Dynamic queue intention picks privacy

I don't like the fact that if you pick a champion during the initial intention phase of dynamic queue, that when it is your turn to pick, your intention pick is immediately displayed to the enemy before you lock in.

This harms the ability to early pick a champion for an ally, with the idea that you will trade with them. This puts my intended champion on display to the enemy. If I now pick a champion for an ally further down the picking order (especially when the champion is traditionally played in a different role), the enemy can simply steal my pick away from me. Just for helping an ally secure their champion.

This is incredibly harmful to being able to early pick for someone else. I've noticed that a lot of people, including myself, have stopped entering an intention pick. I suspect many have come to learn that it is harmful for trading, rendering the intention pick more or less useless.

Please, prevent the intention pick from being displayed to the enemy team. Do not show it until it is locked in, or until you "hover" click a different champion. This will make intention picks secret and allow trading to happen as normal without risking enemies stealing intention picks during a trade scenario.
