Now, maybe I'm missing something.

But isn't it counter-productive to suggest an entire champion, complete with artwork, like some people are doing?

If they use it, then it reeks of plagiarism and then couldn't the person who claims he invented that champion cause problems for Riot, thus in a weird way preventing a fully-realized hero concept from ever getting used?

Or am I dead wrong?

Well if they did decide to use an idea they could easily ask the person to sign a release and credit them for concept/design. I believe that would be more than enough to satisfy most of the people who create these concepts and almost all legal situations arising from this.

Also, it's great way to vent some creativity and imagination about a game you're passionate about.

This is being discussed right now in the thread "What hero would you like to see" I suggested many champions with an included artwork...and they aren't protected by any kind of copyright. But they are just made to give the people an imagination how they COULD look like. They are just quick sketches, because I hate describing champions. It's relatively hard. And for me, my creations are just for inspiration. Nothing more

like i said in Therox's post, if the user who posted the champion IDEA i stress the word idea cuz thats all it merely is, States "i give full permission to Riot for use of my ideas without compensation" and i believe legally that should solve all problems =\ and also therox made a point they are not copyrighted

I think the main problem that the adjudicator mentioned was, that it's not as helpfull for the riot team as a small and simple suggestion. But an artwork can be a nice inspiration...dude, don't know how often I typed this word today O.o xD

Personally I don't think beta "Champion Feedback" is the place for these type of posts.(entire champion suggestions) There is a board crammed full of these in the open forums and I think that is where they should stay. These are not relevant to champion feedback unless you mean to say "I don't like any of the champions, use this one" I read my share of champion suggestions before I had access to the beta and some of them are interesting but I haven't read a single one on this board and I don't think I ever will. I don't think they are going to get any additional attention because they are in beta forum... post them where they belong please.

The way i see it i'm sure that someone who has actually played the game is in a better state to come up with ideas to be put in the game. On top of that, beta testers will be better able to help craft the ideas people such as therox have come up with having actually played the game and knowing whats missing, what fits with the game style/play etc. Also, I'm lazy and don't check forums outside of the beta ones =3

I'm sure the last thing riot is going to complain about is people being creative about champions in the champions feedback section. I mean really, hes not trolling or doing anything detrimental and hes trying his best to contribute to the community with his skills and ideas. I'm not saying i particularly agree with all his characters, but hes making an effort, hes not flaming anyone, he is taking on board peoples criticisms and constructive feedback and altering his designs in the best hopes of riot adopting one of his characters, and making it fun for the community to play in the wonderous game that is LoL.

Therox for president.

Omg...someone has a tissue? Thank you for these words.

To come back to the topic:
I can understand people complaining about the massive waves of champion suggestions. Everyone wants his champion to be looked at. Everyone has the intention that his work will be integrated in any way. But that's the problem. Riot has many things to look for, like inner gameplay balance. They can't read through every new post regarding a new champion made by a forum user. But as Minaxter said, I'm just trying to be a part of the community by doing what I'm good at. Arts and having fantasy ;D And they are allowed to use, customize and change my ideas completely, so they fit into their game. But as I said, I won't expect that this will ever happen ^^
