Proposal- New Section to Champ Select Roles- Champion Pool

A nice quality of life change that I feel Riot could implement involves adding a section to champion select. When selecting your champion, you have the option to filter champions by role so why not add a section at the end of the line that allows a player to look exclusively at champions they have designated in their "champion pool" which have been chosen by the player on their profile (much like how item sets can be done now)?

This will make champion selection smoother (IMO) and allow a player to focus more on their preferred/good champions for league/a role rather than combing through all champions to make a decision based on team comp (ally or enemy comp) or for "counters"/combo champions that they may not be good at. Players also tend to have more fun and do better while playing familiar champions so this may inadvertently lower toxicity in games overall, but it's pretty far-fetched to think it will lower toxicity let alone guarantee it (since if a player does bad on a champion they like it'll likely make them mad/angry).

I'm unsure if this has been mentioned before, or how effective or needed it is, but I figured it would be a nice quality of life change and may help newer and experienced players with decision making in champion select.

I think there is already something like this. idk how to do it but I once say my brother have a few “favorite” champ options that are at the top of the list in champ select. I don’t remember if the favorited champs are shown when you don’t have the list filtered by roles, but I do remember that when he pressed the bot lane filter option there was his favorited bot champs at the top of the list.

On the topic of your idea. Tell me if I am wrong, so you are saying that riot should add a “champion pool” filter option that is next to the filter options for roles.

So you can add any champs to this champ pool, regardless of the champion’s designated lane in the champ select lane filters, right?
