How come we can't see a model preview of a skin before we buy it in the client?

The splash art appears to be the only thing available to us and it tells us very little. Seems extremely arbitrary to have to make us do research when an example of the skin model itself could be made available to us in the client.

Thank you! I'm so glad it's not just me that wants this to be a thing! It doesn't even have to be a loaded in model, it can just be 4 different pictures of the model ingame to show off how it looks

Well we likely can't see them in the client,because that would require the client to load all the different models. But I do agree tha tthere should be an option where you essentially go into a small custom match with the chosen skin.

Look at 90% of in game models for old champion skins and you'll know why.

I think the previous reason was that the old client couldn't handle so much information and processing for every skin. I dunno if that's still true.
