FAN ART should influence the game!

This might just be me, but I think the Champion Concepts and Skin Concept made by the community should at least be considered for implementation by the Rioters. I know they state on their page that it's only for fun and to practice drawing or whatever, and to get feedback. But it would be so cool to see some of the skins/champions made by the community get in the game. I can't be the only one who wants to see some of these amazing skins and champions in League og Legends, can I?

Though I was strongly tempted to choose nr 4, I must agree with 1. ;)

Skins, yes.

Champ concepts? No.

Concepts go through such rigorous testing and alteration that the final product rarely, if at all, resembles the initial idea. While it is true that Riot sometimes borrows concepts of abilities or genre-based ideas (The "evil" support, the buff muscular support, etc.), they're not going to use champ concepts because Riot already has a ton of people with their own ideas and concepts to use.

Sad to say, but they don't need help in that idea category, regardless of how much many would like to help in that field.

Although I don't think Riot will take a whole champion concept from the forums, I think they are probably getting some inspiration from the community.

"That's not for you to decide" I do not quite thing i understand this option. Of course its not up to "us" to decide, since we as a community do not on Riot games and there for do not decide anything going on in here. but are there really players out there who don't think the users should have any influence whatsoever? Maybe it's just me being narrow-minded, but really?

Multiple fan skins have made their way into the game.

They have done it before it would be awesome if they did more, though they would probably need to make sure that the artists understand that they would not be credited for their work and it would belong solely to riot.

After all the hentai sights HELL NO! But you have a good point I guess. It would be cool to see some of the "good" art get into league. Also, awesome poll dude, made me actually laugh out loud, not like how you just type lol when playing the game and not actually laugh, but I did actually laugh at the poll. Pretty funny.

My feeling are both 1 and 3. Yes, because most skin concepts I see made by the community surpass Riot's limited creativity. (Lissandra, can turn red and green, woopee) or they have themes to fall back on (Harrowing is basicaly turn a character into Thresh) (Dragonslayer, Justicar). But yeah, not for us to decide, they clearly want to keep focusing on keeping the game competitive and accessible rather than make appealing skins (instead of the quick cash grabs I see on a lot of champions).

I would argue that it isn't since you already said that it could be used by them without compensation through the terms of use "Content as well as all modified and derivative works thereof, without compensation to you" here just do control f user content
