Champion Select Music Tweak

I thought of a really neat idea to add a sense of urgency to the Champion Select final 30 second countdown. After the last player locks in their champ and the final 30 second countdown begins, either speed up the soundtrack or remix it to remind players they have 30 seconds to make the finishing touches on Runes, Masteries and Summoners.

Not only will this help procrastinating or unassuming players remember to lock in Talents but it will add a sense of excitement and anticipation to the battle ahead. Hey, I figure if I have ran out of time making final selections of talents(due to derping on time left in select), than others also have. All in all, I believe this would be an improvement on the overall experience of Champion Select.

Agree, disagree? Thoughts?

No way man. This is an awesome idea! The thing that's hard though is getting that final 30 second chunk of music to sound awesome playing anywhere within a 6 and half minute piece of music. Sometimes champ select goes really fast, other times it goes the max amount of time and sometimes the music even runs out. To get it to sound good you'd have to plan for it from the beginning and have several outro music stingers depending on what section of the music you're in. Another problem with the current client is we don't have access to the kind of music tech that we have in game (see DJ Sona and Bard) to be able to perfectly transition between the two pieces of music. Hmmm, but maybe it's not music, maybe we could add some kind of battle horn warning sound or something along those lines.

But to answer your question - it's an amazing idea. I really wish we could do this.

The BattleHorn idea is great. Maybe just the ingame announcer saying something like, "30 seconds til the battle begins " or "make your final selections now" or " All champions have been selected".

Thanks for the responses. It always good to share ideas!
