Is it possible to make a "Skins owned" feature in Collection?

Are you gonna add a 'Random' button for skin selection?

Will there be a chance to set our profile background with our favorite champ and not with the most frequently played champ? I hate to see shen (nothing personal with shen mains, it's just an example D:) as my profile background just because i wanted to have fun with him instead of my loved mains like Jhin, Elise or Draaaaaven? Speaking seriously, i think letting us to choose our champ background (and maybe their respective skins) is a way to make your profile more "unique" and more "personal". If you haven't considered this, then please do it. Thnx

Will the new client be available for Linux now that you dropped the dependency on Adobe Air?

I've always thought it would be cool if we were able to make custom champion lists that can be searched for through key words during champion select (just like when you type "marksman" in the search bar and all the marksmen are displayed). It would really help players like me that have a bad memory. Do you plan to do something like this?

Not sure if this has been mentioned anywhere else, but will we be able to reorder our Rune and Mastery pages without completely tearing them apart and putting them back together again?

Noice. I can't wait for the new Client to be available to everyone! :3

Do you plan on reinstating the feature of being able to buy skins during champ select for the new client?

AkitaSaito6/16/2016, 8:17:00 PM3 votes

Do you think you'll be able to release the client by the end of this year?

Asked this last time, was among top comments, didn't receive an answer. Take two!

Considering the overwhelming masses of people that called for its return post-removal, will the ability to hear others' champion's select quotes return in the final client? If so, will there be a feature for those few who do not wish to hear them to disable them? I feel, if any time, this is the right time to plan this out so everybody is satisfied. Losing this feature was pretty awful since it charged the atmosphere and made champion select more enjoyable.

The current client has an indication of what champions have earned a chest for the season, but it's not shown during champion select. Is this something that will be implemented in the new client, to allow people clear, visual understanding of what champions have earned a chest during champion select?

will resizing the client exist or not? the legacy client doesnt resize the contents espcially the store when resizing the window, so will there be some considration to this or will it stay fixed?

Evelyn Endwise6/16/2016, 8:20:35 PM2 votes

Trivial concern, but Kindred's splash in the profile section doesn't show Wolf (He's slightly blocked out) which really hurts the whole Lamb AND Wolf theme going on. (This was the case a while ago, unsure if fixed).

How I can see my friend runes or masteries, we just won't be able or it wasn't implemented yet?

Deep Terror Nami6/16/2016, 8:33:15 PM2 votes

Will the updated client allow for better implementation of changes in-game (such as new HUD options), or only changes to the client (such as Friend Request information)?

When can we expect the new shop interface being implemented for alpha? Really excited cause everything else looks cool and minimalistic!

My server (LAS) doesn't have Ranked 3v3s, and ranked 5v5s were removed at the begonning of the season when Dynamic Queue was introduced, will you remove those two from the profile page in later builds?
