This LoL video idea WILL GO VIRAL by storm, promise!

I tried sending to Riot contact, but reading their support topics they highly advise to share my idea here as they do read the forums. So here it goes.

First of all, I REALLY REALLY want League of Legends one of the 21st Century's biggest things, I rly rly want it to go BOOM each year, and YES, I'D LOVE IT IF I EVER HAD THE OPPORTUNITY to work for Riot. I consider myself a visionary, an innovator.

The idea behind this super viral video is simple... Virtual Reality. Take the famous players nowadays, Faker, Bjergsen, Wildturtle, etc. and have'em connect to the Rift through a Matrix kind of helmet. Create a room where they choose their champions, and have em be the champions on the rift. It's like Riot saying "THIS IS THE FUTURE OF LEAGUE OF LEGENDS, you no longer control your champion, you become the champion". And then the video would go on focusing on the connection between the champions and their players, like... let's say Reignover plays Graves, the moment Graves smiles during the video, there will also be a shot of Reignover smiling behind his helmet.

And the cherry on top, we all know who the most subscribed streamer is on Twitch... At the end of the video, bring a jungler who makes them all wonder "Who is that?"... Nightblue3.

Riot stating VR is the future... will make the worldwide moba fans go NUTS. And for the already League fans, bringing Nightblue3 in it at the end... They'll all go NUTS.

I would LOVE some feedback on this idea, I would LOVE any kind of attention from the Riot staff members... I would be eternally grateful to see this concept being made a (virtual) reality.

A virtual reality version of League sounds cool but would be stupidly hard to actually play well since everything now is played from an overhead view and the amount of actual movement required in the game would make playing impossible for a huge majority of the players.

I am sure the transition from overhead view to realtime eyesight would be the least of problems. But look at us, we're already talking about that possibility, either a success or not, it at least deserves a board discussion. Think Big, who knows what the face of gaming will look like in 20 years. Consider the difference between 90's and today. The 90's could never have imagined the gaming tech and it's evolution the way we enjoy it today. I dont envision this in 2-3 years, I'm talking about the League in 2025, like... THE future.

There's not really a point to discuss something that requires 10+ years of technology to be developed before it's even a possibility. The way the game is designed it wouldn't transition well, if they made an entirely new game designed with VR then that's a different thing.

Im pretty sure VR aint fps only based, you can have the overhead view in the VR just as well as on a PC screen... Anyway, the topic aint about VR, it's about making the concept video... which we both agreed that it sounds cool.
