Riot: Option to select which ward skin to use during champion select.

Cheostian·2/19/2015, 12:24:09 AM·22 votes·1,158 views

I'd like to announce a new feature to the game client (I would love to see Riot include)

Have you ever been in champion select and locked in Heartseeker Vayne, then been disappointed you were unable to switch your ward skin over to the Heartseeker Ward Skin that you already own?

Well (hopefully) soon you'll have the option to change your ward skin at the same time you pick your champion skin for that game during the champion select. Currently, you'll only be able to select from ward skins you already own, but perhaps in the future you'll also be able to purchase new ward skins to go along with your champion into summoners rift.

Ward in style this season!

please note, the above is a post I would love to see Riot officially release. If you also like this idea, please up vote so it gets noticed

I got the Shurima ward, when Azir first came our, and I really like that one, but lately I have been using the new heart seeker ward, as i got the Varus and Annie skins. Then I when back and played as Hyena Warwick, and the Heart seeker ward, made me loose all seriousness and I just couldn't stop laughing.... "like a hyena xD"

This isn't really new since people have repeatedly suggested it for quite some time now. Even so far as including concept art of the champion selection window with a ward skin tab. I'm not sure why this isn't a thing yet.. if they've got time to make it so you can use ward skins on trinkets and add in extra effects for clarity.. They've got time to alter player info cards in your friend list.. C'mon, Rito, some of us like to have our ward skins match our champions.

I think the main point of it is that it draws us in more thematically to the character if we can drop a ward related to the champ we are playing in some fashion. I always get this jarring feeling when I selected a ward that feels champ specific but I am playing a different champ with it. To much of a perfectionist I guess.

But if you don't select it through the store then Rito can't intimidate you into spending more RP...
