Story mode in League of Legends

Here is a good idea...story mode in League of Legends! I know what many people will say about it, but hear me out. First of riot can make 5 story missions per champions and before you start them it shows a cinematic of how that champion came to be that champion. Also, they can add that once you finish a champions story you get to play that champion free for 3-5 days depending how well you did in his/her story mode and for finishing a story you get 600 ip depending on the difficulty. The selection will also be whatever you want so you don't have to play through five champions just to get to the one you wanted to play as you can just pick the story you want to play and after you beat all story modes you get a prize like a skin or something. I have asked friends and they agree it would be a good addition to the game and also it will gain you experience with champions you have never used before. Please post comments and feedback about this suggestion thanks!!!

I think you have to restrict how many stories can be done in a certain time period and you'd have to own the champion to do the story sounds like fun but riot won't just give away free shit unless it's uber difficult like 1/100 actually get it they do need to make money to pay employees to listen to all the qqs and fix all the bugs balance all the champs

Also riot should add a star system so if you get three stars on a champions whole five missions you get an exclusive skin for that champion for beating the missions. Please leave feedback

This is really cool, but would you play against bots as your champion or could you have friends on your team (for example Garen , Lux , Vayne Sona ,XinZhao as you and your friends/you and bots and the other team as noxian champs controlled by either bots or other players?

I think a story mode is fine, but having it per champion is a bit much. I don't think there would be any issue with IP farming. Simply tie IP to the game clock and there is no real issue. People don't need an IP bonus for a PVE story mode, and I can't see awarding First Win of the Day for this.

Also a lot of champions have stories that overlap. The Ionia/Noxus event, for instance, involved dozens of champions. There could be a Piltover map where Caitlyn, Vi and Jayce are thwarting the latest antics of Jinx allied with Mundo and Viktor. Sort of like a Twisted Treeline with alleys and streets. Whom you play as would depend on champions owned and the free rotation.

The same Piltover map could be used for other heroes like Orianna, though with slightly different intros to the battle.

A Shurima map could be used for the origins of Cassiopeia with Sivir and how they unleashed Renekton which forced Nasus to act. That could easily become a 3x3 with a little tweaking of Xerath and Azir.

So many ideas, so little resources.

I would say the big thing is I don't see the "value" in providing such a mode for free. These maps would take quite a bit of time to make, even if Riot tried to reuse maps for multiple champions. Perhaps sell them as a character bundle with map that is strictly RP (like skins). Naturally the RP value would diminish with characters owned, but you get the idea. Or... the RP value stays the same because each champion is reskinned for this bundle.

Bottom line is if you want cool things like this to happen, there is going to be some cost involved. And if you love the champion, it will be worth it.

This would be a really cool idea. But it would be hell for Rito to make. There are 124 champions in the game. 5 story missions per champion would be 620 stages. Having that many stages would either take years, or lead to small or badly designed stages. The cinematics would also be hell to make because, once again, there are 124 champions. Also, this adds to things Rito needs to do when making a new champion.

Also, the rewards are kinda crappy. Maybe make it so you can only use champions you own, and beating the mode gives IP regularly, but a skin for that character if you do something special or do really well.

What would you DO though? League's a MOBA, I've never played a single-player game remotely close to League.

Reading the thread I'm seeing talk of what I would call "scenarios" if anyone has ever played Rise of Nations. Basically an extremely custom match, custom objectives, custom starting load-outs. Ehhh... Customizable games first please <3 (Chrome is telling me Customizable isn't a word.. Da fuck)
