There's a good reason why they don't put the icon for the skin you're using, though. It's a clarity thing actually. Doing so would require that every player be able to recognize, sometimes at a glance, exactly what skin for what champ is being shown in the icon, and it quadruples the amount of icons players had to be able to distuinguish at a glance.
