Queue Items to Auto Buy Away From Shop

Please add a feature or function where you can click on an item away from the shop to queue it for purchase and when you recall to fountain it automatically purchases it. There is a queue order too like you can label which to buy first by left clicking each item in the order of your choice up to six and on the bottom next to the purchase or buy button would have queue or something . In my opinion i feel like league would feel a bit smoother if they added this function.

Yes please. I need more players to kill while they are recalling.

Jokes apart, no. We already have custom item sets, this feature would only be a waste of time and money for the developers.

I see two concerns:

If you changed your mind but forgot—e.g. you queue up a Longsword but then decide actually you want a Cloth Armor because you're a bit behind, but then you run out of gold. Undo can mostly take care of this, but at the cost of a) the healing done before the undo, and b) if e.g. Karthus ulted which cancels undo. This is also easily countered by just remembering, but it seems like it could be one of those things that ends up being annoying just often enough that I decide not to use it.
The logic behind queueing up big items like Stattik Shiv—do you want to get Zeal or Avarice Blade first, and depending on which one, do you want a Brawler's Gloves or a Dagger? I don't think an automatic system can ever be that smart. The alternative would be to queue up individual pieces (Brawler's Gloves, Dagger, Zeal, Brawler's Gloves, Avarice Blade, Stattik Shiv), but that's tedious IMO and you're better off just getting things once you back.

That's not to say that these concerns make it a bad idea. In fact, properly implemented, I think it'd be great. Maybe it could be something that only comes up while you're recalling, which is usually when I'm looking at items anyway. But I wonder if you have any thoughts on those two things.

What if i have enough for a vamp scepter but bf is the next item on my list? What if you made something that just allowed you to change the suggested items? What if you could then just click on that item and buy while walking off the fountain and take 0 game time to do it since you are walking anyways? What if trix aren't for kids?

Reminds me of the item queue system they use in DotA2.

I wouldn't mind having that in this game, needed or no.

So many comments thinking that you're gonna queue up your entire build at the start of the game. This would be a nice time save to queue your items during recall and can start walking to lane immediately rather than wasting time finding the items you want or trying to rush to click them all while walking away.

Not vital, but it could be a nice little touch if they make a good interface for it.

I dunno about you but that makes it sould like macroing to me... granted I am still working out my Black Widow keyboard with Macroing on other things. I don't quite understand the point of macroing so I don't bother with it.
