Lores in LOL

Getting on to Lore's they give us good info on where the champs are from and how they got on the field of justice personally I love reading champs Lores I think they could be updated though to something more interesting like their battles in the field of justice or what happened to Quinn's brother and if she ever figured out what happened to him or who is Nocturne really? My opinion update lore's ir would make a lot of people read them more. There are some lore that I can tell that you didn't put some thoughts into them so longer lore's and updates lore's

The fields of justice do not exist on the lore of Valoran, the league (and the summoners) was removed. Nothing in the game is canon.

Overall they are reworking a lot of lore currently.

The institute of war gets removed,which will mean that a lot of characters will need a lore retcon(like nocturne). The thing is that like you said,they didn't put that much thought into some characters,which is why they need now to figure out who that character truly is.

They do plan on actually adding to the stories and to continue some of them,but they need to create a solid base for that,which is going to take a while...

By reworking you mean burning it all, yes?

Let's be honest here, they removed the lore of several champions only to replace it with 2-3 sentences because they got tired and lazy of building on what they had. Them removing the League was solely a lazy decision so that they wouldn't have to put as much effort into the lore in coming with reasons as to why people came to the League. They outright say it's because they didn't want to come up with reasons anymore.

So TL:DR Riot got lazy so don't expect really anything from lore anymore as there no longer is a real "canon".

It's taking too long. Seriously.

Not trying to sound self entitled, but a lore retcon shouldn't take more than 6 months....and that's being generous.

If Riot wanted to do a lore retcon, they should have pooled their resources and got it done quickly so we could get on with things in a month or two.

Why is it still happening?

I understand that there is a lot to do, but that just means that the retcon should have been delayed until it was ready....which it wasn't. It's draggingg out way too long with no end in sight!

When will the retconning end?

yeah I agree with this. I can understand that it takes some time to get these things prepared,but they should have announced the retcon after they prepared them,not before that(because up until now there aren't many things that contradict the league and even those that do to some degree could have been handwaved until then).

Youre not wrong but this is a beaten to death subject

You don't seem to know too much about the old lore, but I agree with your comments on how in game client doesn't really tell us that much about it, which is kinda dumb for a champion bio.

My question is: Why is Riot dumbing down champion bios on the in-game client?
