I need an hour long documentary on this.
yes pls
i would pay for some hours of riot games history documentary... I love this videos
Or two
i want a documentary on how they made teemo. must have been the darkest day ever
yes please
Rakan: "I love you"
Xayah: "I know"
Rakan: "I LOVE YOU"
Xayah: "I KNOW"
“we tend to really draw from our personal lives“ soooo... who was the creater of amumu? :P
Crystalphoenix Made my day bro! :))
And vel koz
LOL
I’ll do you one better, Teemo
Drawing from personal experience is drawing from your visual library because what you see is what you draw or when you take experience or ideas from real life your adding to your visual library that's how people develop styles through the different ways people look at things as well as the different things they have seen and that's awesome might I add
2:47 bless this guy for making one of the most unique champion designs and still i think Kindred was his best creation yet
I legit was sad when it ended. Need more of such documentaries
JK HighLight for weekly BTS stuff, check the game "star citizen".
Space sim MMO crowd funded to like 600million USD 4 years ago, closing in on alpha 3.0 atm, the "around the verse" series is a fascinating look at triple a game development and the processes behind it.
JK HighLight omfg you're here!!!
all those people are just low salary slaves that will add more
unnecesary BULLS***t to the game.. URF should be back. League of Legeds
is the sh*tiest copy of DOTA that
copied warcraft . League used to be decent or Good when they created
URF. who ever gave the idea of URF should get an adware of making URF a legendary good game in past.
who ever gave the idea or ARURF should get their family and loved ones tortured and sacrificed alive fr.
they ruined the game with ARURF and baning urf from Game. because
they wanted too promote the most mediocre dumbasz new game modes which
were boring asf. anyway. LoL is crap. even 300Heroes or Heroes 300 the
chinese copy of LoL is better than the actual LoL. i hope they bring
back URF permanent otherwise they will bankrupt and the game will be
like DOTA 1. cause its already dying slowly.
@@jesusisrussian7059 youre a little too agressive for a video game
Videos like this make me wanna be a concept artist.
Same
Same
They tend to always show just art in stuff like this, wish they would show something on the programming side for once
"we dont have true lovers in league of legends"
rip all ships ever
basically they are right with that. There are no official relationships like Xayah and Rakan. Just speculations :p
What about Garen and Kata
what about Ezreal and Lux wtf?
Harry In Lux vo she states that she actually never even met ezreal...so rip Lux x Ez
What about Ezreal and Taric?
Rioters are so passionate about the game, I love seeing what happens behind the scenes ❤
lol they hide some shits tho just read the notice of former interns xd
And then comes seraphine
Well not anymore after I saw viego seraphine and gwen
@@kumihoes but arcane though!
@@bappojujubes981 arcane is probably the best thing that ever happened to league! Can't wait to watch it 😍
"I love you" + "I know"
I'm so proud of you Riot.
"based on our experiences"
damn
Still my fave champions to play
That came from Star Wars.
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?
Yessss LOL
toooo deep
Two years now, Liam, Hows it going?
Liam Rust reading this makes me more understand why kai'sa is my main.
All of this and then they release Zoe and Qiyana
@@spectrobit5554 who are they to broke for the game
The Void. *cough*
Necrit lol
Necrit lmao true
Necrit Void op op
agree Necrit
Watchers?
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.
tell that off camera and I'm not the only one remembering when riot low classed and abused there female workers. I may not happening anymore, but other things can happen, plus in the end of the story it's still business same as disney
Jason Sunleaf Doesn’t mean we can’t like Disney movies and it doesn’t mean we can’t like the things Riot makes

Have you ever walked on the street and just saw the aspect of beauty walking on the street ?
The story of Urgot~
please more behind the Scenes footage
u like those fuckers that much? have u ever seen birds have intercourse? =/
wut lol
We need a champion, that gets stronger when an enemy kills an ally near by.
this is encouraging feeding lol
@lil dump the point being that people feed regardless.
Naruto
This would be nice if you had a supp that actually goes frenzy when his carry dies and turns into an assasin for a brief period of time. I would go for that. Should i kill the ADC first or the Support?
I have this passive idea when you get an assist/kill.
the people who helped you with it get healed.

"3:10 What you don't want to end up with is generic characters that don't feel real and don't feel like they live and breath somewhere. " that sentence really didn't age well.
Who said: Bard, Ekko, Kindred, Aurelion Sol, Ivern ? Most innovative (mechanics) champs in game!
MrValgard i would even throw in the most interesting characters too. personality wise.
@@JazzymineA "most" would be strong statement, when there are so many vibrant personalities in the game, meanwhile the gameplay aspect is quite obvious.
Literally best designer champs in league
Its Christopher Campbell that started to work on a new crypto League with other 10+ years Riot veterans. Game is called Edenbrawl ;) they joined recently
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?
4:53 has a character literally called "Rito" this is why we love riot
Omg didn't even notice that hahahahah xD
@3:07 "what you don't wanna end up with is generic characters that don't feel real..." - Seraphine is exactly that
She feels real though. But that does not change the fact that the way she feels real, is like a real tik tok or instagram persona - basically a fake human being that adds nothing to the world, and is blindly followed by others.
>She's wearing a Kindred hoodie
>I want that kindred hoodie
pls
Dayum, rekt
“Are the players gonna fall in love with it” just give every character a all out kda skin and make them hot that will happen
Literally i feel like champs are becoming less unique, and for some reason more sexy-looking.
For example, im not happy with the Mundo rework at all. I miss his character.
7:26 "..almost to the point of desaster."
*shows picture of Teemo*
wp Rito
I find Xayah and Rakan the best champions of 2017 by far!
Gianni Coorman they're both trash in 2018.
@@notsolegalciv2761 he meant the design not their balancing..
shunjaa jija okay then
whoever said they did mundo, thresh, nocturne, and fiddle has been there for a long ass time!
ahaha
Dan100 sounds depressed too like his other ideas that he liked more were thrown in the gutter.
I thought so aswell :D
Till now Fiddle is my favourite hero even though i dont play league of legends. I just love his design.
Kayn looks amazing, I think it's the first champion I'll save IP to buy the first day he comes out on the live servers.
Good Job Riot with the transform, I like how you can go tank or assasin, which can help if your team needs an extra tank who can burst other tanks. Amazing Champion, Thank You.
Bless you rito ♥ Thanks for putting my drawing on this video.
The whole video is amazing, inspiring and just brilliant!
WANDAKUN which one is your drawing?
The last one! It appears at 8:22 ^^

"my character become angry because someone killed them, not because they die"
that's pyke isn't it?
Absolutely amazing to see some of the insides of development. You have no idea how much this drives me to go and become part of a team like this. Riot, you can expect an from me application in 3-4 years.
The Impish Dullahan Let's not hope they continue on to spread their cancer that long okay bud?
I think someone's mad that their main got nerfed.
I feel the same way. ｡ﾟ.(*♡´◡` 人´◡` ♡*)ﾟ °・ I love how much work they put into their game and characters. It is my dream too! I wish you to get to your objective! And Xayah and Rakan are two of my favorites champions, I'm happy to see them in the video!
This is amazing, please everytime you make a new champion make these backscenes.
?I'm just wondering where is the guy who made Yasuo
He got fired
He was actually old guy so he retired
CertainlyT? Lmao
THIS IS WHY I LOVE RIOT!!!! FOR THE WORK THEY DOING FOR US
hahahahaha
Y'all ok? Nothing what he said was that funny
( I don't respond to notifications so go wild)
hahahahahahhahahahah really? hahahahahahahahhahahaha
hahahahaha hilarious, just hilarious hahahhahahahah
Rumen They do it for money ;_;
honestly, that piano at the end..... Riot has such an amazing music team. If you think about it, almost all league players like metal or pop or EDM and they are able to bring classic music to the game and everyone loves it
I must say that I still searching for this song, I don't think it's theirs
It's actually amazing - what goes on behind the scenes!
Not really.
Why not?
IKR the amount of work they put into it is awesome
This is, by far, the best part about the champions. I certainly wouldn't mind a series of start to finish creation for all of them
i looove this Video! really impresses my how passionate these people work on lol. I play Lol since two years and enjoy it almost everyday. it also inspires me a lot to draw and create stuff. I love seeing concepts and the development of a new champion. My biggest dream would be to work at riot as an Illustrator or concept artist. however i know i'm not very good at drawing yet but i constantly work on it. So thanks for inspiring me and make such a great gaming experience possible!
inspired on the game design but not the community XD
exactly.
Hanna Tari I'm not good at drawing but I'm creating good stuff inspired by lol champions. I want to work as an riot concept or artist because of the magic I find in every champion
Good luck ^^
Crystal Huang thank you!
League of Legends players moslty think about the balance team and the patch notes, and they ignore the artists and designers and all the hard work they put into this game. The songs are awesome, the splash arts are outstanding, the personality of the champions is great, i'm happy we can look the behind the scenes of the riot office, thank you Riot Games.
I really thought it was like one of the producers said where someone has an idea for a champ and suddenly its just done, the amount of indepth work, research, and time that's put into these champions is insane, and this amount of love can be hard to find in a lot of competitive gaming companies that tend to churn stuff out for profit. this is truly wonderful~ i love leaggguee
I just want to say thank you for making Xayah. She is my all time favorite and main reason I have stayed. Without her, I probably wouldve stopped playing immediately but it just so happened that she was a free champ before i logged out. I cannot express how much I love her
This feels like a Kickstarter commercial
Apilock Amazing at first look, absolutely terrible afterward
I love this video so much, it just inspires and motivates me even more to become a concept artist, the dream job i really hope with all my heart i will get later. Literally thinking about designing a character makes me so exited and lets my creativity come out already, let's just hope i'll actually get that far in life later.
this makes me wanna work at riot
yeah, cuz its easy.
Same tbh
Arturs Dāvids "That's easy" Lol, you are funny 😅
Cool. But you are an idiot.
Arturs Dāvids yeaa ikr, said a guy who thinks that working in one of the top developing games, is easy 😂
For real, this might sound sooo strange, but I LOVE Nunu! Not only his more or less simple plaxstyle, but the friendship between him and Willump! His lore and everything! If someone from riot sees this who had something to do with Nunu, you just inspired me to learn drawing to draw as much pics from nunu as possible, League of Legends is not only a great game for me, but an inspiration!
Something scribbled on a napkin can become something in a videogame is so amazing
The concept of Yasuo must have come out from used toilet paper...
Paul Nossent he is the shit. ba dum tss
Paul Nossent you mean teemo?
Ash Ketchum teemo was drawn on an abortion then offered to satan.
he was pleased.
Trivia: did u know teemo is his nickname.
his birth name is beezelbub
Blood0cean This is true. I main teemo
HAHAHAHHA U KILED ME AHHAHAHA HELL YEAAH
That's why I love league of legends... I even cry while seeing this. Thank You!
I truly enjoy seeing people work on champions like this.
I dream of doing this one day, and it's great to see at least a portion of what you guys do in the background.
Thanks for your art and your game rito
>"We're not making a character for an immediate splash, we're making a character forever"
>a few years later release Seraphine just to put her in K/DA
The most important thing is making sure that every champion has a 3 hit passive
My dream is to be an artist for a game
Keep going youll get there! :D
😜😎👌👌👌💛🐼
Sameu uwu
Thank you, Riot.
Every time i see videos like this, I can tell that is really are what I wanna do with my life, i wanna create characters that received life by your players, I think that is the best feeling in the world for a character design, for a concept artist, and this is what i wanna do. Thank you for the inspiration and the amazing game!

"They do different things with them"
Pretty sure these guys have seen tons of LoL hentai
So beautiful I teared up
Wow I found it so cute when they were asking themselves "What is love?"
Thinking about things that are common can be so difficult. We forget what is important and in the same moment realize what makes it special. If you think about common things more carefully, it could lead to creativity
MORE VIDEOS LIKE THIS! So great and immersive! Love!
Seeing the development of champions is just one of the coolest things ever, I swear
One very serious question: 05:35
05:35 look at the model on the left side.... THAT.
Why is the graphic not at that level in-game?! He looks one million times more beautiful as that level of graphic, if this could be done to all the champs it would be insane. I'm not saying the current graphics in-game looks ugly, but looking at that model at 03:35 just really made me say "wow, that looks amazing"
idk, looks like concept art to me. They have shadows, I know, I know.
But the head is basically the same placed in different positions.
Yeah, it's concept art. Doing something this quality in-game would just be too hard for most machines to run and it just doesn't"t make sense since the game is played so far away from the models.
Yeah, this is why 2D images are still used. Waaaaaaayyyyy faster, cheaper, and easier to make them look beautiful than 3D.
Jhins old design is sick, they should make it a skin
You know what league lacks? A champion who loves and appreciates everything around him /her and does everything to preserve it. He/She would love dancing, fighting with allies, a majestic sunset above summoner's rift, the monstrosity that is Baron Nashor, music, love, he or she would feel empathy, would remember every fight as a precious lesson even if it's a loss. You know. That champion would appreciate and love everything and in the lore he or she would like to make every nation being friends with each other. It all sounds so fake but this is a fantasy game after all. I just love every aspect of this game and i would like to play a champion that feels the same way i feel.
I love every champion for a different reason, i love the lore behind league, every item seems to have such a deep story behind it, summoner's rift is full of life and i like every game i play no matter the result. I continue to play this game for 6 years now and i do it not because i wanna be the best but because i am in love with it.
PlayBoy Pikachu But Braum loves pretty much everything. He protects all creatures and is pretty much the single nicest person in the game.
PlayBoy Pikachu. ehem IVERN
I dont think ivern or braum love the heat of the battle when they fight with their allies. Love battle to a point where they are happy they slay enemies but they are still peacefull inside knowing this is the right thing to do.
PlayBoy Pikachu so u want them to make charles manson in the game.... great
Blood0cean you got it all wrong..
I really like the champions you produced before 2017, Kled, Jhin, illaoi....they changed how I play the game completely, cause they are unique, they can do things no one else can do, and their personalities are also really creative.
To Riot and it's personnel:
You guys and gals did an amazing, truly amazing game and universe. And how you visualize them and bring them to life is a accomplishment I think you all must relish for all of your life. You inspired people to make their own stories (one of them being me), you made a world in which ours can relate, and how you people create such a well written fictional universe/storyline/setting was outstanding! Words may not be enough to express how much of a great job you people did to make something like this. This comes from a player who gives his appreciation and respects to your wonderful works. Keep growing Riot!
Whoever made Nautilus, thanks. I love him and main him as support :)
I think the concept of teemo came out when one of them step on a shit.
nope, teemo came out when they looked at art, becuz teemo 4 lyfe
The League of Legends artistic team is absolutely on point...
Now we just need to fire everyone in the balance team to make this game perfect.
LOL
2:58
Secret Reveal
Jhin is actually an alien.
LOVE the background music on this, the moldau is such a touching piece of music and paired perfectly with the "journey" of the champion designs
You want to know what lve is?? Love is like throwing your support on 5 enemies so that the adc can escape. (lot of sacrifice)
I might look stupid but I hope someone felt the same way I did... I mean I got emotional watching this as I do when I watch any other riot documentary. The work done here is incredible!
yeah we love xayah and rakan especially when they are on the enemy team and. we get oneshot.
Hey guys thanks for selecting the background music for this video - composed by Bedrich Smetana. It is my personal birth-city anthem :-)
Music: "Die Moldau"
(If you want to know..)
I was looking for this comment! Thanks!
this is why i love league of legends. a game that makes the players feel connected to the characters. when other esports games are mostly just games for tryhards, LoL is basically a game for nerds who wants to "feel" the connection with the game itself. it could've been something like Lord of The Ring fanbase if Riot Games wanna do more like releasing books and make movie out of the game.
Riot, if you wanna make a movie out of it, please make a GREAT one.
you NEED to make a 40+ min documentary on this! Its so interesting seeing how you guys work
SUPER triggered at the guy wearing the Razer Krakens BACKWARDS at 2:53 lol
I just watched this now and I'm really inspired cause I took multimedia arts track even though I'm only in high school right now I wanna grow up like these guys, they have passion for what they do
i don't think they realize how brokenly op xayah is
Xayah and Rakan was the best thing Riot ever did imo.
I honestly felt so connected on how they described Xayah.
That was was amazing.
Thank you for creating them, they belong now with Perkz and Mikyx.
This is so cool.
But hey Riot? What about a Vel'koz Meatball/spaghetti skin, i know you recently gave me the deep sea nami skin that i needed for ages. But this Velk'koz skin would make everything complete.
Not to mention an ambulance/nurse Soraka skin. teeheehee :)
Okay but we need MORE of this
Am I the only one who gets a pervy feeling from Rakan?
JIRAYA
And in this case, you've opened up so much more than just them. Because of these two, an entire race is born. One with members we've apparently already met (Ahri, Nami, Rengar) as evidence by interactions. And yet, that shift feels believable, and not a problem. It's done that well.
"players are our judge" "the players own them" - we want to delete yasuo/teemo etc . . . still there.
PrinceXII why yasuo? its the only fun character they have had in the past 5 years who has been nerfed out of existence
Blood0cean hes still cancer, they need to nerf that double crit passive
if riot delete yasuo, their hq will be burned down
if riot deletes teemo, we teemo mains will do a ritual that causes every single ppl who worked in riot to die of cancer, hiv and mushroom poisoning
Onyx Kiri lmao I
you can see everyone's style, especially from the champions they've worked on
3:06 oh like *seraphine*
Watching these videos makes me really wanna be a concept artist at Riot someday
This is fantastic, praise to the designer gods!!!! These guys do exactly what they beside and have designed factions and character that resonate with "MY" Personality and soul. Awesome feed me MORE!!!
how about increasing the IP rewards so we can actually buy those champions
IronHideIII they do it for the money lol. Higher priced champs=spending money on rp.
I know but still its so annoying... i have my account for 3 years playing 2-3 on daily basis but still i have around 65-70% of the champion pool
@@ironhideiii2261 they do it like 6-10 games a day
i have them all .. already i know its 1 year already when dis comment is posted..
@@lastsummer3675 I just got my last champion few weeks ago xD
Yeah, because like... who needs a salary?
I really enjoy this. It's so cool to see the process that these talented people to go through to get the final product. I would really like to see this process compared to itself across multiple champions, what does it look like when you don't immediately agree on the idea of them being lovers, etc. I'm sure there's no real fighting but I'd like to see how the group comes to those decisions. In the best possible way, thanks Riot!
I love how their design philosophy is so fluid.
this is why working on riot and develop cheracter is my dream, because i rly love the way you work and i imagine myself working in ther with a lot of designers and concept artists and cheracting designers, you all put so much love in all the ideas and chempions you guys create, i realy want to be a part of this family... thas why im working realy hard to leran design to learn cheracting desgin and concept art... i still have a lot to lern and practice!!!!
rito pls nerf yasuo
Rocka Pwtrut don't you mean buff?
Thank you for the encouragement! Videogame Design student here, this video just filled me with determination :D
4:44 - Sounds like my farts...
😂😂😂😂
I'm also imagining things like creating a champs by my own...i want it to draw but im so bad in drawings...my grammar is also bad... But i love doing it...it makes energize doing it... i really love league of legends because of their champs, it is my inspiration to create something and i like it🥰😍
good, keep drawing, keep writing
Riot in 2020: *what about mashing up 10 years old champs to create annoying new ones?*
From now on, im starting to aprecciate new champions WAYYYYYY more, that what they do in there to give us a new thing is just crazy hard.
