Showing available hextech chests in champ select, anyone?

Now don't get me wrong I enjoy the Hextech chest system very much, I just don't think the concept of limiting players to getting one chest from one champion per week was very well thought out in terms of seeing who you have and have not gotten a chest on.

So a small idea for a solution came into my head which is basically allowing players to see, in champion selection, who they have and have not gotten that shiny shiny chest of goodies on yet.It would basically go something like this..

Option 1: The player hovers their mouse over the icon and after a brief delay a small box will a appear with either a grayed out chest, or a colored chest just like when you view them in the roster.

or

Option 2: When the player clicks the champion as their desired pick, on the bottom bar where you can see your summoner spells, runes / masteries and the lock button would again. Be another chest that shows gray or colored in deepening if its available or not.

In all honesty it would just be a ease of use idea, since currently the only way to see what champions you have earned a box on are by going to your profile > clicking on champions > then sorting by most recently played since there is no option right now to sort by highest season ranking. Which is a really annoying process to go through when all you want to do is play and get a box because a keys burning a hole in your inventory.

Sorry I just want to inform you of something about this here: Each champion can only get you one Mastery Chest per Season, but you can get four chests a month on any champion you haven't already earned a chest with.

2016 Season Update: Champion Mastery

Mastery Chests

Earn locked Mastery Chests by performing well across a variety of champions or as part of a team. When you or someone in your premade party earns any S rank, you’ll acquire a chest. You can earn up to four chests each month, and each champion you play can earn you one chest per season.

You’ll see which champs you’re eligible for in champ select and on your champ details page.

They do need to get to work on the champion select way of knowing which champions you already have gotten a chest with though. I hope it gets done soon.
