We have a thread dedicated to discussing Warcraft as an RPG, why not League of Legends as well?
Here's a rough time line of the game universe: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/so3Em891-a-look-at-the-how-the-timeline-of-runeterra-and-the-league-universe-might-work-no-promises-though

Well, the setting is almost not defined and rather generic, just existing as an excuse to have every high/low/dark fantasy, steampunk and whatever other subgenre league characters fit into in the same game.
That beeing said, especially the never writing they started doing helps flesh out the world a good bit and might help to do some coherent and atmospheric adventure.
I can see it working with each plot arc having a strong theme depending on the region clashing with the most likely very mixed backgrounds party
>classic "medieval" stuff in Demacia/Noxus
>pirate shenanigans in Bilgewater
>hunting Void monsters around the globe
>archeology and pyramid dungeons in Shurima
>Example Party Consists of a Ninja, a Knight, some exotic Critter and any flavour of Yordle
It has a very lighthearted and crazy awesome tone to it, so I'd advise against gritty and dangerous systems.
Speaking of System: it would be rather hard to do with something preexisting i guess, especially if one wishes to be true to the source where every character is somewhat simple yet unique in their capabilities.
It might require so much homebrewing that something new might be just as much work.
Might crunch more ideas later if this thread stays alive.
I don't like to play League anymore these days, but I'm always up for Worldbuilding and Gamedesign based on a template.

On one hand, given its somewhat generic setting and powerful heroes, I'm inclined to use DnD. On the other hand, fuck DnD.

3.PF has the required amount of diversity in terms of existing material, I agree.
But yeah, the only D&D I've ever been really comfortable with is 5e.
In terms of power diversity a Supers-System might work, but those often have to much of a superhero flavour to work for other genres.
My go to in that case would be Mutants&Masterminds 3e.
Otherwise I'm not to familiar with anything that might fit. My head screams Exalted, but I know next to nothing about that game, really.

Because if you're going to LoL rpg, just erp and be done with it. I'm not even saying this as a dismissal.Please summoner, come play with us...

I feel like it would need tactical rules, just because of the importance of placement.
