(Game concept)

What i think is that Riot should make another game like an mmo. And the story of the game is basically the lores of the champions in league today like WoW instead with the same prospective we have in LoL. What I think when you start the game you choose what kinda of class or role you want, and choose a backstory like where are you from like Demacia, Noxus, Shurima, and more.

This might be a stupid idea because I'm just a kid who as an idea.

It is not a stupid idea, but the problem with the eternal League of Legends MMORPG idea is that it's not an especially financially viable idea currently.

MMORPGs are expensive to make. Really expensive to make. They are also difficult to keep up funding for without pumping more and more development time and money into expansions. Finally, their share of the global game market has, I believe, been shrinking. So it would be a TON of work and money to create a product that isn't particularly in demand in the current gaming market.

Could they do it? Certainly. It would probably even be good -- Riot has some excellent designers, who could probably find ways to solve some of the financial issues, player desire issues, and gameplay issues that an MMORPG launched in this day and age would have to deal with. But I'm not sure it's the best use of their development time/budget.

Your comment is my first good comment I ever had, since I don't like social media. anyways, Usually when I predict something 90% they are wrong. And i think my idea is not going to happen.

Well, happy to help! I've always found encouragement and actual analytics are better than disdain for an idea, even if they do take longer to write up!

Sadly, I do think the idea is unlikely to happen. I'm about 100% sure that Riot is looking into making other games (they keep talking about putting the "s" in "Riot Games" eventually), but I doubt we'll see an MMORPG when it happens. Right now my guess would be another slightly more casual or quicker-paced MMO of some variety -- something that is to League of Legends what Hearthstone or Heroes of the Storm or Overwatch is to the larger, more time-consuming World of Warcraft.

or they could just make a campaign into league?

Here's another idea. Allow players to make servers and roleplay with their league characters. Make towns like Demacia or Noxus, and the players are able to chose a champion they own, a skin, and wander around. You could do little quests, buy homes, and do little activities. Like Lux could wander around with her brother Garen, and Darius could pretend to be someone from Demacia, and tries to spy on the castle, and it goes on and on. Little rp servers, where people could do whatever the feel like. You could make it so people have to pay for a server, and there can only be one person as one champion at a time. Or the fabric of time would break as Officer Caitlyn meets Classic Caitlyn.
