So i guess we can give up on the rest of the Shurima Lore.

Because we're clearly never going to get it. It's been nearly 6 months since we were told about the "tech issues" preventing the release of the full champion bio's. It doesn't take 6 months to take a database issue. Perhaps "tech issue" means something a little more complicated, but I know a red (Jaredan?) posted a while back about how the shurima bios were in varying stages of completion and not ready to ship yet. Well, it's been about 5.5 months now. This gives narrative almost a month per champion to write a couple paragraphs of lore. It's not exactly like they have to start from scratch either. We're not asking for a novel here. It doesn't need to be Pulitzer level. Just... something. For reference, back in 2011-12 riot used to pump out new champions every two weeks and they all came with lore longer than "What is a Rammus anyway? Ok."

I remember when riot announced this cop-out retcon, the narrative reds told us to be "Excited for the possibilities!" Right now, it's a real possibility that in another 6 months i STILL won't know why you took Skarner, a good, sympathetic character, and turned him into "generic monster bad guy gaurding a cave for no reason whatsoever." Or anything about the war in the Freljord, why Cho'gath doesn't eat runeterra without the IoW to stop him, or why you retconned the League of Legends out of League of Legends. (I still can't get over how absurd that last part sounds.)

So screw it, I give up.
