The Lore in League Of Legends

With a lot of champions receiving updates to their lores, whether it be their biography or story (for those who have one), it's curious to see how that will reflect upon the League Of Legends in itself. Not the game itself, no, but literally the League Of Legends in (or around?) Valoran. Noxus has been getting some love recently in this department with Swain being reworked and Darius having his biography updated to show both of them being on the newly formed Trifarix within Noxus. However, if they're on the Trifarix in Noxus, how could they be fighting in the League? Champions have had lores directly linking them to the League before, such as Fiddlesticks, who used to be a summoner: Vladimir, who wanted to test his power and sate his desire for more blood (or something like that): and Amumu, who is ever so lonely and just wanted more friends.

Case in point, I'm interested in seeing how the stories/biographies of the champions in League Of Legends are expanded to show how their lives wereprior to being involved with the League and what/how those stories have changed now that their involved with the League; also, what the story behind the League itself is.

I love the story behind many games, especially League Of Legends, and is one of the key things that make this (and other) games enjoyable, as well as why I'm fond of the lore behind Nautilus and those involved with the Shadow Isles. along with the rest of Valoran.

I would appreciate hearing (figuratively) from someone(s) from Riot about this, but also from the rest of the community, because I'm sure I'm not the only person who thoroughly enjoys The Lore in League Of Legends.

Short Answer: The "League of Legends" is not canon anymore in the lore. They are not fighting in the Fields of Justice.

PS: Fiddlesticks got an updated lore already, and he never was a summoner in first place.

Well... the League is no longer canon.

Basically its "Wibbly wobbly timey wimey".

As champions are not all in the same time period and what we see in Summoner's Rift is a pull from the timeline. I'm not being facetious here either, that is what one Rioter has said, in that they are being pulled from different points in the timeline.
