Item presets

[gusty valve]

Hi, would it be possible to implement item presets for each hero?

I don't want to be scrolling through the entire catalog mid game trying to find something I have seen before.
(I know you can click left side to look for the stat you want to improve but it doesn't help you if you are looking for an ability like CD decrease on hit).

It would be way easier if we could just get our own "favourite" category like we have for tank, support, etc. rn where it would suggest the items we have placed in before from the item tab in the game hub.

Thank you, Chi.

I need in Match a favourite category for items for evry Hero where i can choose items bevor starting match. On ps5 or Xbox, IT Takes to Match time to Take the Item U want. PC have IT Match easyer.

I would love this, but unfortunately I doubt we will get it - and if we do, it won't be any time soon.
Ace himself has said this is a low priority and it doesn't help increase the QoL or retention rate of newer players (according to the data he referenced).

Keeping newer players and having systems that help with that - as well as monetary systems for those players - are what they are primarily concerned with right now.

So unless they've changed their tune in the recent months, I wouldn't hold out hope for this system.

Many players have requested this feature and it's been basically shot down every single time - and the times it hasn't, it has been a strong maybe for the distant future.

How is qql not helping with player retention tho .. if they just put a bit time into small things like that (imo fixing matchmaking etc. is more time consuming) I think people would perceive the game as more put together.

Thank you for the info tho, I just started to play like 2 weeks ago & didn't stalk any roadmaps or anything. (:

Many people have posed that same question and said the same thing. It's very unfortunate that the team doesn't see it as important of a feature as we do.
They really need to put more more effort into the small things like systems like that, art, etc, absolutely.

Glad to hear you just joined us! Hopefully you stay for a while and hopefully Omeda can deliver something that can keep you around c:

do it so my enemys dont counterbuild anymore ill already see the grim adcs feasting

No no don't understand me wrong. It won't be a fix "you can only buy those items" but rather a slot you can chose with the fav items you put in. You should still be able to access the regular store.

The issue is, people take a lot of the recommended to heart. Plasma Sword on Grim is not it. While a 'loaduout' would be cool, a lot of the people who ask for this are people who do not know the items for shit. Their is actually very little build versatility. If you are Serious with either your 'meta' or 'meme' build, you're going to know what you're going for, making a loadout feature irrelevant.

The recommended items for heroes could be better. That I agree with 100%

So maybe instead of caring about this QoL feature, you just know your match up, know what works or could work, and build accordingly.

You're not going to be lets say Feng Mao and you're going against an AP heavy team and pick a different build other than what kills everyone the best regardless of the mix of AD/Ap

You're going to build pen and CDR and be Feng Mao

At most this is for someone being Steel or Sev and they just need to change an items depending on team comp. and its really not needed if you know the items

i know but if you give people the option to do that even more people will google best sev build and just straight build that no matter what

[glacial bough]

i mean sure full dps chars are mostly built the same but even in mid you choose items depending on your enemys. so are brusers and supports

i disagree a loadout system removes pointless options streamlining the build process for both experienced and new plays with the bonus of not overloading new players. After a certain point u are forced to flex build but u dont need every item in the game to flex build if u know what i mean

i could have build with the meta option + all the flex items i would reasonable need on one page instead of surfing through 100s of items to find what i need

deadlock does this well and its one of the reason i kept playing i didnt have to learn all the item effects because a prebuild was available to me and it let me learn the items i needed first before i became comfortable in just making what i want

I feel like a item/build bookmark would help making builds in general
