So the concepts and creations tab is the correct place to post a champion idea. A few good things to know first though.

  1. Riot will probably not directly use an idea from the forum, but rather make significant changes to various popular forum champions to fit into a single concept.
  2. The post of the champion should probably be structured to include: stats, whether the champ is ranged or melee, the passive, the abilities, the ult, geneal purpose of the character, and (possibly) a suggested build.
  3. Whether Riot sees your post depends HEAVILY on its popularity, so try to make it interesting to forum-goers

Good luck!

Hey there ArchRaiser!

Now I'll try to be upfront and direct with you, it is unlikely you will just have your own champion made. Thousands and thousands of players would love to have their own champion made and unfortunately Riot can't help them all.

Now that doesn't mean all hope is lost. There is a very devoted community here in Concepts and Creations who particularly like to create Champion Concepts. What we often do is create a a characters kit and lore with some basic stuff like their name, appearance, etc.

Now I really suggest you consider making your own champion concept. Not only can it be a ton of fun, but you'll also get some cool insight over time about how champions are designed and gameplay in general. If you click these gold-ish words, you can open a link to one of my recently developed concepts as an example.

Anyways, the first step would be trying to find a core part of the character you really like. Maybe its a mechanic like Azir's sand soldiers which are really cool. Or maybe its some lore and really interesting story like Poppy's. It could also be a type of character. For example the concept I linked you above is about a character named Fronde who rides this big ass elk who's antlers she uses as a long bow. That idea was what originally drove me to fully flesh her out.

One big suggestion to any character you make is to try and not make them super generic. A generic, cliche, fire mage who just throws fire balls in game isn't going to be very well received by the community or Riot most likely. Nor is such a character very thought provoking or interesting. If you look at Riot's modern champions, the characters aren't very generic or cliche. Kindred for example is the "grim reaper" of League of Legends, but they don't have the cliche, generic hooded skeleton with a scythe appearance. You can still have a fire mage as a character, just like you can have a grim reaper character (Kindred), but you should make them more interesting and unique. Something breaks the expectations.

In addition, if you really want to catch Riot's attention with your concept, or just be successful with your concept, you should try to develop your concept as much as possible. Currently it sounds like you have a lot of ideas but you didn't really convey them through the post very much. You showed Kindred's icon with a bunch of items and summoner spells but that doesn't really give me much of an idea of who this character is.

Finally I really suggest you take a look here at this champion concept guide. Its pretty helpful and It's got a lot more to it.

######Edit: I forgot to mention that Concepts and Creations has its own discord which you can see at the top of the Concepts and Creations board. You can talk to people on the discord and if you join it I'd be happy to talk about this in a much more thorough way.

So I had some ideas and it took me a while because of school and drama and just other things xD but I came up with an idea for some of the abilities, this champion being reliant on no resource, a quick high damage jungler possibly top or mid lane, main weapon being an orb and a blade.

Passive (active): the next basic attack is charged and range is increased temporarily to do critical damage (+W=slows) Passive (Unique & constant): For every 1 minion kill is one stack granting one AD and .3% lifesteal and spell vamp.
Q: vaults launching small projectiles (the lighting blots that should disperse from the orb) in the direction of the closest 3 enemys and deals 25% explosive damage to any nearby enemies in a short range. (includes jg monsters and minions) (low damage / AP scaling/ CD 5 seconds @ lv 1/) (+W = blinds) W: Empowers the next ability (Q, E, And basic attack) to stun, slow, or blind. Allies gain a small shield if near when cast. (no damage/ shield scaling based on hp/ / CD 25 seconds @ lv 1 seconds / cost 1 passive stack) E: Blinks to the target location around the target unit. If an enemy champion is the target. its hit by a critical charge slashing in front of them. ( medium damage /AD scaling/ CD 8 sec @ lv 1/) (+W = stun) R: jumps off the back of a near by champion and throws her blade into the ground underneath her slowing, blinding, and silencing enemies while dealing damage to those in range. (high damage/ AP AD scaling combined/ CD 135 @lv 1)

I also thought this champ could have something to do with kindredKindred in the lore because they appeal to me (I think I used the wrong word?) and the new sacred sword skins coming out kind of made me second guess the visuals making it way harder of me so I had to start over so...... It hit me... My brother having a love for darkinsAatrox Kayn Varus why not be the next of the darkin creations... but I thought about it and there only being few darkins that Riot has clued us in on, 3 already being reveled so why not have another darkin? Maybe a female? A all mage?

All mage darkin topic If so I considered this "mage darkin" the ult could spawn the darkin from a orb but elements could and would have to include one of the enemy champions , the orb being the main weapon of the darkin champion bringing that variety to the darkin family? item 3112 <? but this idea isn't fully devoloped... and its really only one of my ideas <3
