Fixing the lore real quick (Fanfic kind of)

So I just recently got back into League after about 3 years and found out that the actual League in the League of Legends is now dead. I can't understand why the concept was removed instead of explained, so I'm going to fan-patch the lore for every champ made after the League was scrapped. I haven't read all of it so forgive me if I mess something up (correct me in the comments). I also couldn't find a proper date so I'm going to start from Braum on.

Summoning is a rather strange process. It requires 3 things: a knowledge of what you're trying to summon, the summoned thing to give consent to be summoned (just a league regulation, so Brand and Noctourne still have to fight), and a large amount of magic to channel. For knowledge, observation is best, but a detailed book can be just as useful in cases where observation is not a good idea (Kindred). Consent is given either vocally, for one-time work with a summoner, or written through a contract, as most champions do. The contract states that the summons can be used for combat in the League of Legends, and nothing else. Not making your fanfic real, not shipping Draven and Lux, not for killing and eating, then summoning again, nothing but combat in a league-regulated setting. As the Champions of the League need to be out and about in the world, what with Garen being a general, Poppy needing to find the hero, and Ashe being a diplomat or something, all summoned champions are magical, artificial clones of the champions actual properties. There are, similarly, real minions of both the blue and purple varieties, but only 1 of each is necessary for any given match.

Braum unfroze from the ice and had no freaking clue where he was or what he was doing. "I vas petting kitty when big cold lady throw me into lake." Ashe took him to the League, and he was accepted by 30 of the 32 judges. He signed his contract and is kept hidden and listed as "something our top summoners researched and succeeded in creating, much like Mr. Aatrox. It's not often you get a real legend in the League of Legends." Of course, both Aatrox and Braum actually exist, and are being kept in the League itself, Braum bodybuilding while Aatrox is kept partially sedated to weaken him. Braum occasionally actually goes out instead of a summoned clone, and he hasn't been killed yet. When the clones die, the shields fall on the corpses. The real Braum wouldn't let the door hit him on his way out.

I'll update this when I feel good enough to. Post your thoughts in the comments.

"You are brave hunter" the man said to me, noting my recent kill of a large wolf. He was very large and intimidating, but he had kept up with me all throughout this wasteland. It would be unwise to run away. He picked me up and placed me in his hands. They were massive, more than my size, maybe double. He held a door at his back, though I know not why. He kept calling me a "kitty" though I feel I am nothing of the sort. I am bipedal, first off, though I am very fuzzy. He is warm. He is soft... So very soft...

Cold. Very cold. I find myself on the beach of an island. This one is very different from the one I landed upon before. This one was warm and dotted with jungles and long-abandoned temples. I keep seeing this one floating one. It never seems to leave the surrounding area and I've only ever seen one person entering or leaving.

This cat keeps following me. I sense he is looking for a me, although he obviously hasn't figured that out yet, for I am small while he looks for large. He just stuck my boomerang in a tree. That was mine! I twitch, I pulsate, then I roar.

GNAR!

Excerpt from the journal of Rengar, immediately following his expedition to the southern jungles of Ionia:

I have filed a report with the Anthropology Division. Mr. Ezreal has taken a particular interest in this creature, though I expect it will end poorly. In related news, I have filed a report with the Summoning Division to find and recreate the beast. I'll need some particular practice before I slay the creature.
