If League of Legends were a Create-A-Champion type of game..?
Where instead of picking a champion, those Champions instead exist as trainers, or "Templates" for you to gain skills from--skills that alongside your choses class and subclass will provide certain stat increases/decreases to your character; and in their place you play with your own custom Champion. To go along with the system, it's up to us as players to create the design and biography of our Champions. All of the original lore is there for the characters, but as new characters, locations, factions, etc are added it only provides more for us to draw from. Instead of buying champions for thousands upon thousands of BE we'd instead purchase clothing or weapon designs, animations, taunts, or those Champions as ability trainers for much lower prices. Even without Champions to purchase, we could still purchase Epic, Legendary, Ultimate variations of above-mentioned products and collect them all as our own Skins. As a game, it wouldn't replace League but act as another project for Riot.
To that idea, I ask you:
What's their race? Where did they originate? Where do they live now? What nation do they hold allegiance to? What Faction are they affiliated with? What Champions are they affiliated with? Ranged or Melee? Attack or Ability-focused? What passive would you have? Who's abilities would you use? What's your Champion's primary class? Secondary class? Anything significant about their story?
All the Fan-Fiction aside, how interested in something like this would people be? It gives a personal touch to every game while still having something for Riot to sell us and make money off. As well, I feel that it'd be easier to balance things on an individual level than it is having to balance Champions as a whole.
Personally, I feel like I'd be much more interested in a game like this instead of what we have now. I always find myself growing tired of playing Champions because none of them are really what I'm interested in playing. Then there's the debate of inclusiveness among other things...
