Communication, according to the Riot Lore Team

"Hello, This is Subliminal RiotLore.

We're sorry (not really) that we've been silent (ignoring) you these past few months (years), but we're going to try (not really) to communicate (lecture) to our fans (suckers).

We know (expect) that you're not happy (duh) about the removal of the League from the League of Legends but please understand (accept) that we're doing (forcing) this to improve the overall story (we're bad writers).

WE also feel sorry (HA HA FAT CHANCE) that we've not been talking (actively ignoring you from our ivory tower) to the lore fans (suckers), but we're really going to try (don't hold your breath) while to explain (preach) why we're doing what we're doing (making changes and not taking your thoughts into consideration).

That started with our Dev Blog (the thing we will be using instead of direct communication on the forums) and we will to reach out (with tiny T-Rex arms) as we move forward (do what we want and make you enjoy it).

Please continue to support us (suckers) as we develop (simplify) the wonderful story (music videos), characters (voice over easter eggs) and places (cinematics and character intro shorts) you've come to love about League (that was all lore, you silly plebs!)

Sincerely (not on your life),

Subliminal RiotLore"

In all seriousness, I hope this doesn't happen. Riot is a company that says they strive to be the best and I hope that attitude is reflected in the Lore team. But if the past is anything to consider, we'll be better off breathing and not waiting with anticipation.

RIOT: We retcon'd the lore so that we could do more with the story

Proceeds to do nothing with it for 8 months afterward and doesn't even change the bios of a huge amount of champions whose lores can't be taken as canon anymore

Yea, it´s really sad that they come out with something like this as a decission already made - not as sth. they want to discuss as an option.

If Ghostcrawler is serious about

One of the things that really infuses the workplace here is value that players are the most important thing, period. I am convinced that Rioters really believe that in their souls and we're pretty good about not hiring people who aren't bought into that value. If it has felt lately that we're putting ourselves up on a pedestal over you guys, then that's just a communication failure on our part. I love that aspect of Riot. We aren't the VIPs; you guys are. If you don't feel that way, then we're just going to have to work harder to convince you.

they would have to fire the entire lore departement, as this just is the complete opposite of "not putting onself on a pedestal and taking a dump on all the lore-fans out there".

So maybe the best solution is to do just that...fire the lore-departement and hire the factions-writers(http://leaguefactions.net/), as they don´t lack imagination to tell stories that go allong and are enhanced by the actual gameplay.
