This idea just hit me, and I'm kinda curious.
How do you folks in the narrative department react to the criticism (both positive and negative) involving your lore decisions/retcon?
It feels like the Story oriented developers at Riot are really detached from the players (as it seems we aren't even allowed to know who heads the narrative team), so It would be really cool to hear their thoughts on this.

Champion Skin3 votesThere wouldn't really be a need to retcon... there were other ways of getting out of the institute of war... With so many horrifying creatures like Nocture, Vel'koz, Hecarim and so much power consentrated at the Institute of war it wouldn't take much for it to erupt and fall into pieces if some of the creatures/champions broke free and went rouge destroying everything Or other options I am sure there are some.... like maybe something political?

To be fair, we would've complained about that too. Some players understandably want to be summoners and have an impact on the story. We're mostly suggesting this option because it's the lesser of two evils.
Champion Skin2 votesWell in the end it is impossible to please everyone
Lets just hope they do a good job and hopefully communicate some more And preferably before they do/decide to do huge things like this retcon
Though anything is usually better then nothing I suppose

But did they please anyone other than themselves with the update?
Champion Skin1 votesI don't know... they might have pleased a few.. though I don't think they pleased the majority
Criomhthann2 votesOutside of giving an extremely general description of what they have planned and what their current or past troubles would be or have been they don't respond towards detailed criticism or irrational hatred.
"How does he have time to watch all those?"
"Well, he's worked out this technique where he doesn't watch any of them. lt's working out really well for him. Yeah."
HitsFromTheBomb1 voteswait ... this game has lore... ? and they have pple working on that :P this gives me giggles
