Not a QQ, but an actual inquiry. I'm just curious if a fan-made champion was ever created?
If not, it would be cool to have a contest where the winner's champion actually gets created.
Of course something like that would be hard to deliver on.
Even if they have they used the concept they never admitted it. The closest is "inspired by"
Meaning, we don't owe anyone anything
Well orianna was based on a fan-made concept of a champion that uses a ball of flame just like orianna does now. I also believe that Yasuo was based on a fan concept called "Oz, the blade of honour". So we best just keep making concepts :)
Concepts like ours help give riot inspiration on making their own cannon champions. All we do is provide the kits and abilities that can synergize well together.
Anyone remember Angus, the Puncher?
A friend of mine was actually credited with at least part of the conception of Ziggs. It was almost 2 years until he was given anything for it (his choice of any skin, he chose Medieval Twitch), but he left his mark on the game.
Braum was kinda created by orbital dropkick. He was nicknamed Angus. http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=2342104
