Why are Swain and the Star Guardians

the only ones who get to have their music theme played at the beginning of the game?

these champs (and many more) have such an amazing soundtrack playing in their loading screens.

It's such a waste to have your music team produce a whole soundtrack for a single champ, only for it to be used in the first 2 weeks within the champ's release, outside of the game.

Why not do what you did with Swain and play it at the beginning of the match? It would make playing your champ a much more immersive experience and the hard work of your music team (which does an amazing job btw) would be much more appreciated.

Oh, and it would make some skins even better and worthier of our RP (Elementalist Lux, for example, has one of the best loading screens in the game imho).

I really can't see the downsides of this. It doesn't seem like it would be that hard to implement, either.

Thoughts? (and sry for my broken english, not my first language)

Edit: I didn't know that there were a few more champs/skins that also had this feature, so sorry for the misinformation. But I still stand for what I said, as there's lots of content being wasted ^^

PROJECT has the PROJECT : HUNTERS theme playing sometimes at the start of the game.
Gun Goddess has her theme always playing at the start of a game.
I think has some music going sometimes. Not sure.

I haven't checked with many champions, but it's true that it would be neat to hear your champion's login screen at the beginning of each game.

I wish there were more skins with music options attacked to them like sonas and the surrounding aesthetics of swains base skin. Thresh with some spooky ambiance, mist , and chains clanking would be so cool particularly for this coming month.

The only issue is that some champions don't have theme music if I'm right. For instance, Anivia and Chogath among other old champions never got the privilege to get a log-in screen or a theme song, and it would be weird to use Blackfrost Anivia or Battlecast Cho's log-in music for their base skin.

I do agree with you though, the theme music of every champ/skin should play for them at the beginning of the game, but some older champion mains would likely feel left out. They'd have to make new music for every older champion that didn't get a theme in order to make it feel fair. (not to say that's it's necessarily fair as it is, but I hope you get my point)
