Two things I think would greatly improve pre-game League

We've all been here. "Crap, where's my skin?!" "Our jungler forgot smite!" Why don't we fix that? Riot, it would make a crap ton of us happy if you made it possible to switch skins, or change our summoner spells while the game is loading, or maybe even in the first 5 minutes of the game. I get so frustrated when I get onto the loading screen and realize the skin I paid money for isn't on; whether I forgot to put it or the game glitched and didn't give it to me. Or learning that I have exhaust instead of smite, or for some reason I don't have my flash or heal. Let's try to add this into a new patch soon. I'm sure it would make the whole world a better place.

I'm guessing they only load in the models and skins being used, so it would be a huge pain to change that on the off chance someone selected the wrong skin.

Being able to swap summoners right at the start might be fine. Not sure if there might be abuse cases around switching junglers or something like that.

changing summoners is a flat out no, to much faking out your opponent with this stuff.

as far as skins, when you pick a skin it sends data to servers on which one you took, then when it loads each player receives that data on the choice, and then your computer pulls that skin file up and loads it. This is what the loading screen is for, if people wanted to switch in-game, it would mean that everyone would have to reload with the new choice. This would be incredibly inefficient so ya...
