Would it be possible to make champion abilities readable in the loading screen?

Hi everyone,

I understand that this won't apply to the population of players who already know every ability of every champ and such.

But, in lieu of how large the champion pool is getting (and continuing to grow), I thought it'd be helpful to be able to read champion abilities during the loading screen.

This would be beneficial to both casual and competitive players; it could be particularly good for ARAM enthusiasts. It would better equip players - both new and experienced - to better understand champion abilities in general.

During champ select would get too cluttered, what with all the runes and the timer and such. It's important for players to choose their runes carefully and communicate with teammates during this time. So the loading screen would be the better place to make this a feature.

And yes, I understand that one could read up on the champion abilities before queuing, but sometimes when I play more or less familiar champions I find myself wanting to read the abilities for good measure. Of course, one could also read up once the game starts, but that would possibly hinder one's abilities to invade, scout, etc.

So, while this won't be very groundbreaking, I think it's a little thing that could go a long way for the community.

Any thoughts, opinions?

This is definitely something I would have loved when I was new (or honestly even now playing ARAM and getting a champ that was changed or I don't play much). My only fear is the current client is so damned buggy one more change might push it right over the edge.

They used to have that but removed it in one of their client upgrades. The fact that scaling numbers aren't available in game anywhere these days is insane.
