Give players the option to change profile background?

I thought it was one of the cooler updates with the new client was the profile background that changes depending on your most used champ. However I feel it leaves a little to be desired. I mean, you are personally in charge of almost every aspect of how you want to run your account, i.e. Icon, rune pages, masteries, what champ to play, what skin to use, what ward skin to use.

So with all this customization, why did Riot choose to only allow your most played champ to be displayed on your profile page?I don't think that it would be a hard change to allow players to choose which champ they want to be displayed and even allowing different skins for champs as well.

What does everyone else think about this?

One of the things about Ultimate skins is that when you equip their icons, you get to make your profile show that Ultimate skin.

That coolness would be taken away if we had as much control over our profiles as you are suggesting.

I've always wanted this, and asked for it before too (no answer from any rioter tho item 3070), I'd kill for my banner/background to be Cosmic Reaver Kass to match my current icon (or whatever would match the icon I'd be currently using).

I've always wanted this too! I would love to be able to choose from any of the skins that I own. I would like to be able to use my Elementalist Lux background without having the icon equipped.

if it would just become consistent already it would be fine. one time it's my highest mastery, other times it's my most played in the past 20 games.

Actually, I have a question if anyone has an answer. Why is that lux's ultimate skin is always the light splash art when equipping any of her icons when DJ Sona's changes depending on the icon you have?

I don't care too much but I think that sounds better than what it is currently
