Display of champion models and skins

Hello Riot,

I'm a design and animation student and therefore I look more on the visual side of LoL than on the gameplay. And I have noticed especially after seeing many 'making of'-, development- and time-lapse videos on YouTube, that so incredibly much work and creative thoughts are going into these champions and 3D models that it is really a shame how they are displayed in the final game. The only thing you can really see well when looking at champions or skins in the shop is their splash art. Which is great, I love these. But I think you should also be able to see a high-poly, good quality full-scale 3D model of the champion or skin. Because I think you always create these detailed models and in the end, you just see them really small on the screen in games and also downgraded quality-wise to allow more fluent gameplay. But I think in the client, e.g. in the shop or the champion selection, you could also present what wonderful detailed models your 3D artists created. I think there is not really enough credit for them. Even in mobile games like Arena of Valor you can see the 3D models in good quality when looking at champions or skins. Why not implement that in LoL? Maybe there is a specific reason I just don't know about. But otherwise I think it would add so much more creative value to the game. I hope some Riot employee will read this.

Thank you!

Honestly, i would love to be able to see all of the 3D models of skins and champions

As a cosplayer, it's sometimes hard to get all of the details because there isn't any 3D models available
