Can we add a lane indicator in champ select?

Let me describe a situation you're all familiar with. You enter a queue, get to champ select after people dodged 4 or five times, and then, half the team calls mid, while the rest calls top (which doesn't really matter since we have pick order, unless you play blind). Then they start calling out the rest of the roles, and since you are last pick, you end up having to scroll through an extense chat log to find out what spot you are filling. Happens often, right? Well, since we have some space to the left of the champ's portraits, why don't we use it to indicate where are we going (I mean, a bit more of clarity in champ select helps, right?). Here's a poorly made image I made to explicit my point (the team builder icons aren't really necessary) http://imgur.com/4wpNGFV I'd love to hear a red's thoughts on this.

Its a nice idea for sure, but even if these things are in place we cannot stop people from going to certain lanes. You cannot force a team to play the meta and have 1 top, 1 mid, 1 jungle and 2 bot. If a team wants to run dual ap bot, or double jungle then they have the right to do that.

The idea is focused on clarity, not to enforce the meta, so everyone can know at a glance where everyone is going (so you don't end with 2 mids because one guy missed a line in the chat log).

Okay, i'm all for that as long as they did have the option to go double mid (if they both agreed and blah blah blah).

Yes please. I hate scrolling through a stupid duo talking about how high they are (or any of the other 1000 dumb things duos talk about in champ select) to try and find what lane everyone called.
