[FeatureRequest] Tournament API Code generation #38

Open koszmar3k opened 5 years ago

koszmar3k commented 5 years ago

Hello, I would like to request a possibility to generate tournament codes with specific mapIds and gamemode parameters. If the availability of the map and/or mode is an issue in itself then, attempt to generate such a code could simply return an error.

The reason for the request is that currently we are organizing all sort of tournaments including nexus blitz and the process of the players creating a lobby with a randomly generated password and name as well as joining through custom lobbies slows down the bracket and affects user experience.

Would this request be possible to implement? It's been 3 years, and people really want to try out gamemode parameters etc. The implementation of this crucial to community feature is not even considered :(

Another issue is the game configuration, which simply cannot be selected. At the time we would like to organize ARAM-like tournaments, where people can reroll, trade and can select rerolled champions from the top panel, just like in classic ARAM. However, the closest it gets - creating aram map with configId: 4 (which stands for All Random).

Pretty please, Riot, let developers like me and @koszmar3k customize and try out configs for gamemodes and custom lobbies. We want to bring in more players by creating more diversity in this game. Look at the ARAM's popularity and success, which started because you allowed 'All Random' config to be executed on 1v1 map, which became popular back in season 4.

Just the same can happen to any other new gamemode that could emerge as a result of this game-changing (both literally and figuratively) feature!

Please, Riot, consider bring it to life. I've been with this game since season 3 and the experience is just withering at least for me personally. At this point, playing customs like ABAM and 'hide and seek' on Summoners rift map is the most fun I get out of league.

Way to go implying a fake audience for an arguments sake 🤔

@LightshieldDotDev Let's keep it civil.

@AzuStar typically with feature requests like this, they get considered when there's work already prioritized in a given problem space. For the tournaments service, there isn't any current work being done in this area so it's a difficult argument to tell a team they should drop what they're doing, shift focus, and add in a feature like this. We usually wait until the team has prioritized work on tournaments and provide them with feedback on ways the service could be improved and let them prioritize these requests. I hope that sheds light on why requests like this can take a while.
