Riot will not care whatever concept we wrote and post to them, I'm sure of it. The only time they will care is when you work for Riot as a staff. This also means whatever concept you post here or the official site's forums is only for leisure or academical purposes, do not wish for Riot to notice your concept, because they wouldn't implement it even if it's actually good (actually good concepts are so rare I can list all of them with just my fingers).

By the way, having no comments doesn't mean nobody read your concept. I know that because I receive private messages instead.

I have no idea what you're on about here, unless its a back handed snub, which would be entirely uncalled for. Hopefully I'm just reading that wrong.

As for the problem with no one reading, I can't receive feedback and improve my idea if no one even looks. If the feedback comes via private messages as opposed to comments, that's fine. However, no feedback makes for a pointless endeavor aside from self-serving posterity.

Nhan-Fiction's champion might never be used by Riot, but it has managed to cultivate a response and created an experience I'm fairly sure Nhan-Fiction is happy to have had. In the end, that's the important part.

You're probably right in that my idea isn't any greater than any others, Riot will probably ignore it since ideas are cheap, and its more or less a fools errand. However, what's the harm in trying?

Riot is a business, one that has blatantly stated they'd take ideas from the community and make use of them should they be good enough. If a champion concept gets a lot of traction in the forums, and offers a potential avenue for revenue, then they wouldn't ignore it out of hand.

Back on topic, ultimately a better space to trade and share ideas of this nature is a good thing, but I think we'd have to resort to, more or less, policing it for the mods by flagging any for review. Honestly, there'd have to be some sort of guidelines hammered out, though from what I know of wikis, guidelines are never in short supply. If that sentence offended you, my sincerest apologies since it's definitely not an attack of any sort.

But like I said, if nobody comments on mine or your concept, there can be several reasons: 1. It's not interesting. 2. Your concept got pushed by other concepts. 3. Too complex for people to bother comment on.

I believe everyone had that occasion too, no exceptions. Also, you could actually generate traffic with very bad designs, but that is something we usually don't want, correct?

And you're right, the main purpose of creating a good concept is for people to enjoy reading your creativity and design, while sharing thoughts with each other about kit issues and stat problems, indirectly allowing you to understand design reasoning in some actual champions (Like how Riven used to have high health regen compared to other champions with sustain).
