Wait a minute there's Icecream in Runeterra

I was screwing around on the wiki and found out that Taliyahs favorite Ice cream flavor is rocky road. Where would one find ice cream in Runeterra? How does it get made? Is alistars girlfriend involved?

Morgana once owned her own bakery, Sinful Succulence. She would create a large variety of sweets like cookies, pastries and doughnuts. Blitzcrank had hosted his own dating service on the P.E.R.V. (I wish I could remember what it actually stood for.)

Those are old lore bits that aren't canon anymore.

Yet, they still mention that Blitzcrank had a dating service in the loading tips.

Some of those are out of date. It was a joke article in the JoJ, which was made non-canon with the update. Plus, they used past tense. That can still mean that he used to have one in the sense that at one point in teh game's history he had a dating service.

Eh, it was still a time when I feel the lore was overall better.

When everyone had a reason to fight or to ask for help from the summoners.

But see, now when tehy fight in the lore they'll have personal reasons. Before it was just them being in the league. Now that the game's non-canon, it frees them up to tell deeper stories that span an entire world, instead of focusing on whatever teh current controversy is and whatever teh champs are up to.

Well, no. See, they always had personal reasons to join the League before the Summoner Retcon.

Morg and Kayle wanted allies for their side of the war. Talon, Cassiopeia and Katarina wanted to find General Du Couteau. Miss Fortune wanted help finding the murderer of her parents.

And so on.

Coming up with 133 different reasons to be included in the League, while also providing opportunities for champion change and growth, was a lot. By cutting "reasons to be in the league", they can focus on "reasons this champ is out in the world doing stuff"

A good example would prolly be Taliyah, who is currently racing home to figure out what is going on. If she had to be in the league, what would she be doing? How can Azir be an emperor rebuilding his empire AND a fighter-for-hire at the IoW at the same time?

Take a look at Nauts lore - it's short, vague, and boring because he had to be given a reason to go to the IoW and play their game (punintentional) rather than be the titian of the depths he should be. Imagine what his story could be now that that limitation is removed - and I am eagerly awaiting his lore update once they figure out what they're doing with him.

Removing the IoW allows the world of runeterra to become bigger, for champions to be more diverse and have unique motivations that reflect their personalities. Can you see Xayah running to the (probably human) summoners at the IoW to spread her message/fight/civil rights movement thing?

I understand how they had to cut summoners to increase the growth of champions as individual characters with their own story. I wasn't contesting that.

I still liked how the old lore forced the characters to expose themselves.

I think we all know where Morgana got the milk needed for her sweets ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Served at the same restaurant as Kled's tacos.

AurelionSol brought the recipe here after he tricked the Targonians out of it as revenge for imprisoning him. The sacrifice of Lavian Brandy?

Ice cream and tacos? Best fictional world EVER.

But do they have taco-flavored ice cream?

FakeGravityApr 20, 20171 votes

given the amount of goat mentions by braum we know theres milk, and everything is possible with magic and hextech so, i bet is possible

There are quite a few traditional questions that must be asked in each champ's AMA

Favorite ice cream, smooth or chunky peanut butter and favorite pizza are the usual food ones Interesting bugs/glitches with abilities (Sion ulting Azir walls and bouncing off continuously is my favorite, followed by the orbiting warwicks) Scrapped abilities that didn't make it and why
