Feature request: Take playing style into account when creating teams

nolla nolla··1 votes·521 views

Many people have different play styles. Some prefer solo pushes and never grouping, others prefer to group. Some are more careful and others go all in often. Some players play mainly jungle, others play all positions (fill).

I would suggest that Riot would take these into account when creating teams. Especially in ranked tensions are high when 4 players have common playing style and 1 player is totally opposite. Usually this leads to unneeded arguments and requests for this 1 person to adapt to others, which in my experience rarely happens. And game turns into 4v5 match because of one player. So let all solo pushers play together, all-in players play together and more careful players play together.

Good team combo has been more important in current (ending) season as one player rarely can carry, but one player not playing with the team usually guarantees loss. Maybe on average players lose and win equal amount because of un-matching play styles, but surely everyone remembers the bad games which was caused by one player. And this casts a shadow over whole League of Legends. So I request Riot to add this feature into game to improve experience for all players.

And how exactly will they figure out who does what without having their 30 Rioters that work on this subject watch 10 millions of games played every day?

I am sure Riot has data scientists that can create algorithm for this. Amazon and others use purchase and website navigation patterns to detect what you are most likely to buy next. It should be similarly possible for Riot to track user actions in games and group them with different play styles.

Really you are comparing searches to actions player does in game?

I would suggest you read about data science and machine learning (e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/598726/overwhelmed-by-machine-learning-is-there-an-ml101-book/). There are already plenty of companies doing classification like grouping of users based on their actions wether it is search, navigation, buying and so on. Also it is quite easy to do predictive analytics that will predict what league you will reach and how long it takes. All this is something that is being done by all start-ups and plenty of large companies.

In any case I am sure Riot has skills to do it. I would like to get support for this feature request as I really believe it would improve the experience and reduce the rage in the games.

Even if this was possible to do, Riot can't even fix all the gamebreaking bugs Azir had(and some he still has) before releasing him, i don't think they could pull anything like this off ever
