Champion select should show which skin we use.

During champ select, wouldn't it be nice if we saw what skin our teammates are using when they select a champ? Instead of showing the classic skin everytime, why not advertise the skin you're using too?

Sometimes I want to get a theme going. Like a Bloodmoon team or a "Cowboy" team. I use Bloodmoon Thresh and Longhorn Alistar (thanks for the skin rework on Ali btw!!!!!!!!!!!). Sometimes I just want to see a team theme.

So imagine an ally picks Yasuo, and the Yasuo we see them choose is Bloodmoon Yasuo. I can be like oh mer gawd I have Bloodmoon Thresh- let's do this. He can also pick High Noon Yasuo and I'm like Longhorn Ali we got this cowboy. But I don't know if he has the skin until after all the champs have been selected, or if I ask directly. It would be easier to coordinate a theme if we didn't need to communicate which skins we have available.

I mean, it's just something that would make champ select a little more fun. The only real benefit would be making a theme- but wouldn't it be pretty cool? And there are tons of themes- like I pointed out with Yasuo- I can get Thresh or Ali to fit a theme- but I don't know if there will be a theme until the pre-game loading screen. I also have Guardian of the Sands Rammus, and I know a viable team can be made with the Shurima theme. I've never had a full team with one theme- and it would make me really happy to get in a game where we all have matching outfits. That's a real team, my friends. We have uniforms.

This may confuse people, some champion icons look similar. also new players may or may not recognize the splash art of a skin, especially if it is rare or dis-continued.

It says the name of the champion when it's selected. We could simply see the name and skin of champion. For example, mine would show Alistar in his 'cowboy' gear, and would read: "Longhorn Alistar".

That's what the load screen is for, I don't think showing off in champ select should be a concern. You also have to play and win the game as well!
