I mean have you seen their videos on released on champions and skins. and the lore's that they come up with for the champions are actually amazing.

if they did come up with a Netflix series based on every champ (one champ per 1 or 2 episodes) i think it would be very successful*[slayer-pantheon-popcorn]*

It would probably be awful tbh

They'd need millions and millions and millions of revenue to make this happen. Most of the money comes from constantly creating new champions and skins so people will cough up a liver to get the cosmetics. It's like, would you rather make millions a month or one 10 million in one year.

See the problem I have with the idea of a League movie/show is that the lore just doesn't lend itself to that kind of format. League does not have a singular story; it's a bunch of different stories happening in one world. There are so many possible conflicts and viewpoints to focus on that it's impossible to wrap it together into a single plotline. Like, say Lucian were chosen as the protagonist. The whole movie/show would revolve around his conflict with the Shadow Isles, and only characters who have been involved with that storyline (most undead champs, Illaoi, Miss Fortune, etc.) would make an appearance. Alternatively, you could make it about Nunu and Willump as they journey across the Freljord, and see how they contribute to the all the war and chaos going on in the tundra.

Simply put, there's too much to focus on for a single movie to cover, and 1-2 episodes of a TV show isn't nearly enough time to do a champion's tale justice. I don't deny it's POSSIBLE, but I think League just works better with the written/comic book format that it's gone with so far.

Maybe not on specific Lore but on the story of runeterra overall! A movie about the champions or conflict, the ineractions.. Its tricky but movies wouldnt be made if they werent profitable.. League is very popular and no doubt rhey wouldnt make a loss if a movies would be produced!
