@Riot, why are you killing the lore...

You ended the JoJ, that's fine. But why are certain champs lore getting shortened for the Shurima patch? Why is this the direction of lore? Lore is what brought me to this game, not that silly e-sports. And I just want to say that I looked at your passed lore efforts and they were a lot better than they are now. Now It seems like people in Riot have just declared lore as a hindrance, until you get enough complaints about it. Then you just make it shorter, With out any one from this secretive lore team you have to explain things or what your plans are for lore. Players were really excited about things like the incidents that happened at kalamanda, but seeing how skarner is no longer from there, and it seems to have gotten swallowed by sand somehow, kalamanda is becoming no longer canon. Again, you did this with out explaining anything. You know, you shouldn't devalue you fans. I'm sure if players start requesting more changes for champs like Lucian shooting faster or can we having "moar" tournaments you guys with act without hesitation. But, you wont even give us a straight answer about lore, no matter how many threads there have been made in Lore Discussion( Seeing how no one goes and check on the place.) And each time some one made it here on "boards" theres never nothing solid. I'm simply saying Riot that I( as well as many others) am disappointed. To explain anything else, just visit lore discussion, I'm sure you will really see what I am talking about.

I miss seeing their memories flash back when they get judged for the league. I think this is a defining factor for League of Legends against other MMORPGS. Guild Wars has an immersive PvP system with elo, but they also heavily emphasize lore for their story.

League excels in the creation and array of their champions for unique and personalized playstyles. It has the game-play, but I'm sure hiring a writer to do more story wouldn't hurt.

Well the thing is league is a MOBA game, but Riot has gave it such an interesting story that it actaully attracts a lot of players. But they dont try to keep lore up and neat like an old shelf in ur basement. Nowadays, its e-sports this, VU here and there, Championships, tournaments, etc. And when fans complain about lore its such a drag. Riot now Just wants to make LoL just a moba game, with nun else/ I read their judgements too. I liked them, why is it so hard to continue stuff like this?...Its just stories... What use is it to have a lore team if they dont do anything

I liked them too. And I like having a lore team like having Lissasndra really fed and have an Ashe, she and her team get a quest to kill her for the freljord.
