Why doesn't League utilize the communities ideas more?

Now I'm wondering....there are so many hard worked on concepts for skins...and they are all so good....why not use them?

Let's not talk about surprise party fiddle, or bunny riven, pool party ziggs, the zombie azir thing. Were on the boards long before riot announced them/created them

Im sure it wouldnt be to out of there way to ask permission to use the concept

You do realize that one of the pictures you used was a community idea that Riot made into a skin, right? Like "Unicorn Hecarim" doesn't look at all like Arcade Hecarim to you?

If you make the community more pleased you get more money, it's the most obvious business logic.

Exactly!! They should have something like Steam where they have a workshop for skins and if it reaches a certain amount of likes etc: the skin would at least get the chance to be in the game

I would love the cupcake Ziggs, That skins should be called Something like "Sugar Rush Ziggs" I would love that skin, Throwing a huge cupcake as ult lol.

Probably because most community suggestions are weaboo trash. Sure there are a few gems here and there, but dumpster diving is pretty nasty so nobody wants to do it.

What do you mean by Weaboo trash? xD Not even most of the community skins are weaboo trash...look at that Fizz and Trynd skin

Maximum MordeDec 21, 20151 votes

The Tryndamere one IS weeb trash. Fizz one is ok. Most of the ones you linked in your post are ok. I'd even probably buy the Annie one. But, concepts and creations forum is usually overrun with weeb shit

I'm pretty sure it's more then just asking permission; they'll be making money off of your intellectual property. There's legal and financial ramifications.

Riot only has so much time. They do the concepts that they think show the most promise. It isn't just boards that they are selling these to, you have to remember. Things that have international appeal are much better, so it isn't just about the high upvotes on our NA threads.
