Summoner Spell selection

I play a variety of MOBAS including Lol, Smite, Heroes of the Storm, and Dota 2. In smite, instead of summoner spells you have these things callled relics, which you unlock the first one at level 1, and the next one at level 12. You choose your relic ( a.k.a summoner spell ) in the fountain, and can therefore pick your spells situationally, for example in lol if you are fighting pantheon or zed you can take exhaust, if you are against mundo you take ignite etc.

I think it would be cool if riot made choosing both your summoner spells when you spawn into the game a great idea. Tell me what you guys think

It might help for non-draft games, but those already have any number of potential issues with bad champion picks or bad runes for what you end up facing.

In all draft games you DO get to see the enemy team before you start, and can plan accordingly.

I'm not sure the extra development of interfaces and the required programming to get the effect working is worth the limited gain this would bring to normal games, especially since in League the spells you take are largely less situational -- Exhaust/Ignite/Barrier/Cleanse are really the only choices I see people often struggling to decide on.
