Skin creator software. (Riot and Skin Creatos will love this.)

I do not work for Riot, nor do I think they would hire a dumbass like me. But this was genius. I was talking to my friends the other day, and we play Lol, of course. Then we came to the topic of skins, and how fun it would be if Riot created a custom skin creator software that would allow gamers to create there own skins. We were all quite skeptical of the idea, but then I thought, "That could be something Riot had a chance to expand on." People creating custom skins and people getting free access to all the skins, but with a weekly limit. For example, if I saw a Quinn skin I liked and wanted to try, I can, but only for a week. This could lead to some creative skin concepts. Riot could make competitions, and get peoples creative side out, and the best skin concept made wins RP and will have their skin be designed at a professional level if it isn't already.

Riot and skin creators alike could benefit from this. Think about the opportunities.

Let me know what you all think. I would love to hear your thoughts about this idea.

Riot is actually doing the opposite, and killing the custom skins community (mapskins/wooxy/etc) through a security patch that is encrypting the League exe soon.

The only issue is if people make skins that give them an advantage through faulty visual effects on skills, disproportionate character model sizes and of course graphically obscene skins. There would need to be some regulation. Unless you mean a software they don't use on the actual LoL client?

I meant a separate program that does not use the actual LoL client. Sorry, should have expressed that.

Thank for your concern. ;)

There are plenty of third party programs that do this.

You can simply make the skins local, like only you see it on your end. Each person can equip a skin for a different champion or something. I think the real issue is, this would hurt revenue from real skins

Riot would be flooded with troll skins such as nude champion models or things with childish drawings like dicks or memes. I also think you may underestimate how costly it is to develop graphic arts software. So on top of having to make a department to filter through skin designs all day, they'd have to put in a large investment into a programming team. Also being able to try on skins in any mode that is multiplayer would see a decrease in skins sales, since people would more likely jump to the next free trial skin.

No system or new software is perfect in the beginning. It can always be improved and get new features added or removed. When building a system, like the one I mentioned, you never want to rush. The system will cost more, and many unfixable bugs could occur.

If their program team were, inadequate. Then, your statement is true.

However, for what I have observed their team has built many phenomenal games, and have kept the game from bugging quite well. I dought there would be a problem. When; it comes to development.

Regulating the skins are a lot harder, but be honest. How many players do you see picking a nude or dick skin? Matter of fact, even creating or wanting those skins? You will probably be reported or banned on the spot.

Skin sales would most likely stay the same since Riot would focus on taking already made skins down. A business growth; comes from competition. Creating their own will force them to do better.

It sounds counterintuitive, but that how we as humans learn, create, expand, and improve. Competition and the determination to do better than others and becoming better than others is what made us humans climb the food chain in the first place. Nowadays we are greedy, not competitive.

Thanks for you reply.

Skins is how Riot makes most of their money. Creating your own skin would create a huge deficit to Riot.
