Champion Themes

I've been wondering this for a while, especially with the release of Pyke, and his amazing theme, but why hasn't anything more been done with champion themes? It feels like such a waste to have them on a login screen and then just forget about it. Themes that fit so well with their characters, such as Pyke'sPyke, Jhin'sJhin, Lucian'sLucian even Vi'sVi are too good to just disregard. So to resolve this issue I've come up with several ideas that I hope you'll consider:

  1. Champion Select Why not add the theme, or at least a shorter, remix of it to champion select? For when one locks in a champion, the theme would start to play.

  2. Game Start Just like how we have the small music additions when events go on (like the K/DA and Halloween, even the Worlds events) why not have the champion we're playing's theme show up too? I know this kind of happens when one has the SKT T1 Jhin skin on (maybe even vanilla Jhin, but I've never tried) and I think that that would give even just a little more immersion to the character when playing.

These, of course, are not the only possible implementations of the themes, but they're the ones I could think of off the top of my head. I'm more than happy to hear further ideas and I hope this gets seen and considered. (seriously considered, not just the "oh its definitely we'll definitely think about it" and have it subsequently forgotten considered)". Bump if y'all agree, I gotta see if I'm not the only one thinking this...

EDIT: I've linked some themes to have a look at: Vi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzQmmviJW5A&index=15&list=PLccypFiYJh4fYQSo4Auve42ao5FK4_4lG Jhin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSQZqVsaKWY Lucian: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbMCmdSEoaA Pyke: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHRvLl8hpqc Taliyah: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7MwJ5WGA_A (god this one could even be a theme for Summoners rift if they extended it) Kindred: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB_DbCpFvHA Gnar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awa7fpGmtf0 Sion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ9nyZTvRwY

If you mean the login themes, some of them do play for a few seconds at the game start. I often hear Zoe's when I play her in ARAM(probably plays on SR too but I don't play her enough there to know).

I like this idea until I realize I would never play Thresh again if they do this.
