DLC Champion Scenarios

Ever since I started hearing about Rioters discussing better methods of training new players, I couldn't get this concept out of my mind. What if we had bite-size downloadable champion scenarios that served as both a tutorial and a juicy bit of lore to experience?

Yes, I know Story Mode requests have been done to death on these boards, but I want to give my own idea of how it can be done effectively without getting in the way of those that just come for the pvp gameplay (as in, the game taking too much GB space as a whole).

Missions can be comprised of scenarios featuring NPCs, AI and of course, cutscenes with dialogue. Unlike the Bilgewater Event, these events won't have anything to do with pvp, and will be part of a standalone mode using the game's engine.

Depending on your champion, tasks consist of destroying or defending specific objectives, escorting an AI companion safely or solving a puzzle to defeat the enemy. Each champion can have an average of 3 missions, ranging from easy to very difficult. These can teach you how to most effectively use a champion's skillset and positioning.

These optional champion mission packs can be released at any time, or to coincide with a new champion's release. Spend some IP or RP to purchase and download them, then you can attempt to complete them and unlock a unique summoner icon for that champion.

There are so many champions in LoL, so not every champion needs to have their own missions, not straight away. Some can even include a few champions at once, maybe even incorporate co-op, but it's probably best to start small. It would take quite a number of developers to detach from the main game to work on this, so this can be a reason to put dormant Rioters to work, or hire new folks altogether.

If anyone has ideas or opinions to add to this, feel free to post!

It could be interesting. They could have the first one or two be canon but could then just have fun with the last one. Like, say, Tryndamere goes to fight fight sejuani but Aatrox shows up and suddenly you're in a 2v1 against aatrox and an empowered sej. Or renekton going to kill nasus and having to fight his way through soldiers and other shurima champs. Or maybe special ones tied to ultimate skins. Like, say, you pick E. lux and yo have to do that whole "elemental titans are appearing" and you have to fight giant versions of champs. It could go Malphite (earth/nature), Zac (water), Shyvana (dragon form, fire) Anivia (air, i know she's more ice but i needed an air).

just my thoughts.

I have been wanting this since i started playing in season 2, but I also understand the amount of work to be done on Riots part and agree that it might be impossible for every champ. Possibly a few selected ones
