Regarding noting Champion and Item icons

Just a thought that might make typing on the boards a lot smoother process.

I think a handy tool would be if we had a faster method to simply type in champions and items to have the icon appear in our posts. I love using the icons because I think they can make a post look very neat and organized in the right place, but having to stop, locate the icon, click on it resume typing, etc, is a jarring effect to someone who can type pretty quickly and likes having their thought process uninterrupted.

For example, right now Aatrox = champion:266 with 2 { on each side to get the icon appear to type, now, I have been playing a long time but remembering the number applied to a champion like this would make it hard to memorize and type out, and then resume the thought.

What would be nice is if we could type out something like... [Aatrox] and have the code translate it to Aatrox for us automatically like Markdown already does for people using other formatting methods.

Same for Items and Spells. summoner 4 = [Flash] and item 3083 = [Warmog's Armor]

Not sure if a Board Dev will see this ever or not, but would definitely be a nice tool for us to have, I think!

That seems interesting! The main thing is, I don't really see people use these icons very much, not unless they're deliberately using them, and if so they'd simply use the bottom tab to search champs/items.

I do wonder if this change would make them used more, however!
