Because of how good it is? Honestly the amount of really good skin concepts out there are amazing. While I understand riot can't make every concept into a skin I don't think there has been a single one taken or inspired from a concept.

Now I could be wrong so edjamacate me here and name a few for me.

Id love to see some kind of contest in the future were we vote on a skin to be put into the game. once every year or so wouldn't be bad

Schoolgirl Ahri was actually recommended here first as something like 'Japanese School Girl Ahri' and then they made Schoolgirl Ahri.. I think there's like one more but I don't know what it is. But they do take inspiration from our champion concepts into theirs.

I know that Surprise Party Fiddlesticks and Battle Bunny Riven were community suggestions. I think Super Galaxy Rumble was too.

Not only have there been skin concepts taken in by Riot, I believe some champion concepts as well have been used too. If memory serves me well, a few years ago there was a champ concept dubbed "Fish Tank." Lo and behold, we now have Tahm Kench. Not sure entirely if this was inspiration or sheer coincidence, but oh well.

But I will agree, there are some FANTASTIC skin concepts out there. Here's a tumblr blog dedicated showcasing them.

Have a good one. -HD

Wasn't Kindred based off of a concept posted by someone here that got a lot of upvotes?

e: Oops, you meant skins! I'm sure there's been some examples of those too.

A few fan made skins have gone to live, and I know at least a dozen or so others have gained the backing of Riot employees (but didn't make it to live). They have to be very choosy when it comes to this stuff and sometimes skin concept and quality aren't the only factors that determine what skins get made. Fans have made some truly amazing skins over the years though.
