LoL spinoff game concept. Runeterra Warriors
So, this is an idea I've had in mind for a few years now. Honestly thinking it could be awesome if any of the Devs were to take the idea for themselves as I've thought this out for a while and this is my first time talking about it on the boards and would be cool with just a mention or something.
So, I've been a Dynasty Warriors fan for a while, along with other Warrior games. Nintendo has several now, got two or three different Anime ones, then got others based on history and such. So I thought, why wouldn't League of Legends have a Warriors game of some sort?
Runeterra Warriors (WIP title)
The idea would be to tell some stories within the League of Legends world while fighting as different characters. Taking their Kits and just having a blast with them for a lot of fun, very off the wall ideas. Even if we only got like...1 area for each faction and maybe even a map of SR for lulz, it could make for an interesting way to tell stories.
Now other than just that concept, you also have the characters. One of the main reasons, if not the biggest reason, as to why people play Warriors games. Slaughtering hundreds upon thousands of baddies is a super neat idea. And it could be very fun to see with the 130+ champs in League, though that would be a tall order so honestly wouldn't blame them for leaving several out.
A bit of a taste of what I have in mind I'll explain here with a few characters, more so my mains translated over into a Warriors like style by chaining together attacks into combos.
Key: 1: Quick attack 2: Strong attack
Twitch: 1,2: Twitch fires his crossbow ahead of him then fires in a fan shape ahead of him. 1,1,2: Twitch fires ahead of himself, lobs a flask of poison into the air then hits it with a bolt to rain down onto baddies under it. 1,1,1,2 (Special): Twitch kicks up a manhole and scurries under the floor ahead of him a distance before popping back out and tossing vials in a star shape around him while laughing maniacally 1,1,1,1,2: Twitch turns invisible to enemies and runs ahead of himself until he collides with a target to which he shoves a vial of poison into their hands, leaps back and shoots it making it explode damaging any baddies around.
Movement: After dashing for 3 seconds, he turns invisible naturally to increase his dashing speed even further.
Musuo 1: Extermination; Camera zooms into Twitch's face as he gives his iconic laugh and is seen pulling his bow's string back. Camera resets behind Twitch as he then goes on a spree of ulting down every enemy ahead of him as he dashes forward piercing with giant bolts that leave a poison effect on anyone still alive. Musou 2: Sewer Scurry; The camera zooms into Twitch's face as he puts a finger over his lips to shush before turning invisible and diving into a manhole. Suddenly several manholes appear in a star shape ahead of Twitch, each one erupting with green liquid before a sixth one in the middle erupts in another cinematic of Twitch popping out of the sewer fumbling a piece of cheese before he resets back on the ground and eats it as a "cool down" animation.
Alistar: 1,2: Alistar throws two punches then stomps on the ground doing a very small AOE of damage 1,1,2: Alistar throws three punches then charges ahead with his horns out a short distance. 1,1,1,2: Alistar stomps in place doing damage five times before putting his hands into a double fist and hitting the ground one last time doing greater damage 1,1,1,1,2 (Special): Alistar charges ahead twice with his horns out, tossing the first enemy he touches into the air with his horns causing them to make a small AOE upon landing. He then stomps in place repeatedly making all enemies take heavy damage and stumble if they survive.
Movement: Alistar's dash will do damage to enemies he runs through but stops immediately if he hits/clips a wall/unbreakable object.
Musuo 1: Can't hold me back; Alistar starts making a run then pulls his arms out to clothesline a large line of enemies. Each one that survives, along with other Champs, remain on his arms taking more damage before he tosses them in front of him and stomps the ground with both feet upon the pile of baddies. Musuo 2: Mad Cow; Alistar does one really long dash ahead of him, each step sending a shock wave around himself as he's charging ahead. First enemy Champion he comes across gets stuck on his horns. Upon reaching the end of his dash, he tosses them into the air and lets out a loud war cry, damaging the champion in the air and the enemies around him. This gives an Attack and Movement speed buff upon ending.
I know this is a very niche idea but I would love to see something like this created. I feel League has a great variety of characters to have a lot of fun. Could go the full Dynasty Warriors route and charge for the full game, then pay for skins. But would love as well to allow to change skin colors in game. Ether a present of 12 different colors or a color wheel but that may be asking for too much on top of this idea that is, asking for too much. XD
