Regarding Bio updates and Lore upadtes

I love reading the new Bio's and Lore and all the changes that are making Riot Games is making after Retconning the summoner story, but it feels they are removing some of the potential they had in the old Bios.

Example: The supposed romances of Garen and Katarina, also Jarvan IV and Shyvana, which are now at this point, not at all mentioned in the nwe Bios, at least for Garen and Jarven.

These stories partially gave us a interesting life behind these characters to think about: Will Garen/Katarina ever figure themselves out? Who would leave which faction? Where will they go?

One other point I thought, however, worked very well was Vayne: [Spoiler]

Vayne killing Frey, the woman who taught her because of what she did in order to fight, was a brilliant showcase of her coldness, but it also could have been a good way to show her morale struggle in whether she should kill Frey before actually doing it.

Replacing the stories has been great, but it feels that some of the potential is gone. Aatrox << just like this guy

These stories are set up to have follow-ups though. They also show us a lot of flaws in the characters, flaws that may or may be not adressed later. Its not start-to-finish with one lore piece now. Shurima and Bilgewater events have shown as such.

maybe they dont need to. they can still hope for a political marriage. helps to be best buds with the crown prince.

plus, katarina belongs to a house that opposes the black rose (swain, leblanc, darius) and has worked together with the demacians in the past. under the rule of her father as grand general before swain overthrew him, noxus strived more for a tolerant approach and they were at a stalemate with demacia. so that helps.

GarenxKata will likely be explored later on,they just didn't want Garens lore to solely consist of "yeah he's the guy who has a crush on Kata".

Also I think that JarvanxShyvana seems even more likely now,with Shyvana saving Jarvans life when he was pretty much doomed to die. I mean just because they didn't fall in love instantly when they met,it doesn't mean that they can't do it eventually.
