Why dosnt Riot add champions from comic books and games

I understand there would be licensing Issues but I think DC/Marvel/Manga champions would bring a lot more people into the game. I think if they had characters from other games or comics people would almost feel a connection with the character and it would be easier for casual players to get into the game. I personalty would love having Gats from Berserk in the game. I know it would cost money but I don't think Riot is hurting in that department. And with Infinite crisis completely failing because it wasn't league they would have those people as well. Anyways just a thought but Batman jungle would be dope.

its just not going to happen. Especially companies like DC and Marvel into one game. But to try and get Manga/Anime characters just wouldnt be possible. At least with the case of Anima/Manga i could see it happening but probably only on the Japanese servers, mainly because one company actually owns the rights (like Shounen Jump) Whereas here, all Anime/Manga are from different companies, or dont even have right owners in the US. As for comic book champions/skins, just not going to happen. Especially with Marvel being own by Disney now that if anything will never happen. As Disney is a company that heavily caters towards being Family Friendly, and we can all agree League is anything but! But like with the whole Anime/Manga, there are comic book heroes who are own by different companies/people. You'd have to make them all agree plus have some contract to establish this, those only last for a number of years. And you cant have champions/skins that are only available for a certain number of years (as riot doesnt even do Limited Edition content aside from Victorious skins) But with this contract you would also need to pay them royalties with their product. So if you think a new champion/skin will stay the same cost as they are now you are mistaken!

One-off guest characters, yeah sure. As long as it's not like a bunch of them are invading Runeterra.

I'm not sure if it worked or not but this game chaos heroes online has 6 characters from both guilty gear and blazblue
