Role Based Summoner Icons

Greetings, Summoners. Valon Durey, here. Your resident Heimerdinger player. And, I have another idea for the great minds at Riot Games. This time, I wanna suggest an idea for summoner icons. Ok, so I was looking at the following update info:

And, I noticed that they have symbols allocated to each role (Marksman, Mage, Support, etc). Now, I don't know about the rest of you lot but, I kind of identify with my dedicated role of support for my team, ChaosRing (you haven't heard of us. Yet). So, wouldn't it be kinda cool if we could project some Pride in our respective roles? And, I mean, they already have the icons drawn. Why not just add a little color and add them to the icon list? Just imagine an entire premade 5 proudly displaying their roles to the enemy team like saying, "Yeah, this is where I'm going. What are you gonna do about it? I'm the best top NA!" As always, I'm open to your ideas and opinions.

I am Valon Durey. This is my idea. "Fascinating, isn't it?" Heimerdinger

I think that's a really cool idea! I'll send it over to the summoner icons team and see what they think.

I'd take this one step further. If you play as a champion 500 times, you should unlock their picture as a choice for your avatar. Rito plz, I want my Gangplank summoner icon already.

Sounds pretty cool. It would be good to see other icons that are more on the periphery as well (i.e. stuff in lore, unique icons, etc.), not necessarily just for specific roles.

Icons serve a lot of purposes for a lot of people, you know?

The Support symbol is actually pretty cool looking. I'd love to have that as a summoner icon.

It seems your idea may have worked. I just received what looked like a gift and it said "show off you pride as a mage with this icon" or something like that, but I can't seem to find the icon anywhere.
