I think having champion portraits (loosely based on Riot's portraits, but altered enough to be free of legal concerns) would help for clarity for new players.
It would also be useful if, in the future, you wanted to implement them into a more visual post-match summary (showing a pick/ban phase with icons maybe) and even on the 2D replay.
@Henri or Oww or any creators: I'd be willing to give a shot at making 5 or so mockup portraits to see if you'd be interested in the full set of 40, please let me know!

@cartala Hei! Just got time to read your topic. This is an awesome suggestion which we have been also thinking however we just havent had the resources to-do it. If you can help us make it and they turn out to be good, of course we can implement them. Perhaps you can send me an email info@lolmanager.gg and we can discuss it...
