Riot should take LOL lore to a next level, comic?

Goldbera·Apr 18, 2017·7 votes·2,877 views

I am pretty confident that LOL has the richest lore in games of this category. I havent seen any other game that pays so much attention to the lore, designs of the characters and their skins, soundtracks, etc. Creating the LOL Universe was a great step forward, into expanding the LOL lore, however, I feel like that is not enough to present all the potential of it. I was positiley shocked about Camille comics and I do think comics, or maybe graphic novels are brilliant ways for Riot to expand LOL Lore. I am not sure all LOL fans would squirm in happiness to be bale to get something alike. Id love to have a graphic novel, or comics which could be about the stories of the champions, their relations with one another and about the factions they live in. I do hope one day Riot will consider this ^^

Lol i'm strarting to love these answers. In my little mind it means "We cannot confirm or deny this but, basically this is what we're gonna do and it's really motivating to now that this is something the community wants"

Riot did recently hire somebody to be their Senior Editor of Comics, so I feel they have the thought already in motion

Please take the following into consideration:

How frequent a release schedule are we talking about? Weekly, monthly, annual big book? Riot has a difficult time with schedules as it is, so expecting a high quality effort on a regular basis might not be the best thing from this company.
How many resources can Riot dedicate to this project? Every comic series has from six to twelve people working on it, from a writer to any number of artists, editors and other important tasks. And remember, while these people are working on the comic, they're not working on League.
What style of artwork do we want? Japanese manga, American comics, photo-realistic, "whatever best fits the story?" Not every artist can work in every style.
Which stories are we going to tell? Do we want the focus on what's currently being worked on or do we want to explore older or untold stories?
Who is the target audience? There are more non-English speakers who play League than those who do.

I'd love to see the occasional comic, but I'd also like to see just as much of an emphasis on "walls of text."

How frequent a release schedule are we talking about? Well, I do believe once a month would be pretty enough to have them created and not to make fans wait too long.
How many resources can Riot dedicate to this project? Here I am unable to give any answers, I think Riot would know it better...
What style of artwork do we want? There are online Camille comics and I just loved their style, so i think online free comics are the best way.
**Which stories are we going to tell? **I think LOL fans know a lot about bios of champions (through cinematics and just reading bios), so no need to tackle the basics of their stories. Camille's comics were just some story related to her that made us get to know her better. The comics could tackle the relations between champions and just stories of their on going life.
**Who is the target audience? **Well, I belive this is the most minor trouble - LOL content gets translated within hours, so I am sure if the comics are digital then they can be easily translated.
