@Riot, I'd like to know about your scrapyard.

I think every video game out there has gone through a few concept ideas at one point, and maybe a few complete yet trashed ideas. This thread is just asking if it's possible if I could get a glimpse at what could've been. I remember looking at the League of Legends wiki and noticing champions, outside of Urf, that you guys had planned but ultimately didn't release.

I'd like to see more on that end; champions, art, lore, just whatever basically that you guys worked on at one point and ultimately decided not to release. Hopefully I can find a treasure trove of ideas here.

Many old champion ideas and concepts eventually end up being used for a new champion. Nami, Elise, Riven, Azir, Olaf, Quinn, Braum....all of these champions were created from other scapped champion ideas.

Also Riot, I would like to see some concept art for those scapped ideas as well. Can never have enough of your concept art, Its amazing.

the Female engineer was turned into either vi or jinx. Or even both. I heard someone wants to make a champ with a permanent pet. They are still working on that.

Nautilus and Ziggs took inspirations from one champion named Ivan. http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20150307173619/leagueoflegends/images/c/c5/Ziggs_concept_4.jpg

Well, Seth became Azir. Spider parasol lady became Elise... Though I wonder what lore has been lost. That would be interesting to hear about, certainly

Scroll down and there's a bunch of canceled champions.
