Riot in 2017: Okay guys, we need a 100 person team working for over a year on a regimented design process to build a unique, thematic character who fits into the world and lore while serving a purpose in-game and identifying with a player base while also adding their own flair and gameplay mechanics to an already incredibly diverse experience.

Riot in 2009: What about an annoying little mushroom panda thing?

Wow I'm actually really impressed by the way this is so professional. This needs to be a full documentary about the design process. It would be awesome too cuz I know a lot of players that have been so impressed and fascinated by the character designs and art direction.

Everyone is shouting about abilities of some champions. Yet here i am still in love with LoL's lore and every backstory of a champion. Am i alone at this?

[MrValgard]

Who said: Bard, Ekko, Kindred, Aurelion Sol, Ivern ? Most innovative (mechanics) champs in game!

[mldanny]

We need a champion, that gets stronger when an enemy kills an ally near by.

[evasegod]

whoever said they did mundo, thresh, nocturne, and fiddle has been there for a long ass time!

[Mohammedaagh]
