Future for Riot - Champion Scenarios

TheHobbits·4/8/2017, 8:02:32 AM·1 votes·430 views

Eventually Riot will branch out into new gaming territory. I mean they cant just stay on the Rift forever. Here is what I hope Riot will eventually do:

Champion Scenarios Little challenges designed for champions to portray lore/story and possibly even co-op scenarios too. So what do I mean by this? I'll need you to use some imagination with me.

Picture a map in the Shadow Isles and you are Lucian. Your mission is to kill as many ghouls as you can. Most will go down in one hit, but there are many. You need to duck and dodge them, line up shots and get those sweet double-shot procs.

There would be some big enemies too with telegraphed abilities that you must dodge then shoot them from certain angles. Heal shrines are along the way. You step into an open ruin-plaza. Your way back is sealed and there, in the center, is Thresh.

An epic boss fight ensues. Thresh, as a boss, would have a series of hook and swoop attacks that you would need to dodge at the right times. He would spawn waves of ghouls and maybe even bring in Hecarim at the halfway point.

Upon defeating Thresh he lanterns himself away. You have won this round, but not the war. This would be the scenarios end.

Can you kind of see what I'm building at? These scenarios would obviously have adjusted cool-downs and such specifically for the gameplay, but still in that League moba-style play.

Another idea: Rengar
You seek to kill the strongest beasts and claim their trophies. You are deep in the jungles searching for a track. You are ambushed by raptors! They circle around and close in. You fight your way out and kill the alpha. Not your desired target, but a neat trophy none the less.

You realize that you are going to need more power to kill this target. You need to kill the Bramble Back (red buff). Again bigger targets would have telegraphed abilities that you must maneuver and attack at the right time.

With the Bramble Backs power now gained Rengar pushes forward and finds... a little fuzzy Yordle... with a boomerang? This can't be the one that left those tracks. (See where this is going)

Gnar, bola, RAWR, mega-Gnar Boss battle.


What do you think? Would you play scenarios of your favorite champions for a little slice of lore and challenge?

I'm going to work my way through all the champs alphabetically.

I rather see them make an rpg where you cant play champion but rather make your own. Then you can meet the various champs as you play the game. Rather than try and make a single player expierance out of a simplified rts.

I always thought something like this could be a nice little tutorial for new champs.

I dont see the point of rushing skins/champions the first place... it's a mob, the game hasnt really changed all that much if you think about and people keep playing it. Only difference is that people actually leave to the bad balancing and the annoying ban system. (1000 downvotes inc).

ANd dont tell me how many people are actually playing. I alone have 5-6 accounts and I don't even bother making new ones all the time. There's people with literally 10 to 20 accounts...

Aatrox -** Aatrox - the Darkin Blade**

A Legend of War

Picture a large town, ablaze and in chaos. The young and old fleeing. The strong standing to fight the coming onslaught. Those defending a have been pushed to their limits. Divided and desperate, on the brink of surrender. When, all of a sudden, from the shadow and smoke a tall dark figure emerges. Aatrox. The defenders are filled with renewed spirit, a burning lust to destroy all those that stand in their way. To push back those that have taken everything.

You mission is to wend your way through the battle ground and burning town to rally as many defenders as you can and return them to the war at hand.

You would face waves of lesser melee units, gracefully cutting your way through the lines. Then face the ranks of mages and archers working in unison to create living swam's of arrows. Finally facing the army general and his bodyguard.


The map would be fairly open with streets between the wooden houses that are ablaze. Paths would become blocked by falling debris that you would need to jump over. There would be a time limit for the first part to rally as many defenders as you can before facing the attackers head-on.

Dark smoke, blood-stained earth, raging fires and charred wood. Dead bodies lay sprawled in many places.

Ahri - Ahri - the Nine-Tailed Fox

I'm stumped here. Not really sure about her lore now as here bio still mentions the Institute of War.

The info on Vastaya has put Ahri in that category, but I'm just not sure. Can anyone help me on this scenario?

I would imagine maybe you charm your way through some bad guys, but the boss is some kind of hex-tech machine that cant be charmed?

Akali - Akali - the Fist of Shadow

"Your mission, as part of the Kinkou, you must fulfill your duty and begin Pruning the Tree. Eliminate the enemy that threaten the Balance."

This scenario would see you sneaking through enemies and assassinating all targets. Enemies would become alerted if they spot you. You would need to duck between shadows (which would essentially be Bushes from the Rift) and strike with precision.

The boss would be a big guy that would shine light into the shadows to find you, but you need to stay one step ahead to take him down.

Possibly a Noxian setting or perhaps even Zaun. Traveling though streets and then into a big manor or fort through the courtyard garden with patrolling guards and into the main hall.
