Suggestion for Riot to make an animated movie based on the league lore. With how big league is, it seems like an easy win-win for both Riot and all its players. What league player wouldnt watch that?

Alright, sure. But which lore? Cait, Vi, Jinx's lore? Taliyah's lore? Ancient Shurmian lore? Current Shuriman lore? The ninja's lore? Ezreal's lore? The Freljord lore? Maybe Fizz's lore? Bligewater's lore? Shadow Isles lore? Kass/Malz lore? Noxus/Demacia lore? Zilean lore? Void lore?

It's easy to say "make a movie!" but no one ever says which one. And even if they did decide on one story, every player who was a fan of a different story line would feel left out. A better suggestion would be to make a series of novels, that way everyone could be happy with what was presented because all of it could be presented.

It takes about 3-4 years to make an animated movie. Will people still be interested by then? Will the lore have changed? Will people want to watch the first story they choose to make it about? Or the third? If the first fails, why should they make another?

Suggestion: instead of a bunch of movies, maybe animated shorts or an anime. Cheaper to make, easier to fund, requires less commitment. Plus we get the animated lore we want to see.

Make the movie about an as yet unreleased character and release the character when the movie comes out.

That's a gamble in and of itself. What if people don't like or have no interest in this new character? Also, Riot doesn't like to tease a champion they plan on releasing for too long because it tends to make the playerbase upset or apathetic by time it's revealed. Making an animated movie would basically be 3-4 years of teasing a new champion.

There's so many different options to go with. A series could be good if each individuals lore is to be gone more into depth. A movie could be good to keep it just Noxus/Demacia based lore. Even parodys mixed in to go with their skins would be good. Maybe the pool party skins are just hanging around taking a dip where they get interrupted starting one of the battles.

That's what I'm saying. There are too many options to just pick one and roll with it. A series of animated shorts or an anime would make more sense if you really want something to watch instead of read it. Personally still a fan of novels, but I'll take whatever I'm given I suppose.
