Homage to League's Story

League of Legends is a very fun game, hands down. I honestly don't do ranked because as a fan I have favorites, so I only play for the fun and enjoyment of the Kits created. Often times, as fans we may not realize how deep but complex the game has gotten. Since Im probably older than the average league player I noticed that sometimes the basics are what keep the game going. The 450/1350 Champions of league to me are like Primary and Secondary colors, paving the way to an avenue of over 100 different champs. Anyway, lately, I've been more interested as to knowing:

Q: How does Doran look? (I'm guessing he is VERY important and is not an actual champ, but somewhat of a legend still. Maybe one of the item shop vendors) Q: Can someone list me Lores in Chronological Order? (I really like the Lores lol) Q: What happended to the journal of justice?

Doran We don't know what he looks like unfortunately. There are numerous references to him but that's it. AFAIK, he's not any of the shopkeepers.

Lore Order There isn't really an order for lore (at least not older lore). You could go here for a timeline and check lore in order of champion releases. Continuity was more of a thing while the JoJ existed but was lost for a while. More recent lore has more semblance of order while also being somewhat vague.

For example, Quinn was introduced and went on to Freljord to introduce Lissandra and the Freljord event. Not long after, we also get Braum who happens to be from the Freljord but it is unknown if he was present during the event or became involved afterward. We also don't know if things like the arrival of Jinx in Piltover and whatever is happening on the Shadow Isles are happening at the same or if they are now in the past.

It is probably safer to assume a bunch of things are happening at once and there is very little progression unless a the introduction of newer champion suggests otherwise.

JoJ I believe it was discontinued because the format didn't suit the broader audience Riot wanted the lore to appeal to.

Seriously? Nothing but 6300/10$ champions for 3 years?! Barrier To Entry, Riot, this is a thing! Do take it into consideration sometime, yeah? We need some damn price adjustments-for the cheaper-and soon.

Uh... what?

Sorry, I was just looking at that official timeline you linked. I noticed that every single champion made and released since November of 2011 has been at the highest price possible. It's kind of frustrating as someone with little income, and not enough time to grind 63,000 IP per month. It's off topic I know, just...gah.

Right, well then have a look at this.

That's a start, but it doesn't really feel like it's enough of a difference to me. They've been doing this since January 2012, and thus far only only 11 6300 champions have had their prices go down, and even then only by a small percentage. Personally, I think only the champions that were released between the start of 2013 and now should still be that expensive(these are Thresh Quinn Zac Lissandra Aatrox Lucian Jinx Yasuo Velkoz Braum and Gnar )Maybe if I was rolling in disposable income it would be enough, but I feel more and more inclined to pick up DotA 2 instead just because of the business practices of Riot. Both F2P, but you are definitely at a disadvantage in terms of diversity compared to a paying player in LoL, which hurts a lot more than some people realize. It just doesn't sit right with me. Oh well, guess I'm just miffed about nothing.
