Suggestion for New Champion Select

New Champion Select is awesome!

Probably someone else pointed this before on PBE, but could you please add an option to organize champions according to their roles?

Example:

The role I'm about to play is Bot and it's my turn to choose my champion. Somewhere in the screen should be buttons with icons of the roles Top, Jungle, Mid, Bot and Support. If I press the button with the "Bot" icon, the interface should display champions that fits the role.

Here the "Bot" icon is pressed so the interface is displaying ADC's. http://imgur.com/m4WEFjw

Here the "Support" icon is pressed so the interface is displaying Supports. http://imgur.com/c2KTaJs

If you press again the same button you should be able to see all the champions again, or there could be another button.

I don't know what you guys may think about the idea.

We already have a search bar to help us find a specific champion, but it should help a lot having a way to organize champions or only seeing champions according to the role we're about to play.

excellent suggestion. now i'd just have to remember that half my supports are listed under jungle, my adcs are listed under support, and my junglers are listed under mid ヽ༼ຈل͜ຈ༽ﾉ

If I'm not mistaken all the champions have on their description the roles they can play. Riot can use this information to expand the pool of champions you can see when you press the button with the icon of the role you're about to play.

They need to remember your prefered roles, at the very least when you click "Play Again"

Bot should be renamed to Bot Carry. Alternatively, they can remove the support option and then when you click Bot, it shows 2 more options: Carry, Support.

You can actually find champions by their classifications as well, so if you want to find a Marksman for bot lane, you can type in "Marksman" in the search bar, and it'll give you all the adcs in the game (give or take a couple).

I feel like it's still not as convenient as it could be, should be.

If you wrote it in plural, it won't work, it has to be type out "Marksman". That's how I always gather my adc picks.

Unless Riot did something recently, since I actually haven't played adc in a while.
