@Riot Meddler, just wondering about a rumor.

I heard once in a comment section long, long ago (insert unnecessary Star Wars joke here) that you guys aren't able to use Champion Concepts due to some sort of copyright(?) or design problems. i want to really know if this is true, because if it's a 100% chance that Champ Cons won't be implemented, I just feel the need to ask why i should keep going. I already have like 4 concepts for wannabe champs in production, but i feel like "What's the point of making these if i know that i won't be able to see any of my creations that I poured my heart into and raised like my child and spent countless hours re-designing drafts and lore so they fit into the world of Valoran unless I have a job in Champion Design at Riot?" I understand that it's still fun to make them, but i want to pursue a career in video game design and i feel like something like this would give me a first sample of what it's like to see millions of people around the world enjoying something that I created with that exact thought in mind.

I understand that no Champ Con is perfect, but i am willing to take the punches and constructive criticism to make them balanced and modified to work with Champions in the game. So while i pour my heart out and wonder if it's actually smart to keep typing at this point, i ask you one question, Riot:

Are our designs for nothing more than the entertainment of the Boards?
