.

It will help new players because people will want to assign new talents to their teams and grow.

Also I believe lore can be created around clans and adding your own emblem in the summoners rift when playing in vs events will also be a cool feature.

I'm not a huge fan of the clan system on mobile games. I'm often one of few active members in whatever clan I join. Also, I like being able to be in multiple clubs (one with my friends, one with my champ mains, and one with my school). Although, I completely agree that current clans serve no purpose outside of the clan tag and the group chat. I would like to see them utilized more just maybe not ranking them. Club Challenges for blue essence or XP would be sick though.

Ok for 1350 RP you can now join a clan, the clan lets you have an icon that you can spraypaint on the ground... we're also going to promise vague things but never actually implement anything and leave the system to rot

Clans should have their own bank. Members of the clans can deposit blue essence to buy craft for their clan. For example blue essence can be use to buy decorations for their clan

The Problem might be that favouritism is gonna come at some point e.g the people who put the most essence in the bank will have a better rank etc. but I don't think you can avoid that.

But over all that might actually work out well and i'd be down for that to happen as long as riot won't capitalise on that idea
