Why have the latest champions IN GAME lores been done so... lazily?

With the last two champions and the lores that were updated from the Shurima event, it seems like they didnt even try... Previous champs have a large page devoted to their lore along with a quote from them which lets you really get a feel for who they are, what they are doing in the league, and a general idea of their motives and personality. However since the Shurima were done so poorly. Which doesnt even make since because they wrote and came up with huge amounts of lore for Azir Cassiopeia Nasus Xerath Sivir Renekton and even Kalista but yet they didnt put ANY it in game. Xerath and Azir have a very rich back story that people would love to read and know but it is left out of the in game lore pages. Azir's in game lore is only two sentences.

I know they made the videos about the story and wrote them else were but not of it is carried over to in game. For new players or people who missed these videos they have no way of knowing the lores of these characters unless they seek it through outside sources. And some of it could have been done as easily as pressing copy paste. The lore that was created has been fantastic but I dont understand why it is being left out of the in game lore and have not been done like every other champion. I wish a Rioter would read this and respond but its unlikely, so any discussion is welcomed and encouraged.

I believe they are still fleshing it all out, but didn't want the eventually to be incorrect lore to be left in, so all we have are summaries. Once they finish re-writing the lore and fleshing it out, they'll put it in and you'll have your interesting story.

In-game? Do you mean in-client? They're not doing that anymore, for some reason or another. All the lores are going to be present on their own section on Riot's website. They're just having technical difficulties setting it up.

They're posting small lore pieces in the client, and longer ones will eventually be posted on the website. I don't know why they want to do it like that.
