It's basically stolen straight from Dawngate, as well as the Runes Reforged system. Funny how Riot is now able to take good ideas from a game that's been dead and shut down for like 2 or 3 years now.

Note: these are ideas I've been thinking Riot should take from Dawngate since Dawngate was first released.

I had no idea. It may be that the publishers of Dawngate have now allowed Riot to use the idea since their game never took off. I wouldn't call it stealing, but I'm not certain that it isn't plagiarism either. They recognized a good idea among their competitors most likely. Maybe some Riot devs enjoyed Dawngate. With words like "stolen" you sound like you come from the perspective that Riot has an undignified interest in features you recognize from other games. It could be that the intention of Riot is actually dignified in regards to competitor ideas. While it may not be the case, can you imagine that Riot devs hoped for the best for Dawngate, and when it died they decided to pay homage to a good idea by adopting it?

If you thought Riot should use those ideas a long time ago, it sounds like you have your finger on the pulse of game development. Maybe you should go into game design.

Thanks for the reply!

Lol you clearly haven't seen me posting any of my champion concepts on here before. I do fully intend to go into game design and would like to try to become a champion designer for Riot.
