Theory on the Lore Retcon

A lot of people are mad about the fact that Riot is nixing the old lore. While I agree that the old lore is awesome and I'm going to miss it, there's a very important reason to start over: it makes no sense. Let's go A-Z, first reminding ourselves that the League exists to allow champions to fight for power for whichever faction they stand for as a replacement for war.

Aatrox Only there to spur on the fighting. Ahri Only there to steal champion's souls. Amumu Only there for friends. Annie Who knows? Brand Wants to engulf the world in flames... and confines himself to Summoner's Rift... Chogath Elise Hecarim Kalista Karthus KogMaw Kassadin Khazix Malzahar Maokai Mordekaiser RekSai Thresh Velkoz Yorick All there to sow chaos and destruction. Neither the Void nor the Shadow Isles needs representation. Fiddlesticks We know why he's there, but it isn't productive towards the League's purpose. Fizz Only there to troll. Gragas Trying to get crunk. Graves Trying to kill one of the champions. Jax Just wants to fight. Jinx Just wants to destroy. Kayle Wants to fight/kill another champion. Lucian Wants to kill other champions. MasterYi Looking for disciples of Wuju. Morgana Wants power and to kill another champion. Nasus Wants to fight for the Leauge... which isn't a faction... Nautilus Wants to take revenge on somebody. Nocturne There as punishment on behalf of the League... which still isn't a faction... Orianna There because she wants to be. Pantheon Trying to dismantle the League so that true war may resume. Rammus There to find other weird creatures to call friends (and didn't even befriend Amumu :[ ) Renekton There to kill another champion. Rengar There to kill champions. Ryze There to study the magic in League. Shaco They didn't even bother to ask why, just let him do as he pleases. Sivir Chasing a paycheck. Skarner Protecting... something... Soraka There to heal all the champions... what...? Syndra There for power. TahmKench There to eat the champs. Taric There to protect the champs. TwistedFate He's just there. If he's trying to rob someone, he's got his work cut out for him. Varus Revenge. Vayne Killing champions. Veigar Gaining power. Viktor Proving robots rock. Warwick Killing a champion. MonkeyKing Showing off his Wuju style. Xerath Trying to steal power from the League. Yasuo Trying to find someone and probably kill them. Zac Trying to fight evil in the League. Zed Finding more shadows to embrace? Zilean Trying to cure his disease. Zyra Idk, maybe she was originally from the Rift?

Half the champions in the League of Legends aren't there to fight for their faction, they're just there. What if in a UN meeting there was some demon clown trying to lift bans on nuclear warfare? It's completely nonsensical. It's great, and I love it, but it's still nonsensical.
