I really like the new mode, its good to see that they made the crystal scar into something people play again (I was once an avid crystal scar player, it kept me from stop playing league cause normals at lower levels take a long time). I hope they keep it and add into the crystal scar stats. It would be nicer to have more shorter game modes (for those of us with limited time) or larger game modes with more people.

Also, I would like to see more icons associated with hard to do in-game objectives like a perfect game for Rift where you lose no towers, no dragon, no baron, and keep at least a 1:1 KDA ratio.

As far as the lore, personally I like the new lore but I would still like to see some elements of the old lore (being an older player). I don't get why they can't tie it into the "league". Or it would be nice if they a can make a historical chronicle section for the old lore (just to go back and enjoy the old stories). On a positive note I am excited to see what they do and add more of a story/personality to the characters as well as see where they delve further into the world.

Where did you get your inspiration? Not that it's a bad game mode (although some people believe that to be so). Why did you decide on the objective-oriented gameplay rather than kill or teamfight based?

Is the new simplified lore just a basic summary acting as a placeholder for an expanded in-depth story of the champions that are involved in the Shurima faction? I know you're highly capable of producing a well written story and you guys seem to have your hands full with pumping out Azir and his minions at the moment, so I get the feeling you've intentionally trolled us very well with the simplified "new" lore.
