Idea to add clarity during champion select

During game, when a teamate types in chat it will show for example: Nymphß (Ahri): Hey guys, gl hf Summoner_Name, Champion, Text.

During champion select however, there is no easy distinction for when someone types something in chat to tell who is saying what.

I thought about this last night as during champ select several members on my team were discussing switching roles with each other as they all got auto-filled into stuff they weren't comfortable on. It was insanely difficult to keep track of who was saying what and associating their unique and long summoner names to what they were saying. I found myself reading their usernames at the bottom in chat, then having to look back up to which player said that and what role they were currently assigned.

Proposal: Similar to how the in-game chat mentions who's saying what by the champion they're playing, perhaps the in-client champ select chat could have a little blurb next to a summoner's name with the role they were assigned? Or maybe colour co-ordinate the roles? Or even use the role icons? Ex. Nymphß (Support): Hey guys, anyone want to switch roles? Summoner_Name, Role, Text

If this got implemented, it would really help with co-ordinating during champion select.

The point is, I don't care who they are. Their summoner names are irrelevant to the game.

I'm not sure how it should be implemented but I like the general idea.

Do you not know how to read names?
