A narrative to the world of Runeterra is absolutely pointless when Champions are stuck in a never ending conflict, were both sides have issues that can never be resolved. My point is is that nobody technically really dies in the League of Legends and I guess I'm quoting: "War doesn't decide who is right, only who is left." So as long as Noxus is alive they will fight Demacia.

well.. 
died last year actually
I think that characters can die in the narrative,its just that they don't want to kill off a character before said character went through lots of stories.
After all every champ is basically the main character of their own story and you don't kill off the main character after the first episode;)
The "League of Legends" as institution do not exist in the lore anymore, so, the "champions" arent stuck in a never ending conflict. Gameplay is not connected with the lore.
i think dawngate tried to be more rpg like with how in depth the story was and the daily comic stuff they did that was just amazing, but it was standard Moba gameplay with some amazing small QoL things. Sadly EA didn't see instant payout in a few months... cus online FTP games" ALWAYS DO"
Problem is that the summoners in the lore were meant to control the conflicts, so instead of wasting thousands of lives in their wars, they can just duke it out with their best men, AKA the champions of the League.
Problem is that the summoner's were retconned, so no idea how are they not already ending countries in their wars these days.
I expected the quote to be, "War...war never changes."
Man, 4 down votes on my question. Maybe I should have thought of a better title.
Yes and No. Yes cause this format of gameplay can work for an RPG game, no cause no MOBA centric company has done this nor are they planning to do it in this format.
It's called Blade and Soul. xD
It's an MMORPG
Once you hit 50 you can participate in the 1v1 or 3v3 or 6v6 battle arenas and they fix your stats to where your gear isn't what it goes off of to keep things fair.
There's also world Faction PVP that does go off your gear. It gets a little nuts especially when you have like 20 people on each team going ham at skypetal plains.
As far as League goes with an RPG, I don't think it'll happen unless they make it some single player lore story for a character.
