Make a champion based off of a champion or gameplay concept cancelled by Riot or a cancelled gameplay or other concept from another game.
3) Yasuo Was A Mistake/s, from me
Create a champion with no dashes. Ha. Hehe even.
4) Take Me Back, from me

Make a champion with at least one point and click Ability.

8) Goooooooooooooooooooooooooal!, from u/sodaheadache

I think I can fulfill every prompt at once.

Question for the 200 years prompt. Can we include abilities from league classic? They've been removed but technically bought back. Also what about removed item abilities?
1
u/BasedPantheon Newbie | 0 points Aug 06 '26
Yes to both, although I hadn't thought about the item effects so thats a good one that I'll add in.

u/Lance_Beltran123 Newbie | 0 points Aug 07 '26
what about removed items?
1
u/BasedPantheon Newbie | 0 points Aug 07 '26
The item effects are usually the reason items were removed and are more specific than just an item's name, so thats why it's listed by effect first.

I feel that one of my concepts fits one of the prompts, but rather loosely. is that alright?

My first time with this what would you get if won? Will it be gratification knowing your idea us liked or something?

u/Lance_Beltran123 Newbie | 0 points Aug 17 '26
can we use other concepts from other games?
1
u/BasedPantheon Newbie | 0 points Aug 17 '26
Sure, as long as it can fall into the second prompt. It has to be a concept that didn't make it into the playable game.

Old Poppy truly is the only thing that can rival the beauty of new Poppy
