[IDEAS] Putting the S in Riot Games

DaSmartezt·Aug 12, 2018·1 votes·843 views

I'm just going to get to my point. I think it would be great if Riot had a place/thread where current LoL players could give their input on ideas for new and different games.

For example, and I cannot claim credit for these ideas:

An Age of Empires-style game where the factions are Runeterran (think like Civilization but less structured and organized, more focused on RTS and combat)
A game that gasp might not be infinitely replayable that tells the story of a faction we may know little about, like the Targonians (think playing through a game where you conquer the stars and then benevolently decide to grant the worthy of Runeterra a chance to host an Aspect of Targon)
A game in which you're an urchin in a city in Runeterra, like Piltover or Zaun, and have to climb the social classes through multiple shady means.

These are just the ideas that I've either come up with or seen so far. Others are encouraged in the comments!

This certainly would be cool but there Rioters whose job is (at least to some degree) to find out what game has potential and what game people will like the most.

I mean I'm not asking for "this is what Riot should focus on" here, my idea can literally be boiled down to quantity over quality.

I wanted a place where the current LoL community can brainstorm, and rioters can judge them:

"That game has no potential because the plot is infeasible" Or "That is actually a cool idea, maybe it could work"

I'm not trying to develop any games here, just put ideas out there. No matter how many Rioters they have on the creative Dev team, I'm certain that 2 percent of the NA server would both be as passionate about Runeterra, and also outnumber the dev team. Even if almost all of the ideas are trash, some of them are guaranteed to be things the creative team hadn't thought of.
