How about a Warhammer-esque tabletop game set in the League of Legends Universe?

So you guys have been branching out and League isn't really just the MOBA anymore at this point. You've created a board game, 2 metal albums, a k-pop song, a multi million dollar esports scene, tft, lots of other art and music, tons of merch and a rich and deep ficitional universe.

And I think a tabletop miniature game like Warhammer 40k would fit neatly into that list. For those of you who don't know, Warhammer 40k is a game where you paint and build your own army of miniatures and let them battle against the miniature armies of other people on a miniature battlefield. It has a lot of rules which make for an in-depth military strategy game. If you want to find out more, click on this link.

And if you look at the League of Legends universe, it's basically a perfect fit for a similar tabletop game. You have several different factions in Runeterra with distinct traits that allow you to easily turn them into tabletop armies. Demacia for example would be a low model count elite army without any mages but a lot of anti-mage abilities, The Void could allow you to make a horde style army with countless of little critters led by giant void monsters etc.

Not only that, all the champions that already exist in the actual game can easily be turned into unique special characters for the tabletop game, which could reflect their lore and their playstyle in the MOBA. Jarvan IV for example could give a buff to all nearby units but if he fails a morale check or dies, all those units around him will get a debuff instead, representing the fact that he's the king.

Just imagine fielding an army of Demacian elite soldiers that you painted up all by yourself against an invasion of let's say Freljordian raiders that your friend brought to the table. Maybe you've even gone the extra mile and you came up with your very own colour scheme and background, or you play with characters and subfactions that are already established within the lore and you field king Jarvan Iv with all of his retinue. The possibilities are endless.

So yeah. It's kind of out there but it's worth considering if you guys feel like branching out again ( if anyone from Riot who can make that kind of decision is reading this to begin with lul ).
