@Riot idea for bringing community created champions to the game

Hello Reader,

Many community members have ideas for new Champions for League of Legends, some better than others, but I think it's awesome that people are so involved with the game, and the LoL universe. Some of the champion concepts are very detailed and thought through, with back stories, abilities, and even in-game voice lines.

My question, which includes the idea, is: would Riot be willing to make a community created champion if a certain number of people (to be determined by Riot) "pre-order" it? For example, taking Senna: the Lantern's Light concept as it is a very detailed one, and have Riot ask people if they wish to see it in LoL by pre-ordering it for say 975RP / 7800IP. If the concept hits the required number of pre-orders, that she would be created by Riot.

Of course, Riot should be the one selecting which concept they think is potentially worthy of making it into the game. I also think Riot should use their creative freedom to adjust parts of the concept to fit better into the universe or make for more healthy abilites, although I'd hope they would use this selectively in order to honor the original concept. I do understand that Riot, as they have said many a times, have shelves full of complete and partial champion concepts.

I would like you know your thought on this idea in the comments, and through voting in the poll.

Cheers' H33P

I don't really like the idea of a popularity contest deciding the addition of new champions, because there are plenty of good concepts that don't get the attention they deserve, while the opposite is happening as well. Instead of having Rioters sift through community created concepts to maybe find one or two concepts that could be implemented their time is probably better spent working on their own champions.

The thing is that all concepts sudmitted here are completely theoretical and have not been tested anywhere, that's why I doupt Riot would bring any community created champion to game.

Why would I pre-order a champion that they might not even make? I'm pretty sure riot does, but not in the way you might of expected. They look at the champions, that doesn't mean they copy exactly what they say. They could introduce that champion as someone who looks completely different but the abilities would be similar. Also they might integrate certain abilities.
