Random Skin selection

(To begin: Okay, so its not exactly a skin or champion concept as in like a new skin for them or something but more of an option to put into place for a multitude of reasons. If whoever looks this over believes this should be posted in another section or put somewhere else, by all means do so or tell me up-front if I should post it somewhere else. Anything I can to get Riot to at least consider this idea.)

So if your like me, which I know I am, you've developed a love for a champ or two. (Personally, one of my top favs is an old school one. Annie ) and you've purchased a few skins for them. Of course you may have found that the new skin you just bought out-shines all the rest, or maybe you bought the skin to add a bit more life to a champ that you love, but have found it growing a bit stale. So, now that you have three or so skins of your fav, how do you decide which skin gets love when? Are you like me where you forget to switch to a skin that you've gotten a long time ago, and just find yourself playing through games with the same appearance over and over again? Heck, even with one skin, wouldn't you like to occasionally jump back to there original skin?

Thats what I suggest today, ladies and gentlemen. I suggest, similar to the champions, a button that you can select that will give you a random skin from your collection similar to the champions random champ button. So, for example Annie , say I have Regular Annie (Like we all have), Gothic Annie, Frostfire Annie, and Panda Annie. Putting my skin to the random skin selection will leave it there as though that was the skin I selected (So that in the future if I just start the game with Annie, I'll get another random skin. Plus, a little mystery never hurt anyone) Upon entering the connection screen (and/or the game itself based on how far Riot would want to push the mystery) I would find out if I was playing as Regular Annie, or perhaps Frostfire Annie. As such each game I would be able to play as a different Annie skin. It would be completely optional, and giving Sona as an example, if my friends decided to go a full pentakill team, I could do Pentakill Sona rather then randomly switch through the ones I have, and then switch right back if I so desired to switch between Pentakill, DJ, and just regular.

I believe this option would be a fairly simple one to put in and could with its implication drive up the sales of skins, even ones that weren't as popular as other ones. At least between you and me I'd normally never buy Prom Queen Annie, as I can see Reversal Annie or Sweetheart Annie as better in many ways (my personal opinion) however with this, I could see myself even buying Prom Queen Annie as its cheap and it would add onto this roulette wheel of champion skins. Even if this doesn't apply to many of you who only buy one skin for each of your champions (Which even then, you still have your original), you still could receive mystery skins of champs you've already gotten a skin for.

In closing, for something so simple it could in theory (I could be wrong about all this) do much, from giving the community a bit more life when it comes to what skins they see on old and new champions, to giving a bit more revenue towards Riot for there beautiful work that they've done for the skins. It could make a huge difference, even if it doesn't seem so right now. It might not seem like it, but a simple random skin selection could do a lot more then you think, all thanks to people wanting a little mystery to the champions they know and love. I hope my peers support this idea, and I hope Riot read this and at least considers adding this is. Thank you for your time.
