@Riot, are you looking at champion concepts?
Don't know about other guys, but i spend a lot of time (2 - 10 hours per concept), so i wonder if that have a purpose. Do you guys look on our work or are we working for nothing?

Idk I just do them for fun, I don't really expect much.
It's mostly for you. It would be a lot of legal hassle to get a champion concept in, and even commenting on one is going to cause an uproar. They may browse through them, but they'll never leave an indication.
I think Rioters look at the champion concept section for a bit of inspiration once in a while. I think It's mainly just for people to post their own interesting concepts which are fun? I wouldn't know, it seems fun.
Does anyone know why i cant create a new discussion...
Last one I made just got -4 likes from the community and that was it. I don't need Riot looking at my concepts, I just want to know what other people makes.
Volibear came from the boards, if what everyone says is true. I think they'll take very basic concepts (Such as polar bear champion) and run with it. They can't take entire kits though, because that might cause them legal problems if someone went and sued them over it.
in any case, it would be interesting to have an editor mode (like War3 and Sc2) that allows you to create custom games with custom champs.
Bard was based off a champion concept
I'm pretty sure they only use them for inspiration, but I do know they watch them because some of the Rioters comment on them.
Yes they do, my concept was made into braum (alland shield of demacia, description is scarily similar)
Actually both Ekko and the umpcoming Yin-Yang champion (if it trully is them) come from champion concepts. The latter was even commented on by a Rioter; it didn't contain any kit, just a lot of nicely done artwork.
When it comes to Ekko, he was originally concepted as a AA-based champion with abilities that scaled with attack speed. His E was changed around a bit since the original concept, but the rest of his kit was rearranged by Riot. Oh, and originally he was meant to be Ezreal's jealous little bro. :P
Damn, don't require sauce from me please, I really don't have time to Google hard now.
