Some people love them. Some people hate them.** I. don't. give. a damn.** youtube.com/watch?v=AxOVW2CNw7Q
If you choose to implement them, here's my suggestion for how to do it:

We will not be making a custom avatar system here for a few reasons
- As we expand "identity" within League of Legends the boards will likely see benefit from improved options for expression
- Within posts, we want the content stand out more than the person who posted the content
- We don't want to create another system that's redundant with summoner icons
Yea, this issue is sort of a non-issue for me. I think if they implemented avatars they could just take all the symbols they have as summoner icons and the icons they have for the chat here on the boards and make those the options. That stops the obviously going to happen abuse of custom avatars and expands the options to more things than summoner icons. I could even see them allowing you to have the loading screen splashes of the champions and the skins as avatar options.
A neat feature but definitely not needed.
I do seem to remember people better at forums with custom avatars; even if this avatar on hover was implemented I feel it would slightly help the boards at being a bit more social
Fek will happen
Lets stop for a while and think what custom avatars did to GD.
Then lets think about having them here again
