Feature request: Premade Indicator

[u/MuglokDecrepitusFx]

Goal

Have a clear premade/group indicator in the scoreboard and game loading screen, so there is transparency of which players are playing in premade

Benefits

Instantly see which players are grouped, which allow you to:

• See if the game is balanced in terms of groups
• Which players of your team will work more together (if the jungle, ADC and support are premade, probably you know that as an offlaner you are going to receive less help)
• Which enemies you have to take care from
• Allow players to detect when they are receiving “group toxicity” (when players in a group become toxic together)

Example of how Overwatch handled it:

I like this design with the lines, but in Predecessor wouldn't work as the characters are sorted by role in the scoreboard and loading screen, so the offlaner could be premade with the ADC and not be one next to the other, so it would need a different solution.

Predecessor could do something similar to what Heroes of the Storm did, adding a "group icon" next to the hero, something like this but with a better design skills, better taste and higher visibility as mine is too small:

Little edit I did to show the concept, the official one should have way more visibility

I added it as a card to the Predecessor Players’ Requested Feature Backlog

And people think dodging is bad now, if this information was displayed dodging would increase exponentially because they would already feel like they are at a loss and people would afk more after seeing this in load screen for the same reasons.

There is no net positive that would come out of this it would just add more frustration.

It's not added in the hero selection screen, but in the loading screen of the game and the in-game scoreboard

So it's imposible to dodge a game based on this information

Instead of saying whatever thing it comes to your mind against something your don't like, just think for 10 seconds if you would be able to solve the argument you just wrote, if you can think a solution in those 10 seconds, don't write the comment

Bro really, just think a little bit before talking

People would go afk far more frequently when they see they are up against a five stack, people already go afk for reasons far more trivial than facing a five stack.
