There should be a fan funded prize pool for large tournaments like other moba games.

I think that there should be a fan funded prize pool on top of the normal 1 million at worlds. I think all tournaments should have the option to have fans donate to increase the prize pool. It would probably bring out even more player talent for League! Smite has a tiny fraction of the fanbase that League has, yet the players that won world made more money than those in League that won worlds because Smite had a fan funded prize pool!

It's not a bad idea, CSGO Uses the same thing.

I feel like this would lead to "OMG rito wants us to pay their prizes, gg rito so greedy" Though I do agree that the concept is neat.

Yes, but the donation needs to be hidden behind something somewhat exclusive.

Maybe have something like a 2015 World Championship ward skin or something, where 100% of the proceeds get added to the prize pool. Or maybe for a one week period having the mystery skins donate half the amount to the pool. Either way, I would gladly pay for something if I knew the funds were being used like that.
