A new shop feature that buys multiple items from a premade item set

Make a "buy set" button to buy all the items in a subcategory(like starting items) in the shop. The game will purchase left to right, making a sort of "que", so if I have 3 items in my subcategory and can only afford the far left and centre item it will prioritize those. Also be sure that the undo function works with this purchase, and the items you want excluded Riot, like a elixirs or homeguard, are not refundable even when purchased in this manner.

This will primarily help early game, when 10 seconds makes a difference when getting to the jungle, or back to lane, because those 10 seconds can mean losing enough creeps and BAM, guess who hit level 6 first? NOT YOU. Mid and late game usually give you enough time not only to manualy buy items, but go ahead and have a debate on what to get. Furthermore buying the pots is raaaaaaaaaaaddddddddd annoying, the game cant handle quick buys sometimes, especially with pots and wards.

This would be too situational to really be effective. EX. the set has berserker grieves and pots but you only have 960 (berserkers are 1000) Does it not buy anything in this situation, if it does what would it buy?

Trying to plan out your first back let alone anything past that before you are in-game is really hard to do unless you want to make 15 first back sets. The only time I see this being useful is for the very first purchase of the game, which you are forced to wait there for 15 seconds anyways.

Also right click to purchase.
