Hi Reddit!
We’re a team of Rioters that design Champions for League of Legends. To Celebrate League’s 10 year anniversary we thought it would be fun to talk about the Champion design process and create a Champion concept with you all in real-time.
Participants:
Statikk, u/RiotStatikk - Game Design
Riot Earp - u/Riot__Earp, Concept Art
Carnival Knights, u/RiotCarnivalKnights - Narrative
Skiptomyluo, u/skiptomyluo - Narrative
Riot Wilkingham, u/Wilkingham - Narrative Editor
Jellbug, u/Jellbug - Narrative Writer
LeighAmethyst- Voiceover Producer
JohnODyin - Narrative Writer
This is all just for fun and there shouldn’t be any expectation that what we create together ends up in League of Legends. With that being said, RiotAttorney has asked us to include the following disclaimer:
“By submitting ideas you agree that we can use this idea/content for any purpose -- including eventually creating something that we sell -- without any legal obligation to credit or compensate you.”
So now that that’s out of the way -- Let’s start with this prompt (and we’ll add more below):
1) “Our champion wants ________ more than anything in the world.”
"Our champion wants to paint the perfect painting more than anything in the world." - u/Delos-X
"It would be interesting a champion whose skill kit revolves around paint buckets. His passive would be buckets he carry around and use it to change his paint brush color, changing his abilities.
While he is carrying the buckets, his move speed decreases, and he can place the buckets somewhere to walk in normal speed again and have to go back where he placed the buckets to change the brush color." - u/lucasrattz
We like this high level concept of paint and buckets, we're merging these ideas together to start this champion off. Our next prompt is:
2) "Our champion thinks that _____ is evil and _____ is good."
