In-Game Summoner Names and Match History

I noticed in the 4.18 Patch Notes that Champion names are removed from their original display atop the screen when a kill is made. While summoner names are still displayed via killing streaks, I could help but feel that this was unnecessary, and completely removed the aspect of cleverness in creating names. For example:

Shiro Kiran was killed by His Odorous Farts / This Man was killed by The Plague

has been reduced to

Ally Slain / Enemy Slain

I think taking them away removes a fraction of the creativity the user base has to offer. I understand that it had to do with cluttering up the UI, but I don't suppose there's any chance you could bring them back?

Edit: I was going to point out that others' summoner names were removed when viewing Match History, but upon further investigation, I was either (1) not friends with the person whose match history I was viewing or (2) not logged in to my account.

I'm not sure why the change either... I'm certain there was some level of reasoning behind it, but the fact that no one seems to know what that reason is... I dunno. I might have to delve a few patch notes back and figure this one out; now I'm curious.
