2 sentences is pretty lame but you also got a full blown music video which took a year to produce.

Not lore though. Good song, lovely animation, not lore.

I stand by what I said. 2 sentences is lame and leaves us hungry for more.

But lore also means oral traditions: cultural material and tradition transmitted orally from one generation to another. That means that the nursery song about a curse ridden mummy that we got is plain and simple lore just like Thor and Odin's saga was mainly oral until it got written down in the 11th century as well as the lore of King Arthur, Ulysses, Moses and for some reason Three Blind mice.

But 2 sentences is still lame

It doesn't tell us anything we don't know already. It's a song that doesn't tell us anything new. I suppose it's lore just rehashed.

You are absolutely right it has nothing to advance the plot.

But honestly an ingame client is pretty bad if you want a **closure ** to a champions' story. It does not apply to everyone but honestly if you learned that Ashe had lost the Freljord war in real life and that ingame you had absolutely no way to make her win it would discourage players from a great character just because no one wants to be on the losing side that is absolutely doomed to fail.

I guess that the best way to handle it would be through a comic or manga.

Nothing about closure, just progression. Stories can end, and new ones start. Story arcs are common.

Hey that's a great idea. It would be neat if somehow the total number of matches won by Ashe over Sej could influence the development of their story. It would be very hard to implement though, given that the description and lore of each champion is static. How would you implement a dynamic storyline within the game?

I didn't mention anything within the game itself.

But if you want, new quotes and such.

So, I actually started a thread regarding this topic last night. It's part of a larger project I'm going to be working on for a while but the TL:DR is Achievement Unlocked Lore. I actually have big plans for our folks over in the frozen Freljord so watch for that. Head on over and give it a read. Upvote if you like. Comment if you don't. :)

I hear you man. Amumu is a great champ who could have a greater lore. So I wrote a little something for Amumu and posted it on my site https://saldamandar.wordpress.com/ . His lore needs some attention but he's going to be making the rounds of Shurima and other places. Count on it... hope you like Amumu's Chapter 1. :)
