Riot keep stealing my ideas- and not giving me any credit..

Rammus Soup··1 votes·2,855 views

Before Tahm Kench, I proposed a champion that other champions could enter for protection. The difference- my champion was an empty suit of armor. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/IacfojEn-new-champion-kolrath-harvester-of-essence

Before they made alternative Sightstone builds- I proposed the same idea. Again, my idea was downvoted in forums. Again, no word from Riot- yet they went ahead and did it anyways. The difference- my focus was around Relic Shield, but I included Sightstone. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/fancreations/0PQvgQKT-modifications-to-relic-shield

Before they updated Poppy, I proposed a Poppy rework. Especially considering her appearance. Again, no Riot comments- and unpopular in the forums. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/GuEYPT6T-poppys-neglected-face

Before Skarner's and Gangplank's reworks- I proposed some of the same mechanics in a new champion. No word from Riot, downvoted in forums. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/1ooPETA6-skurr-captain-of-the-ruckus-new-and-improved

Wtf Riot! I have the boards and their dates- proving I had the idea before you. Why don't you ever give me a thumbs up?

You're not the first to propose a Poppy rework. Aside from hunger, TK is nothing like your concept. People have been posting Sightstone alterations way before you have. Considering League literally has a map based around capturing points, I'm quite sure they had that idea before you. A deleted thread so I can't say much about that one.

Did they pay you? did you sign a important piece of paper that said you shall get paid and get praised with candy and money for this. If not i am sorry bro, if life worked like that man there would be a lot of rich kids.

I'm not asking for reward. I'm asking for feedback. But, apparently society has become too hostile for such a concept to be its own reward.

Verxint2 votes

Odds are those ideas were already in the works are riot when you made those posts. the only time I've seen riot directly take a mechanic from a forum post was the sion rework

Rammus Soup1 votes

I guess Volibear was a forum-concept. From what I've heard.

Verxint4 votes

The concept for volibear was "Armored bear that does bear things", it wasn't like someone suggested his kit and riot used it.

Riot takes ideas from the forums all the time, but rarely direct mechanics.

A "Forum concept" created by Volibar... a member of Riot.

Tahm Kench has been in the works for most likely years. Poppy has been under the rework list...for years Sightstone builds have been around for ages Both the Skarner and Gangplank reworks have been in internal testing way before you posted the idea on the forums. Also most of your ideas are not even similar to the actual champions. They have peoples whose sole job is to come up with new ideas.

Rammus Soup1 votes

Tahm Kench is a crappy design for a champion. If Riot pays people to make that shit- they should terminate the entire branch and stick to fishing from forums. Especially if it took them years to conceive..

MisterHealYoGirl1 votes

Wasn't the whole point of this post to try and take credit for those 'crappy' designs?

Rammus Soup1 votes

No. It's about discussion. I post to the forums so that Riot would take from them. But, if they take from them- without saying so. It's theft. I'm the one imagining these ideas, it takes time, and criticism. If Riot isn't going to publicly praise certain ideas, they shouldn't use them.

Rammus Soup1 votes

I mean- even a, "Hey, that part about... we totally like that. We're even considering something like that now." But no. Not even that.

MisterHealYoGirl1 votes

Frankly, there's no evidence that anyone from Riot even LOOKED at your designs. Ever. None of the examples that you showed are particularly close, in any way. Kolrath's ult is more like Warwick's ultimate or Braum's shield than Tahm Kench's W, to be honest, and TK is nothing like him conceptually. In the relic shield post, you proposed a jungle style buildpath for one of the three support items (why not all of them?) and one of the twelve final options included a ward passive. I guess you deserve credit for everything ever done to sightstone, then. Your Poppy post just said that Poppy needed a rework and a visual update- both of which were announced almost a year before that post was made. Skurr's original page has been deleted, but based on the evidence I'd say you've got nothing.

So your idea is crap then? As well, you should do your research on how they come up with champions. And yes people get payed to do all the coding for champions and make sure it does not break the game. Sorry you cannot do that yourself

dude tham is an amazing champion, with one of the best voice overs. pls if u think ur so good get out of ur moms basement and apply at riot so u can creat ur own champs with no theft and u get paid. GL :D

So what your saying is everyone from the start of league till now that had any suggestion or comment or picture or video that said hey try this should say HEY I OWN THAT. GTFO OF HERE. sorry for the bluntness but COME ON WTF.

Rammus Soup1 votes

What I'm saying is- Riot pays people to come up with ideas that they just end up taking from forums. They get away with it- because Riot doesn't comment in the Concepts page. Only very rarely. Yet- the ideas from these pages mysteriously work their way in to the game...

hey, you may or may not, depending on your educational background be familiar with the term"Great minds think alike" if you know what that means, then you weren't the only one to come up with these "stolen ideas" if you don't know what the phrase means, don't make false claims of theft

Omg, well done. I just love the way you put it, could shut anyone up. +1

Akenero2 votes

I doubt that a riot employee looked at your article and ripped an idea without any prior comments Also if an inginite number of monkeys and an infinite number of keyboards were left alone, your idea would be put down as well. Stop acting so fucking entitled,.

rtbf2624901 votes

Might sound better if you left STEAL out of the comment strong word bro.

rtbf2624901 votes

"Hey, that part about... we totally like that. We're even considering something like that now." But no. Not even that.

Bro if that was your heading of this i am telling you it would have come across better. You might have still gotten gruff but throwing stolen in that was wrong.

Rammus Soup1 votes

It's theft in my eyes. This is a discussion board. When I post, I click "Post Discussion". I know Riot pools from Concepts, so they need to make a better effort in making discussion.

Venjamin3 votes

You "know" Riot pulls from concepts, or you believe that due to a slight similarity to one ability sort of?

Read the EULA and ToU. It can't be theft because you posted it here, simple as that.

TurquoiseYoshi1 votes

So you came up with:

A badly designed champion (infinitely stacking armor scaling with time in combat, an easy refund skillshot, dodging every 5th attack/Annie's E, and a dash) with one okay-ish idea that looks kinda like a new ability but not exactly.

Something that has been suggested many times and has probably been thought about by Riot for a while. Sightstone ideas are nothing new.

Making Poppy pretty (no duh).

And a deleted thread.

Rammus Soup1 votes

Riot has confirmed they check every post. I just think they should be more active in discussing certain things. Even if it is to say they've been considering similar ideas for some time. Riot is suspiciously absent in the Concepts boards.

TurquoiseYoshi3 votes

Probably because they don't want to tell players what's coming up. They do respond to some cool skin designs, and Bio even made templates for many of the champions, but talking about champions could lead to leaks.

Also, not to sound rude, but most of the champion concepts on there are absolute garbage.

Riot is suspiciously absent in the Concepts boards.

There was a Rioter that mentioned no one from the design teams are allowed to look at the Concepts posted here, for full deniability of claims like yours. Those Rioters that do come are from other areas, like Q&A or Bio, who if I recall right is actually a contractor.

I have an idea also.

Great now i am going to have nightmares about monkeys and keyboards thanks Akenero.

Demented Gag1 votes

People were proposing Poppy's rework years ago. And how riot stole your idea of "Poppy with bigger ears", if there was nothing to begin with? I for one was certain, that when riot reworks Poppy, they will put her in line with Tristana and Lulu in terms of appearance.

rtbf2624901 votes

All i know is my idea here ----> http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/miscellaneous/APA9LrbW-new-champion-idea-the-stranger Rito better not take oh man.

Dis The Chris1 votes

Here's a thought because everything you have said here as generally bias and negative - "Steal and Taken" - stuff like that crap are frowned upon. IF there is anything, ideas in the Concept are more about inspiring Riot to "Create". Tahm Kench was born from a single ability concept - "Devour". Volibear was maybe in regards to a large number of people liking an Armored Bear in the League with Volibear (Rioter) in approval and Zilean (Rioter) in distaste (thus the passive of Zilean and Volibear). The topic on the "Armored Bear" was quite hilarious, people siding with Volibear and others siding on Zilean but in the end, the Armored Bear got into the League.

Skins such as Battle Regalia and Swashbuckler Katarina were direct inspirations from White Knight Poppy Skins and that Pirate Katarina Skin. You can look them up.

So - if ever you say something shitty about Riot on how they're stealing ideas and concepts from people, please think - what are the chances of you thinking of the same idea as someone else? They might have thought of it WAAAY before you did or even possible that the gap were mere seconds away.

Drackolus1 votes

You DO realize that a champion takes about a year to develop? Meaning Tahm Kench probably had his eating mechanic before you ever posted that. Everything else was proposed waaaaay before you did.

The most pathetic that you said is about Poppy, all older champions from Lulu and before are getting visual updates so it was confirmed way before you even started playing league
