Option to buy champs in champ select?

seems pretty useful to have on pbe and live, for pbe u can buy the champ for skins and for live you can use it for someone who you feel like playing in the moment or someone you couldnt buy bc of Q being too fast, idk, seems useful

Edit: forgot to mention, this would not be allowed in ranked

I doubt anyone would feel comfortable having a teammate play a new champion they bought literally seconds befoe the start of a game.

Obviously it would be for pock trades mostly. Second, people can do that anyways before entering champ select and you wouldn't know it so it really makes no difference there.

Then...what difference does it make if you can buy a champ in champ select then?

If someone in queue wants to switch champs with you. Or you’ve been practicing a champ for a well while they’re free, but then forgot that today was the day they rotated and you don’t own them yet.

I mean, what’s the downside of letting you buy champs in champ select?

Ranked games. Nuff said.

I mean, what stops those exact people from buying the champ right before the game?

If someone’s dead set on trying a new champ in Ranked for the first time, you’re not gonna stop them.

I can only see upsides for this, from Riot’s perspective anyway.

this would be great for smurfs and terrible for newbies

the reason is that we're expected to know the champs we play at least on a basic level, maybe do a practice mode or something but at least look on the wiki
