Lore Revamp
Hello my name is Nick, as you may know quite a bit of champions lore's leave players asking questions, confused, and often negatively influenced because of it, for example a few champions like Vladimir and blitz-crank detail how exactly the joined the league of legends while other champs interact with each other and other just leave you scratching your head. some lore leave the player asking why do they fight what is their motivation? lore like Braum's Lucian's and Yasuo's answer that quite well and which is why they are recognized as the best out of all of them. it goes without saying that some champs lore's will better than others, it also goes without saying that some will connect with the players more. however none of them are wholly complete.
some also mention historical events like the rune wars yet it never specifies what the rune wars was or what its cause was or its effect or mark left in history. volibears mentions the ursine race, which it explains why the is a walking bear in electric harnessing armor but yet it doesn't explain itself! or in skarner's lore it just states that it is a crystalline monster that guards an unknown realm under the shuriman ruins. thats it...the end... it doesn't tell a story it doesn't describe what skarner's motivations is and quite frankly it could be so much better! it could interact with a shuriman explorer that he gaurds the realms of the unknown from. hmm i wonder if their a champ like that. maybe ezreal could fit the bill!you could have both skarners and ezreals lore interact i mean there is nothing they have anyways, ezreal goes to shurima and skarner defends shurima, there is the entirety of the plot right there, i'm not asking for a lord of the rings trilogy but all that it lacks is love and effort by the creators, i would be more than happy to do the job myself but i dont have the authority to do so.
ezreal the third grew up in a large city, his father, ezreal the second was a bartender. tall, stern and, burly. at this point ezreal was 17 becoming a man and his father always, every night half drunk covered in the vomit of others and a new bruise from fights with drunks would rant to his mother about he is a man now and he hasnt changed a bit since he was seven. " But look at that girlish figure! he would last a day inheriting my name! why couldnt you just have a girl instead she would be a better heir of the ezreal name for peats sake!"
ezreal never wanted to inhereit his fathers name, instead he wanted to be an explorer! discover the lands of the unknown , venture the frelord! or walk the tainted lands of Zaun! or surf the sands of the ancient ruins of Shurima.....
this night ezreal's father came home on que at 11 at night ready to create a fuss with him and his mother, as the giant burst through the small delopadated homes door, squeeling and screaming, sloppy drunk. " Look at ya! your such a wee little girl! you dont deserve my name! how dare you!" and like that the giant struck ezreal down without hesitation. for the first time his father ever came home drunk he beat him, ezreal never talked back he never said a word, but his first and last words ever to his father being " I DID'T ASK FOR YOUR NAME!" and he ran straight out the door in which his father broke.
he ran, he ran to catch his dream he didnt know where he was running but he had with him a peice of paper, and a set of pens. he could make a map! so just like that his adventure started. and sure enough, he found himself in the desert, not just any desert the shuriman ruins!
he felt empowered here like he somehow belonged here, maybe to rule, maybe to live , maybe to thrive. but for the first time in all his life he felt at home
so he made his living quarters in a small temple in the heart of the city he spent most of his time detailing maps and drawing luxaruis views of the city. but one night whilst he was sleeping he heard weird noises under him, far under him, almost as if it called to him. he felt the need as if it were life and death he found the source of this noise. he began throwing the baskets he collected from all over the city at the ground he took old priceless clay tablets holding ancient information on them and smashed them to the ground! one by one the all shattered. he took the rocks from the tablets he destroyed and smashed them against the ground, " I DID IT!! Yes i actually did it!" he opened a hole in the floor of the temple, large enough for light to pass through but nothing else. this wasnt good enough. he tryed and tryed to peer through hole but his head was in the way. there was nothing he could do and moonlight was running out, he had no other option but to widen the hole.
he ran throughout the city searching for anything big enough to smash the hole open but small enough for him to carry. he was astonished to find just how large the city actually was, he must have walked for hours and then he found the heart of the city, atop of a massive building a mystical disk, "its massive!! how could i have not seen this!?" a massive disk the size of the moon hovered over the city. it was absolutly encapsulating, he couldnt stop staring at it and for some reason he felt as if it was staring back. ever since he entered the city he didnt feel hungry or lonely but now that he saw the shurimian disk he felt better than he had ever felt in his life, he felt his very own essence empowered, he sprinted back to the temple, faster than he ran from his dad faster than he had ever moved in his life, he felt this archane shift in him as if he had gained powers!
as soon as he retunred from the temple there the hole was, undisturbed by time the moon light brighter than it ever was but he still couldnt see into the hole, upset by this he started smashing his body at the hole thrashing, and slashing and he stood over the hole and he shot energy at and with that. the floor collapsed in on him.
the entire temple out of view, no moon light, only complete darkness, he heard the sound again! and only louder than it ever was before, it was this mysterious humming this purple void like portal, that called to him. and from behind him and loud raspy ancient voice called to him "YOU WILL NEVER ESCAPE!" a mythical creature twisted by time named skarner leaped towards him, impaling him with a tail, ezreal from his left hand whipped the foul monster with all his might! shot after shot after shot! the monster was visibly in pain but while skarner dragged ezreal by his should with his tail closer and closer to the portal, the portals hums and voices grew louder and louder, his hair being sucked into the portal he gave it his all in a trueshot and the evil creature skarner dislodged his shoulder in pain, squealed in pain and and ran into the darkness of the empty room, without hesitation ezreal ran away. not only from the temple but the foul creatures that guard shurima
he has now joined the league of legends to not only find his true destiney, but to find what was truely speaking to him in shurima, and to fight any evil and one day he may be able to make his father proud.
that is a lore it gives a plot of why ezreal fights how he got there and what he wants to accomplish this took 20-40 minutes to create and their is really no excuse why every other champ has a lore that doesnt define their kit and the champ itself, this obviously isnt perfect but it encapsulates a personality and speaks to the kit of the champ. if any riot employee wishs to speak to me about redoing all other champs lore i would be more than happy to do it for free ( no commission ) please email me message on league or skype me at [email protected] A Skanky Skarner IGottaPee24865 (skype)
