How are champions created?

Some friends and I were wondering how champions came to be. I think Each team (Writing/art/game balance) add their contribution to the new champion with a general idea given to them at the start. My friend thinks that there is one specific group of people completely responsible for the creation of the champion to be passed off to the other teams later to be fine-tuned. Could a dev answer and sate my curiosity?

There have been a number of articles posted by staff over the last 3 years that cover how things are made. Look them up.

That's a league player response right there, don't link me said videos or show any helpful attitude, just sit on your pedestal and look down on me for being too stupid to not watch every video riot's released lmao

They aren't videos.
This information has been covered in multiple /devblog articles posted on this site. You could see them on the home page, on surrender@20, and they even show up on the game client when they first go up.
I am simply pointing out that Riot has been talking about such information over the last 3 years. Be it to answer a devblog question or when they talk about how they made a new champion (like when talking about Kindred it kind of began as sketches on a napkin). You can easily put the work in yourself to dig up this information, you clearly have the internet.

It took me 5 seconds to google it

Do you often expect others to take initiative for you?

Someone has a cool idea, they bring that cool idea to the meeting, they work with various teams in fleshing that champion out, they get sent to the balance team, they get play tested. I think that's how it goes.
