[CLIENT] Chroma selected when solo-queueing for team builder not put into effect in game

Hello community!

I bought the Koi Nami Chroma pack as encouragement to learn Nami. When I solo-queued in team builder I selected a different color (yellow) than I had in a draft game previously (teal/grey), and in game she was the teal/grey I'd used in the draft game. At first I thought I had just forgotten to change it, but I played another team builder, tried switching it to yellow, and the same thing happened (I double checked :3). Nothing wrong with the teal/grey Nami I just wanted to switch it up. And I should be able too, eh?

Step by step:

  1. Play draft pick with friends. Choose Nami. Pick the teal/grey Koi Nami Chroma. Win game.
  2. Play team builder cuz u suck with Nami and you're not with friends. Pick the yellow Koi Nami Chroma. Skin appears teal/grey in game. Lose game.
  3. Play team builder again cuz losing sucks. Pick the yellow Koi Nami Chroma again. Skin appears teal/grey in game again. Win game.

Idk if this is a problem with other chroma packs, but while I don't have the confidence to play Nami in draft games, I'd like to be able to use all the chromas I have in team builder without having to play a different game type for 20+ minutes to change it. Also to coordinate with friends if we ever do team builder together. Skin coordination, when possible, is important to me.

BONUS BUG: Not so much a BUG... but a suggestion. I ALSO just bought a ward skin! That adorable penguin... and I wanted to use it in the team builder game, but there was no option to select a ward skin in the preparation for a team builder game. So I've played two games and have yet to use my new ward skin :3. Please add a way to select a ward skin for team builder games!

Thank you! <3

I had this same issue last week and I sent in a report to Riot! They said chromas don't work in team builder yet, and linked me to a page about chroma packs where it does mention, at some point, that chromas do not work in team builder. I know, kind of wonky. I'm not sure they're even working on fixing it. It certainly feels like Riot has further chroma progress on indefinite hold while they try to find a way to implement them that doesn't make everyone so outraged and/or disappointed.

You can open the store page with wards from the team builder interface and change your ward. You just hit the little home icon up top to get back to the team builder screen. The tough part is remembering to do it.
