LOL: Riot's great idea to improve communication that never reached the game

The community of League of Legends usually claims Riot constant improvements for all game systems and one of the most repeated ideas is to add new fast notices to communicate with our colleagues. From the developer are not usually very receptive to carry out these changes without much of the players understand the reason. However, the most painful thing is that the company itself has had great ideas that finally did not get to introduce.

A great change that never came to League of Legends

One of the most interesting improvements he was going to receive the League of Legends announcements system was related to "This on Road". This indication is the one that all players use when they are directed to a fight or planned to go to a certain area. However, it offers us half information. Although we know that our partner will come, it does not offer us any reference to the distance to which it is, forcing us to look at the map or to intuit by the intensity of the notices how long it will take to reach the marked position.

During some internal test phases of Riot Games, however, The notice added additional information as " it is coming".

The truth is that the improvement is evident and would have allowed us to have more information about our colleagues without being too annoying , opening the door to other indications. Perhaps not to show only in the chat could exist a colored code in the notice or show a different form based on the distance of our colleagues. The truth is that in a game that does not have a voice chat and does not intend to add it, it would be appreciated not to have to take an eye on the map in the middle of a fight in which we are struggling to end the rival or keep alive.

Although employees of the company have confirmed that the image is part of its tests and that they tested it for some time, has not transcended the reason why they did not add . Even if it was a notification in the chat would improve things and allow us to play with greater coordination. However, Riot Games never added and does not seem to be almost four years after showing it for the first time, they will encourage this element in League of Legends.
