Changing avatars with skins

First, what is an avatar? An avatar is the image of our champions face at the bottom left hand screen when we play

What is a skin? A skin is something we purchase with real money to make the game have more personal appeal

Why does our avatar not display the image of the skin we purchased? I have no fucking idea but wish I did, the coding can't be THAT hard to change a still image with skins can it?

My suggestion? People like me who have spent well over 200 dollars on this game buy skins cause we WOULD RATHER see the skins we bought in game or simply DONT LIKE the originals at all. No offense but I don't find Elise's original face appealing at all and don't want to see it. Can we please get her copy/pasted gorgeous blood moon face to appear at the bottom of our screen when we play after we but it please along with all other skins?

I suggested this once, and even added in the clause that they could be toggled on and off (initially disabled) in case you'd have trouble recognizing all of the champs.

Needless to say, the idea was smashed into the ground.

I think he means changing only the ones YOU see. Not the portaits everyone seens.

And there's not even a riot post anywhere on the subject? It just doesn't make since that they don't have this

It's for clarity. It would be really frustrating to lose a game because you thought someone on your team was taking an objective on your minimap, and it's actually just another champion on the enemy team with a skin that make it look similar to you team's champion. I understand the desire for changing avatars, etc, but I totally get why it hasn't been done. It's not even that important, the actual character is what's changed.

I believe they already do this for Spirit Guide Udy (unless that was just edited into the stream I saw?). It's a good idea as long as only you can see it, but then the problem is that either its also changed on your minimap, or it isn't, which both pose issues.
