Uh...duh. Lore has been dead since like...Christ, Zac probably. Summoners, the League, and it's purpose have been quietly bring phased out of the game with visual and lore updates. LoL is going to just be about random fantasy characters fighting for no reason in an imaginary symmetric battlefield, you can pretty much forget about any "lore team" doing anything but collect a paycheck every 2 weeks.
Look at the lore for Gnar. Look at it. He was a caveman who was frozen in ice and now he's unfrozen. That's it. That's all. No character interaction, no VoiceOver, no personality, and he's the only new champ who'll be out for four months. If you think the lore team is doing anything resembling a job when you look at that , you're delusional.
