A way for players to personally experience this game's lore.

I'd love it if Rito came up with little adventure series...es.... serieses.... series? Idk. The pieces are there, put them together.

For example, you get a buddy and queue up for a lore series. Someone plays Jarvan, someone plays shyvana, and you go through a storyline map of their quest to defeat Yvva.

Or maybe You play Shen and Zed, trying to hunt down Jhin.

Just some small little 20-30 minute thing that allows you to play through important story events. Do one every couple weeks. Maybe make a series out of it where a new part of the series gets released every friday for a whole month (The gangplank/TF/MF/Graves story would be GREAT for this.)

I think it'd be a great way to make the lore more accessible to players, and I think it'd be a lot of fun to see how Riot implements their stories in gameplay form.

It would be absolutely amazing if this happened, but it would also pull pretty much every single Riot team off of what they are working on now for well over a year.

It's a truly enormous undertaking not only because of the scope, but because Riot doesn't have anything already built to make this process easier on them. They are starting to get to the point where they can make respectable PvE content, but turning parts of the lore into a playable version is something else. It wouldn't just be new maps and gameplay, they would have to tell the story through both action and words.

I'd love it if they tried it, and I'd love it more if they pulled it off, but I don't blame them if they don't.

I couldn't agree more. With all of this.

I understand how hard it would be, but as you stated, I would LOVE to play these little mini games.

YES! Nasus & Renekton, Aurelion Sol, Diana, Leona, Kalista, Thresh, Shyvana, Warwick, Varus, Ashe, the list goes on and on and on in regards to the amazing characters and beautiful lore that Riot has created. Let's get a way to truly explore this, either through gameplay, or a 100% lore-based show on Netflix. No E-Sports anime, either. I mean a legit fantasy series based around Runeterra. BUT THAT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT THING THAN WHAT OP IS DISCUSSING. I know, I know. The OP is right, but hey while we're asking for the moon, why not throw in some stars too? AurelionSol

You mean "Nasus/Renekton/Sivir/Taliyah"

Azir is just the homeless dude on the corner of a slum in Shurima that tells everyone that walks by him "I WAS KING ONCE, YOU KNOW!" while smelling like unwiped ass and stale booze.

I prefer something more along the lines of "Azir is the emperor of Shurima that, in reality, does nothing"

You just have some weird creepy sand fetish. Name says it all.

Got a fancy for the super sand legend.

yeah but he has a sand soldier army man

BarkleyDec 10, 20171 votes

Have you ever once in your life been afraid of sand?

Mildly irritating, yes. Terrifying? Not really.

aurelion, leona, dianna and zoe would be a huge story line. probably be awesome to see and exprience but would be huge...after all it has been a millenium in the making. Didn't riot have little quests before. I remember when i first started playing being in a game where there was bonus xp if ashe and liss fought.

Personally experience lore? I don't really feel like being personally disintegrated...

You're right. I retract my idea. I RETRACT IT.

wouldn't kayne be mor involved in the shen/akali/kennen/zed saga ?

Blades in ExileDec 11, 20172 votes

I personally feel like Kayn has very little to do with Shen/Akali/Kennen except for the fact that hes Zed's apprentice, and they only made him Zed's apprentice so he has a character link with a current champion. Though for Wubbalubbadubdub's idea the players wouldn't have access to Kayn and instead get Rhaast from the beginning.

One superbuffed GP (pre-rework) vs MF TF and Graves

Duchess KatarinaDec 10, 20171 votes

I mean they have a little something like that already. I know in ARAM, if Liss, Sej or Ashe are on opposing teams, they battle for the crown. Kind of like the Kha/Reng one.

http://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Battle_for_Freljord (Apparently it's not just ARAM?)

But it would be nice to expand this to other areas! :)

Well, there is plenty of ways to experience it. There is even a fun and easy way to experience it yourself at home. First start with a dish you really like, then swap various aspects of said dish until eventually you have an entirely new dish. Then take a nice big bite and realize it isn't the same thing and judge whether it was better or worse than the original. Then finally come onto a forums website and argue with others about why it is or isn't. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

BarkleyDec 10, 20172 votes

I don't think that's quite as fun as wandering into a place uninvited, looking around, realizing everyone's smiling and having a great time, and in general agreement about a theme or idea, and thinking to myself "How can I completely kill this vibe? How can I lessen the enjoyment of everyone around me? People around here are just far to content and satisfied for my liking. Something must be done."

And then purposely doing something or saying something to ruin the fun everyone's having, because if I'm a depressed, sad, lonely person - everyone else should be too.

Do you have any experience with that? You should try it sometime, its wonderful.

Sounds like how Varus came to be personally.

This is something peeps have been asking for and yeah, this would be a fantastic way to integrate lore and gameplay in a small but meaningful way.

The lore doesn't matter, stop pretending it does.

BarkleyDec 10, 20174 votes

It matters to quite a few people. Last I checked, about 60. Probably a lot more.

You know what doesn't matter? Your negative-ass opinion.

VectrosDec 10, 20171 votes

This does sound really cool, but it makes me miss the old lore. Old lore actually made sense within the game context-every game FELT like you were living out the lore, because it went hand in hand with it.

New lore, while it does have a lot of good stories, doesn't match up with the game in the slightest...quite frankly, I hate it.

PaffWasTakenDec 10, 20171 votes

Would be awesome, but knowing Riot, they would do it just to make those stories purchasable either by gemstones or Orange essence along with 10 shards availlable by opening chests only availlable by completing time limited missions that you have to pay for to participate in
