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!
