If You Could Change a Champions Lore or The World Lore, What Would You Do?

This is just more for my curiosity but as of right now Riot is going through the process of rewriting very outdated lore, both for champions and the world of League, and I got the thought of what if the community could give their suggestions. And this can be about anything. If you want to add an event to the history of the world it'd be difficult but that's fine. If you want to add something for Riot to add to the future and maybe turn into another Burning Tides event, than that's great. If you have an idea to update an outdated lore of a champion or just want to update one a tad bit to make a little more sense, again, that's fine.

Just start listing your ideas. I'm really interested to see what people have to say.

Bring summoners into the lore

Its hard for me to believe that historical events haven't been influenced by summoners at some point in Runeterra's vast history

Heard summoners got completely nullified from the lore so i'd just add them back in

Revert New Yorick's lore to something more in-line with his old stuff.

I would change Atreus' name to Pantheon and the Aspect of War's name to something else. I think a lot of people's contention with Pantheon's new lore is that Pantheon is no longer "Pantheon". I personally don't have an issue with "Pantheon" being called Atreus, but I can see how it's confusing to some people.

I'd undo the retcon. The IoW was fine, just Narrative wasn't progressing the plot.

Tesla Effect9/23/2016, 8:07:27 PM3 votes

Update all the old lores that still reference IoW and finish the unification of all lore.

Lore:

After the events of the Rune Wars, a Crystal of pure starlight fell from the sky and landed in Ionia. The power emitting from the Crystal reached the attention of Bard, who hid the Crystal deep within the forests of Ionia to keep it hidden from those who would try to use the Crystal for evil and to put it on the path he could feel it was destined for. Over the years the Crystals power leaked to the surrounding wildlife, granting them the gifts sentience and longevity. Over time, a band of monkeys came to revere the Crystal, performing elaborate rituals in hopes to gain more power from it.

One day as a ritual was being performed, the Crystal exploded with energy. When the dust settled, all that was left was a baby monkey where the Crystal once sat. The Monkey Shaman could feel the power of the Crystal within the newborn monkey and took it upon himself to raise the child to get him to reach his full potential. The monkeys named him "Kong" and over the years, proved to be the greatest warrior in the forest, as no creature could best him in combat.

In time the monkeys nominated him as their leader and the monkey king was born. As the years past, Kong found a group of strange "hairless monkeys" (noxian soldiers) who proved a greater challenge than any Kong has faced before. He asked the Shaman about them, to which he informed him of the hairless monkeys known as humans. Kong, seeking greater challenges, left the forest in search of more humans to fight. After days of travel, Kong found MasterYi, training alone. Kong noticed his strange movements and began to copy him. MasterYi, frustrated about the loss of his village, attacked Kong in a desperate rage.

Throughout the fight, Kong could feel the loss Yi has suffered and how his anger subsided as they sparred. when the burden of Yi's hatred had fully lifted, he had Kong by the tail. With harmony restored within Yi, he let go of Kongs tail and thanked Kong for putting him back on the right path. Kong, interested in this strange way of fighting that Yi had used, asked him many questions about it.

He came to learn of Wuju and the responsibility that befalls anyone who becomes a practitioner of the art. Kong immediately decided he wanted to learn from Yi everything he could about the art. To prove to Yi his dedication to learning the style, he changed his name to Wukong and vowed to become the greatest warrior the world has seen, using Wuju.

Yi agreed, but under the condition that Wukong would one day teach Wuju to others. when Wukong returned to the forest, he learned the art of Wuju, and decided to pass along what he learned to the other monkeys. From that day on, The monkeys became the guardians of the forest and protected all life in the forest using the martial art they learned from their king.

Probably would leave the stuff about his staff and maybe a bit of his friendship with Ahri for the fluff text part of his lore. He would likely end up fighting her, thinking she was trying to harm some villagers and through fighting her he learns that she was really trying to help them, offhandedly mentioning the story of him getting his staff from Yi, who got it from his old friend Doran.

I'd just like to know more about the lore of certain characters, like good ol' Morde, but also other champions like Braum, Aatrox, Shaco, most of what we know is WHAT they are, not really much about WHO they are, or who they might have been. Some of that stuff is the result of pre-lore revamp where people of complete mystery could still be league champions like Shaq-Fu and Evelynn, and everyone was alright because the only real perceived requisite was how well you could kick ass.

But that isn't the case anymore, some champions might get theirs eventually and it might be completely new and original, but there are also stories that haven't been explained, like who Braum was before he became a legend, who Morde might have been before dying and becoming a revenant, who or what were the Darkin and who was Aatrox among them, etc.

Karma's current lore to her original lore. It gave her character much more substance and space to explore.

Easily get rid of the space alien aspects of the Targon lore. Or, at the very least, rewrite Pantheon so Atreus is just a very good soldier who has to deal with his entire world going into chaos with all these aliens who think they're gods wandering around messing his mountain up.

I would really like it if Space was something more explored to give the potential for more outlandish, alien-like champions.

Karthus And Lucian meet each other at some point. Instead of Lucian trying to kill Karthus on the spot they start talking. One of them brings up Thresh, and the decide to go after him together, to free Lucian's wife and the other tortured souls within Thresh's lantern.

The void creatures they are all over, randomly placed and no one tries to wipe them out? What's the story behind that? I mean Kog went around eating entire towns and what happened? He was invited out to dinner...

I want real Alistar lore.

Or more brand Lore.

I want Ezreal to run around Runeterra throwing item 2003 at all kinds of creatures (Anivia Chogath Gnar Khazix Nami Teemo Warwick ) until he catches them all. Along the way he could battle other "summoners" doing the same thing (TwistedFate Sivir Quinn Jayce Braum ) . Water beats fire, fire beats grass, and grass beats water. Sometimes if a creature wins enough fights, it can transform into a better creature (summoner 31 --> summoner 30 ). It would be a cool adventure and more original than what we have now!

It's heavily implied that Tristana and Teemo are romantically connected. I'd make it so that Teemo has a thing for Tristana, but Tristana doesn't currently see him that way. We have to give Rumble chance.

About Talon's lore, I think his league judgement could stay. The situation of Noxus' slums and his betraying Kavyn portrays him pretty well imo.

I'd love to change Mundo's lore. I mean his lore is lame and has no explanation on why is he this very hulky figure. So I've been thinking that maybe he was the best doctor in Zaun but one of his fellow patients infected him with Pox Arcana, the deadliest disease on the planet, which he has to find a cure for before it kills him. The disease would make him big, but also take some of his health away everytime he does something.

I would personally change the deus ex machina character change they did to Lux with her Judgement. That was such a cheap way to bring darkness into Demacia it was pitiful.
