Random Skin Option in Champ Select

Ohai! I don't know if this idea has ever been pitched before, but I couldn't find anything on it so I'll give it a go.

Ever since mystery gifting became a thing in League, I own many skins I never thought I'd like, but I do! I have 3-4 skins on some champs, sometimes just 2 or so as well and I don't know about you, but I have a small anxiety issue with borderline "cheating" on my other skins. It's silly, I know. Most of these skins were gifted from friends, so they do have some sentiment besides just being fancy, others were just released after I already a skin and I had to have it anyways (Looking at you Nami). So, I had an idea to alleviate some of this.

I propose that after you select your champion and the skin tabs appear, if you have multiple skins there will be an extra tab you can select that will randomly choose a skin for you. I feel this would take away some of the pain of being gifted 3 skins for a champ you already have a skin for. I think it's a simple introduction that could go a long way, particularly with players who have a few champions that they splurge on skins a little. It's like my friend, he has every Twisted Fate skin and he loves them all, he says he would appreciate the option as well.

I don't think its a good idea, since Only people with more then 2 skins will use it,(I plan to get all of the Koggys Skins, so not being Biased,) . and if u have a lot of skins, just choose one over your average, you don't need the one you use picked at random.

But if people like it, I really cant do too much about it.

I have all 7 for shaco, however the last one i got was by far my favorite. NUTKRACKOShaco.. and if there was a way to match other champions with similar themed skins. Like the pirates or the christmas, of course harrowing and so on. For instance thr raindeer kogmaw, nutckracko, katerina and so on but it would also look classy if the characters of a match could dress accordingly.

This is even good for business, it incentivates players buying several skins for a single champ, it's such a big win for riot

Yeah that would be a nice feature, especially for those of us that have many skins on the same champion.

I would absolutely love to have a random skin button. Now if only they could release more Fiora skins...

I like this idea. Like you, never expected to own a bunch of skins O_O but alas I do and sometimes I wouldnt mind a random button option for skin select.

this so much. Whenever I play Janna, Sona, Soraka, or Orianna I almost always ask if my adc is wearing a skin (so I can match them) or ifanybody has a preference over which skin I use. As of right now I own every skin for 5 champions that have multiple skins (Nami being the fifth) and I never know which skin to use. Even champions I don't own every skin for like Miss Fortune or Ashe, I own at least 3 for.

Good idea, should be simple to implement (for a reasonable code base, probably not for LoL), so Riot will likely ignore/reject this. :(

Riot would never do this. Don't get your hopes up.
