Concepts and the lack of any response

Upyermukluk··7 votes·1,053 views

I have many (some great and some garbage) champion concepts. Many fleshed out and many as wip. Is there a way for me to get these to riot other then here?

because not only do other people almost NEVER comment on champion concepts riot never seems to have any input This board is for posting concept's sure but what good does that do if no one bothers to help refine

Well there are tons of champion concepts here on the forum and Riot isn't allowed to use them eitherway,so it makes sense that they rarely respond to a concept.(after all making a champion takes several months,so it is obvious that even with some help of a rioter your champion ideas won't get that fleshed out).

If you want your posts to get more attention,then I'd suggest to give your champs a clear and unique theme(and maybe post a picture of what he/she would roughly look like),because just posting a bunch of skills with numbers isn't usually going to draw attention.

So are the ones I put on league amino. But since I can't do art, people don't give two shits and go gaga over art done by one of the people who CRANKS OUT ART EVERY DAY WHILE THE PEOPLE LIKE ME WHO WORK FOR WEEKS TO MAKE A CHAMP SEEM AWESOME AND VIABLE DON'T GET ANY RECOGNITION WHATSOEVER! Sorry, it just frustrates me when people who can't do art get passed over for a visual spectacle.

Go to Pax and find a riotor, Not really that hard, or Mail it to them. I'm curious Though, what are your concepts.

Alternatively, hope and pray that you can get lucky enough to be in a game with Phreak or Meddler or Scarizard or another Riot employee. I think the design stream on Twitch would have lucky viewers play games with the Riot Crew?

My personal belief (hope) is that art and formatting will draw much more attention than just dumping a wall of text out there for people to read. Ideally my concepts and art would be good enough to draw attention out of their own merit.

But I'm curious too, what are your concepts?

Here are mine:

Imoen, An Honest Thief - A yordle with a giant key as her firearm, she'd be League's premier Support / Marksman.

Oracle, the World's Witness - She has command over her field of sight and can control the vision of allies and enemies.

Thank you for pointing this out. I've had trouble with this as well. But im curious, like everyone else, what our your champion concepts? I only have one so far. His name is:

Delyora, the Starheart Blacksmith.

I posted him on these forums about a day ago and have had no feedback :/

Ah this is why the thing is that the CCOS exists. A little bit of a competition on the boards that allows us concept creators to get feedback. This months hasn't been posted yet but it should be coming around pretty soon. Still it is a shame that normally we don't get much attention to our concepts.

Community Concept Open Stage. It's like a little place where champion concepts are shown off to get feedback and compete for best in show.

This address was last month's entries. Be on the lookout for December's entries and they can help get feed back.

Riot will never react to champion concepts, nor will they ever (openly) use them. They have said multiple times that they can't do that because of legal reasons. I'm sorry, but thats just how it is :/

lack of attention from the board itself is another matter...My concepts usually get some attention, some more then others. It all depends how you spread the word about it. I always post my concepts on a local league of legends facebook page and that always gathers a lot of attention :) The quality of the concept also matters. Is it a unique champion? Does it have interesting mechanics? Is it an interesting theme? Does it have a catchy name/title? In my experience, the more agressive/gritty concepts (or dragons) get the most attention. I once made a very interesting concept of a traditional fairy champion, but nobody was really interested in it...So it all depends on what the boards want and the quality of your work :/

What part of "Riot won't use or read it" didn't you understand XD I'm sure they are unique :) And well made and interesting....But if you do it just for riot, you're better off finding another hobby. I'm not trying to be hurtful or anything, i just don't want you to be disappointed. You should make concepts for your own fun and creative outlet, not with the goal of actually getting it in the game.

I'll check out your concepts and see what I can add to it :)

Hmm this place is just an outlet for fan work. It's generally off limits to ever go into the game. Persinally, I only come here when I'm bored and feel like downvoting everything in here.

Is that a joke or do you actually do that? Cus if so then thats really rude :/ People work really hard on these things and just downvoting it without reading it or leaving a reason why is just plain manner-less.
