What a League of Legends Movie should be about

If Riot was to make a League of Legends movie, I don't think they should cater to every single player and try to fit as many champions in it as possible. Doing so would cause there to be too many strong personalities warring for attention. Instead, a good idea would be to have the movie revolve around a specific conflict that would only include certain characters that would make sense for the area, ex: a Jhin and Jinx collab to make "art" in Piltover while some Piltover champs try and stop them (again, doesn't have to be all of the Piltover champs), a movie about a war between Demacia and Noxus, Azir rebuilding his empire in Shurima, the list goes on. Riot has created a world where there are so many things going on at once, and it would be unreasonable to somehow create a movie that brings them all together. Just have it focus on one thing that's going on at one place, one time.
If the movie does well, that also opens up the possibility of making more than one movie for different champions/settings (means lots of money). But something that a League of Legends movie should do is affect in-game lore. If Azir is making an empire in the desert, it should affect the game; who knows, it mean an event, additional voice lines, or more. This would also work as free advertising to people who play the game (though they would probably know anyway) and make them happier about the movie since they get some rewards from the movie just existing, even if it isn't good.
I just wanted to throw some ideas out to try and get Riot to make a movie. Players have been asking for this for a while, and if it was well-executed, it has the potential to be a huge increase for the video game industry. So far, most (if not all) video game movies have been bad, but League of Legends sometimes seems like it's been made for a movie. The lore team has been doing such a fantastic job of making their world come to life, and it would be a pity if we just got teases about what these ideas could be.
