After I saw various posts about what part of the Champion Select could be improved here and there I thought I might just sum them up in one post and visualize them. And that's exactly what I did here:
(I will be going into more detail below)
Pre-Select a Champion
You can pre-select a champion before going in queue. The selected champion will be displayed as your declared champion as soon as you're in Champion Select.
Player Anonymization and Selected Roles
All players are completely anonymized in Champion Select, you only see your own name. Also, the selected roles of your allies are displayed for easier swapping.
Autoswitch Smite
Smite gets switched for a fitting summoner spell if you're in another position than Jungle. TP for Top, Ignite for Mid, Heal for ADC, and Exhaust for Support. (please ignore that I'm actually assigned Jungle xD)
Buy Champions in Champion Select
Champions you do not own are displayed grayed out in Chmapion Select. If you click on them you can buy them, given you got enough BE.
Switch-Pick-Order Phase
Rather than having a champion-switch phase after selecting your champion, you have a switch-pick-order phase before banning. This solves all champion pool issues and you won't have to play Lulu jungle because your support didn't pick your desired jungler.
Kick Vote (read my comment regarding the implementation please)
You can kick players if they hold the lobby hostage. This is only possible if all 4 other players vote yes, the kicked player may receive a short penalty. After a player got kicked you will either instantly find yourself in another champion select if a fitting player got found fast enough, or you'll land in queue again.
Random Skin Button and Champion Theme
As soon as you select your champion, their champion theme will begin to play. (or skin theme if there is one, this can be disabled in the settings) If the champion has no theme, the normal queue music will play, but in sad because your selected champion is not sexy enough to deserve a theme. Also, you got a Random Skin button if you got at least two skins for the selected champion (The base skin may count towards that)
Mute in Post-Game Lobby
Players, you muted in Champion Select or in-game are still muted in the post-game lobby, you should also be able to unmute them in the post-game lobby.
Item Damage Display in Post-Game Lobby
The damage you dealt or amplified with items gets displayed under Runes & Items in the advanced tab.
And... that's everything I would improve. I would be happy if some of them got implemented in the launcher, as they would make things much easier, but I'm not really optimistic about that.
If you got any questions, let me know I'll try to answer them as soon as I can. Feedback and more improvements are also more than welcome ^^
Also, I want to thank the guy that implemented "content-aware fill" in Photoshop, you're a legend and deserve a pay raise.
Stay safe and have a great day :)
