[Suggestion]Borrow a Champion

I was thinking that it would be really cool if players were able to borrow champions from a friend/other player/PVP.net for a single game. The borrow mechanic could be on a 24 hour timer or a recharge bar like the re-roll mechanic for ARAM. It would be free to borrow from friends, but cost a small IP fee (maybe 100-300) to borrow from Riot directly, again with a cooldown.

I think this would benefit both Riot and players. Many times, people want to try a champion before they buy them. This way, a player may not have to wait for a free week to play a certain champion, and it might also encourage people to spend RP if they like it, since they can only do it so often.

Any thoughts?

Sounds interesting...although I think it should only be an IP cost if it's from friends. Make it a small fraction of the champion's cost in RP if it's done through Riot.

Thing is, it has to lock the champion from the borrowed person.

Example; you want to play Sona, but you don't have sona. I have Sona, and you send a request for me to allow you to use Sona. You pay the IP (either given directly to the player or used as a service cost), and you get to play Sona (maybe a 24 hour period) For that time period, I can't play Sona.

I think that's how it would work.
