SUGGESTION: Allow teammates to see your runes in champ select

I'm sure we have all ran into this problem before, picking a champion that was different from your last game and forgetting to change your runes. Not to say that this completely effects your playing, but it could have a small change that you aren't used to and then you have to try and adapt to it in the course of a 30-40 minute game.

A suggestion for the team at Riot, I think it would be a good idea to see the runes, or at least the "Domination" Primary "Sorcery" Secondary (like you see in the loading screen and in game when you hold tab) runes, in champ select, kinda like how we can see the summoner spells.

I think this would be helpful overall and I think some players will have a better experience with the game, especially when I take kleptomancy or unsealed spellbook accidentally instead of conqueror on Fiora, Yasuo, etc. (I can make it work, but conq is just so much better on her)

And what hurt could it do to at least try it?

Thanks for reading

Yea, that seems pretty useful! Definitely helps with organizing your team's strategy. I'm down for it.

I can't tell you how many times I have brought Aftershock on Lux from going to a Tank Support to a Mage Support. Also Lethal Tempo Vel'Koz is a pretty iconic one for me that I still managed to win with. This would be really helpful but I can see how it could also have some negatives. Summoner 1 sees Summoner 2 doing a wacky rune build that Summoner 1 doesn't like, Summoner 1 dodges. With rune pages being a thing people test out a lot to see what is good and what is not, a lot of people in Ranked or Normals might not want to play with a Malphite with Arcane Comment (hint: I'm the Malphite), before giving it a chance.
