It would be nice if for 1820 RP each, we could create a Custom skin for any Champion and people could view your creations and splash Art in game. What do you guys think?
Okay let me list every reason why this is a horrible idea:
Quality control. Do not even PRETEND that ANY player made skin will look even REMOTELY decent in comparison of the riot made skins because they won't.
Bugs. A skin could intentionally or unintentionally be rigged to bug out and become invisible or have other strange bugs (hitboxs and such)
Quality control (part 2) no one wants to see 4000 attempts at making a pikachu kennen skin where 90% of them fail and the 10% who don't are just annoying.
There already is a system for this. Custom skins have existed since the game was created just google it. Sure others can't see your skin but who the hell cares ketchup fiddlesticks rules.
skinmaps vs champions - you could make your champion look like another champion and confuse the hell out of people mid game
blind pick - if you haven't noticed if you have 2 of any champion on both sides of the teams (blue and red) the enemy champion will have a slightly different color (azirs galactic skin is the best example I have of this he becomes red-ish when on the other team) and this is not possible for custom skins
Customs skins means you could just make other skins or copy their files over and boom you have a 3000rp skin (dj sona for example) for 1800rp? no
lawsuits - the players would make copy-righted content and other companies would be furious (pokemon 101)
Just no. I don't want to see your shit attempts at half decent skins just because you don't like the current ones for some reason. Modify your own files not ours
speaking of modifying files you would need to DOWNLOAD OTHER PEOPLES SKINS BEFORE THE GAME COULD START meaning more lag, higher wait times, and the possibility of corrupting player files before the game starts
bugs (part 2) if something went wrong (if the downloads got screwed up or something) now the player has no skin they're invisible or perhaps their skin just bugs out and blocks the entire map for all players idk what might happen. These skins are VERY carefully tested in every way shape and form this won't happen with player made skins
Just no.

[edit]
A better idea is have people design skin concepts and the community can vote for the best concepts for Riot to create.
do you know how much work that would be for riot? maybe a 5k RP skin but it's still just so much work for them that I really don't think it's a good idea
It would be unbalanced for gameplay as you could impact particle effects on skillshots...
I also wish that my dad would finally come home, but it's not going to happen.
Like If you want A Super Mario Teemo Skin, you could design it and maybe put a T on Teemo's Hat instead of a M
And maybe a Captain America Skin for Pantheon....but you put a P on his Mask instead of a A
Offensive skins, copyright issues, rendering lag, colorblind conflicting skins, epileptic cases, recreating skins of a higher price using the custom skin (ie DJ Sona or Spirit Guard Udyr)
