That is all I need those 2 guys and me can easily make a story for this game and it will not necessarily be "fan service." It will be the story The League of Legends deserves!
P.S. I'm not joking...

which is why if I'm made a rioter it would not be "unsolicited."
Pyrodinium1 votesThe comment was on the topic of pitching a story, not your main point.

Well if I did write a story an entire story and post it to boards that covered every single champions completely(which I'm pretty sure would be impossible) I wouldn't have full rights to that game.
Pyrodinium1 votesWriting professionally is not as simple as just having three folks sit down and build an entire world.
If it were that easy, they would have completed the retcon long ago.

But it is...actually you don't even need that many people...in fact I can give you examples of this George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones) George Lucas (Star Wars) I chose them because it is an uneven number so any problems can be solved by a vote.
Sharjo1 votesThey didn't make an entire story universe in a day, a week, or a month. That took many months, many years of work. To actually build a world with the level of depth seen in those franchises takes a lot of god damn work and takes an ungodly long amount of time to build and then actually show.

when did I say I was going to make it in a day?
Pyrodinium1 votesThere is a lot of difference between working alone in your own world (when you are free to inject your own tastes, opinions and biases), and building on an existing intellectual property owned by a third party.
GRR Martin writes the stories of the Seven Kingdoms by himself, of course, but he is both the creator, the owner and the writer of the saga. He doesn't have to answer to anybody. By contrast, Runeterra's IP is owned by Riot Games, and they decide what flies and what doesn't. In addition, if you put all the decision power in a few people, what happens if they leave the company?
Even more, one of your examples fails to prove your point: George Lucas surely came up with the basic idea for Star Wars, but the original script was rubbish. A huge amount of Star Wars' awesomeness came from input from other people.

Which is why I want those two to work with me. The reason they have yet to come up with an actual story and only bits and pieces of lore is because they have people working on the actual game. Which they can not sacrifice halting other projects to start building the story which is why I'm asking for a small group of people.
Those were just examples and the point is G RR Martin had nothing but time to work on his story. This is a company with other priorities so it would be easier to sacrifice a few people for something that would be that big.
