New Champion Lore compared to Previous Lore
I know I am a bit late on the offering my opinion on this particular topic, but it has been something that was once my favorite part about a new champion release.
I read the post about Story Telling in Runeterra and how you guys wanted to revamp some of the backstory of champions and setting itself, but it seems like the best part of that storytelling has been taken away.
I wholeheartedly enjoyed reading the lengthy Lore of the characters. For example, Darius' lore did a great job in explaining his place in Noxius, his rise to power and his motivation, but then I look at the new Lore for Nasus, and it led to a lot of confusion about who Nasus is, why he is, and what his place in the world is supposed to be.
Compared to his previous Lore, I knew the purpose of Nasus' being, his place in his world and his current goals. Now, especially after the introduction of Azir, I'm wondering how Nasus got his powers. Was it from the same ritual that Azir used on himself? Why was Nasus allowed to even partake in such a ritual?
(This is just one example on how I read the new Lore compared the previous telling.)
To me, this new Lore system no longer tells me WHO this champion actually is but rather a summed up version of WHAT this champion is. To me, it just doesn't feel like a "backstory" anymore.
I really want to be interested in reading that section on the champions again and I really want to understand how you guys came to this decision to tell their story like this or if I'm just the only one who feels like this.
