Do skin suggestions even matter?

I was just curious, are there are any examples of peoples skin/champion suggestions being taken seriously enough to be put into the game? or is it just for fun to share ideas?

We take a lot of player ideas into consideration! We keep a folder full of cool ideas we see, so when we go to ideate on a new skin for x champion, we have a collection of player creations to look into!

Sometimes, they do make it into the game! For example, AstoNaut. :3

Could we get some examples of ones that are in the folder but haven't made it ingame? :)

Well, I just added Molten Zac the other day, a lot of the PROJECT concepts are in there, the Halloween Miss Fortune, and Sea Witch Nami to name a few.

Again, no guarantees they'll make it in game, but we do discuss them when we're coming up with a new skin for x champion.

Now, just asking out of pure curiosity..

Was Angelic Riven one of the stored ideas?

i mean, back in the old forums, the thing was quite a hit..

I'd have to look, I don't know off hand.

is there any stored lux, zilean or mordekaiser skins? Those guys kinda need new ones, and we were promised another lux one some time ago

RiotmoonstonesJan 25, 20151 votes

Yup, there sure is!

We keep an eye on the boards for skin concepts, as well as on Reddit! As we get closer to a new skin ideation for a champion, we'll also Google say, "Zilean skin concepts" or something of the like to see if there's any additional ideas.

LafouboyJan 26, 20151 votes

How about champion concepts? Does Riot take those into consideration also?

Whats with the unfinished Nautilus and Sivir drawing?

While we have you I just want to let you know that Sgt. Azir and Kentucky Fried Kayle are still out there. The grease burns and bayonets are too much.

Please don't forget about Reaper Zed and Darth Kassadin >:3

AstroNautilus
Pool Party Ziggs
Arcade Miss Fortune
Void Fizz
Firecracker Jinx
Officer Vi
Pop Star Ahri

Just a few, off the top of my mind.

Riot should just make a sticky thread to show the community that they care about the Ideas people put on here by showing them the names of skins that has been created based on the ideas people come up with.

Syn ZykanJan 24, 20151 votes

Wasn't Battle Bunny Riven a fan skin concept? It is mostly for fun but that doesn't mean they are necessarily ignored. Perhaps someone in riot sees a skin concept and it inspires another idea that does get put into the game P:

Klax002saurJan 24, 20151 votes

Haven't seen Void Fizz mentioned and it was a fan concept.

SuperMooseFGCJan 24, 20151 votes

I've been yelling this idea at everybody all year: Tabby Cat Rengar

EmbertineJan 25, 20151 votes

Frost drake Shyvana, void fizz, and several others were all fan made skin ideas that got into league.

Skin suggestions matter,but champion suggestions I don't know. How many champion concepts you see made into actual champions.What about kit suggestions?
