I think the Battle Academia borders should have different colors for each House/Club

I've been a fan of these limited loading screen borders for a long time. At one point, every single one was unique, but that hasn't been the case for awhile. Starting with High Noon/Immortal Journey 2018, they've usually used the same border for skins released at the same time. Snowdown 2018? All five are the same. Year of the Pig skins? Identical. Cats VS Dogs? No differences.

Look at the Lunar Revel 2018 skins: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/e/ee/Nasus_LunarGuardianLoading_Lunar_Revel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180816075144[/img] https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/b/ba/Lux_LunarEmpressLoading_Lunar_Revel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180816074849[/img] https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/8/86/Warwick_LunarGuardianLoading_Lunar_Revel.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20180816075223[/img]

They use the same border, but the change in color makes each one feel special.

Each of the four Battle Academia students has a different insignia on their uniform: Lux's is green, Ezreal's is red, Jayce's is blue, and Katarina's is purple. Each of them represents a different club in the Academia. And gee, where have I seen these four colors before? Only Graves' uniform has a BLACK insignia, but all the skins have a black insignia on the border.

I saw some mockups on a PBE thread that went completely unnoticed: http://i.imgur.com/oI0mRyJ.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/YK0JB5H.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/7ftcipV.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/HeXPVJf.png[/img]

I would love if these were implemented!

That isn't to say the same border never works, though. The Odyssey skins all have the same border, except Kayn, who has a purple version. It really makes them feel like they're all part of the same crew, and it highlight's Kayn's role as the "villain". In the same way, I think it makes sense for both Yuumi and Graves to keep the black insignia, as they are both faculty of the Academy.

Let me know what you think!

I'm not savvy enough to know how to decrease the size of the images, pardon me.
