Why Rito should accept community-made champs in their entirity

Not ALL of them, but the ones that are really good, original characters...
For instance, the soon to be released champ Kindred, who if you take the time to look, is incredibly influenced by a community champ "DhaMa." DhaMa didn't have great lore, but it was still original and Riot took that idea and changed it to the point that you wouldn't really recognize it unless show a side-by-side picture, though still keeping the yin-yang concept identical. And does the guy who came up with the idea getting any (Or not much) credit?
No (I thinks)! Maybe, Riot could create a board just for those people out their who like making new champions, like a "You choose the next champion" Kind of thing, or even just letting the people who make the amazing concepts they do maybe get in on the creation of new things based of their ideas, through anything really, though unlikely.

Posting a concept here might help, just to show how awesome community creations can be, without any editing from anybody.

Riot we're work on the idea of Kindred BEFORE DhaMa was being made. If anything, Kindred has more in common (in fact there's some controversy about it), with a series of artworks completely unrelated to League in anyway ( http://imgur.com/gallery/8hONl ). League SHOULDN'T and WON'T take characters in their entirety because that creates a whole bunch of legal issues. Let's say hypothetically now Riot makes DhaMa exactly how the user made them and gives them credit. That user can then say they don't want there work used in League, or if they do use it they want a cut of sales made. By saying something is someone else's idea is a big thing.

Riot was working on Kindred before DhaMa was made.

If anything, you should look at Braum and Angus

That's a community inspired champ.
