An awesome idea for Riot......

I have an amazingly awesome idea for League of Legends and i felt it was so good i thought I'd try my luck with the message boards.

Essentially, making it possible to earn (and then have to buy) different pieces of a champion's skin, to make each character more unique, and giving the player a sense of accomplishment for achieving certain milestones. For instance, lets use Morgana: Land 1,000 stuns: unlock a new soundbite when the Q lands Do 50,000 dmg from your pool: unlock a pool with animated black souls in the pool Block 500,000 damage with the Black shield: unlock a different coloured Blackshield.

The beauty of this, is once a player has unlocked an achievement of this type, they are almost guaranteed to want to then buy it with RP, so they can show off what they've earned. I cant imagine anything else in the game i would want to rush out and buy a card for, then to showcase an achievement like this. If you unlocked a diamond plated sword for Master Yi, For getting 100 kills on kids in diamond or higher, how long would it take you to wanna buy it? :D

It can be done even in steps, to maximize profits: Land 1,000 stuns: unlockable soundbite (150RP) Land 10,000 stuns, unlockable gold Q animation (250RP) Land 100,000 stuns: unlockable Q with a souls face on it (350RP) Land 1,000,000 stuns: unlockable Q that changes bright colours as it's fired (500RP)

Perhaps changing a characters move animations isn't the direction you'd want to take the game, but you like the idea. Small changes to the character itself would have the same effect, without challenging the integrity of the game. For instance: Land 1,000 stuns: unlocks blue wings that can be attached to any skin Win 500 games in gold or higher with Morgana: unlockable Gold, Platinum, or diamond wings that can be attached to any skin.

This could be done with every champ, 50 times over. different coloured boots, different colored hair, gloves, shields, skin colour, hats, whatever.......all unlockable and interchangeable, all costing RP. I guarantee the vast majority will NOT achieve some swag, but opt not to pay for it. and with this being possible x20 (ish) with every champ, it opens up a huge new way for Riot to rake in a ton of money.

All it would take, is by clicking on your champions at your out of game screen, then selecting a champion, it would not only bring up the buyable skins, but also show you an ingame look at your champion, listing all the cosmetic changes you have achieved, and showing you what it looks like on each skin.

-Riot could stand to earn a lot of money, as it would be the most "must-have" buyable items in the game. -It would change 1 champ with 3/4 skins, into 1 champ with 1-200 different cosmetic options, without having to release more skins. -It would allow players to work towards more goals, and give them even more of a reason to play this great game.

  • It would make nearly every champion, in every game, entirely unique cosmetically, everytime, based on what that specific player is good at.

*Also you could allow these smaller pieces of skins only unlockable if you are not a toxic player, reducing toxsic behavior, much like the mystery chests are hoping to do. stats earned while in the toxic pool, do not count, much like you cannot earn boxes until you reform

---One problem may be, "well this morg isnt even trying to win, all she is doing is running around blackshielding people trying to get her achievement" So you make all the shields that are counted towards these achievements, only count in WINNING games. this too would promote playing to win, but more importantly, not giving up because they have nothing to lose.

*1 key thing here, is to NOT JUST make them buyable, but make them achievable by reaching certain milestones, THEN buyable, thus causing the player to almost HAVE to buy it to show off what they have achieved. If they were made just buyable, sure, it may do well adding to more reasons to spend RP, but not even comparable to what it could bring in if they have to be earned first.

Thanks for your time
