Riot you should consider letting the community help you make champions look better

I know you guys don't like doing plain VUs because the amount of work that you put into them compared to the actual feedback and profit is pretty slim, but there are SO MANY amazing artists, 3D Modelers, etc. out there that make such fantastic work purely for fun and I feel like they are a seriously wasted resource.

For example that Amumu VU that was put on here a couple days ago. Looks fucking gorgeous but now what? Amumu still looks like shit meanwhile there's this great looking Amumu VU out there wasting away in the files of the internet. I don't know about you but I've seen some dope ass skin concepts on the boards that i would LOVE to see in game.

You could hold competitions for taking new VUs. Literally free labor. I would do anything to redesign Vlad's model and particles myself. I know there's an issue in terms of making sure it fits your guys lore plan but seriously out of a ton of submissions there's gotta be ONE that feels like it fits what's in store for that champ. Hell, let us vote on it like with Illaoi's skin, or like the Dota 2 workshop where content creators can have their stuff translated into the game if enoug people like it.

Step 1: let fans do all your work Step 2: Profit???

There, Riot said they want to give Cait a visual update some day, because her miniskirt and all don't fit her personality.

I am so in love with that concept. [sg-janna]

I kinda understand that they can't just take the work of fans for their game, but damn.... that Amumu concept.... that Caitlyn concept.... it's really frustrating seeing all this stuff people created of what a champ could be, but from Riots side we have to wait several years for that stuff to happen....
