Item Queue for Recalls

I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on an idea I had the other day. I was thinking that maybe riot could incorporate a new part of the shop for in game in which you can queue item purchases for your next back or spawn. For example you die and you don't have enough gold for a frostfang as supp on your first back but you'll have the gold by the time you spawn, you would be able to queue it so that the moment you had the gold and were at base you would receive the item automatically? It would be really good for top lane making your backs and tp to lane almost instantaneous. Could also be dirty for ekko with his ult after back? Any thoughts?

This is already a thing in Dota. It's called the Stash. You can open the shop and purchase an item if you have the gold for it, and when you go back you can pick it up. There's also a 150 gold item called a courier. The courier can be consumed, which will place a controllable animal. This animal can bring one person at a time their stash items to wherever you are on the map, so you don't have to go all the way back. It can be upgraded so it can pass over terrain.

There's also a hero in Dota called Weaver who has basically Ekko's ultimate, and it's abused, although the utility it provides Indy really worth giving up for quick purchases.

This is a good idea. But I've already pre-emptively started hating Ekko more for this idea existing. If it's added, he'll benefit more than anybody else.
