@Riot You always talk about lack of talent, why not have us help?

Hey there Riot,

We, as a community, understand that you, Riot, are more focused on delivering quality champion reworks as opposed to a large quantity of poorly applied band-aids. One of the things that caught my eye recently was the Diana Rework discussion posted by IronStylus. I thought, wouldn't it be cool if Riot let US remake all our favourite champions? Now I understand how bad this would turn out in practice if you gave the community full control over everything (S3 Rengar all over again), so why not meet us half-way?

What I propose is let us, the community, establish in a group discussion what the main issues with X champion is, what should and shouldn't be changed (iconic features), and a bunch of ideas for how to rework the champion. After the community takes a whack at it, you as Rioters could then take our info back to the drawing board and use the top voted ideas as a guideline. I'm not saying it has to be our design that gets published, but as we can see from the Skarner and Sona reworks, it takes a lot of time and effort for you to find what the champion mains would like, what the general populace won't mind playing against, and what would be a healthy inclusion to the rift. Maybe we can test run this with Taric? He has the same core issues as Sona, in having a lot of invisible power, while also sees a LOT less play.

TL;DR Let us toss ideas around instead, we can do that much faster, and it'll likely lead to reworks being produced faster, and more to the liking of the summoners themselves.
