Apparently summoners are still going to be part of runeterra?

Tryndamere held an impromptu AMA while addressing the issue of riot's communication's policies. When confronted about the removal of summoners from the lore he responded by saying they haven't removed summoners from the lore?

Your "new direction", has completely ignored a lot of the communities discontent with the idea of removing Summoners from Lore. Everything they are currently brewing is no good because it has no tie to what happens in game. I've yet to see anything that assuedes me on this (Harrowing, Azir, etc.)

We haven't removed summoners. - Tryndamere

He's the president of an international corporate juggernaut. I'm sure he means well for his customers, if only because they're what puts bread on his table, but it's pretty silly for you to expect that he actually pays attention to anything that goes on in the department described by every insider as having the lowest priority in the company.

I have to do this, but I'm going to hate myself in the morning...

Seriously, I hope he responds to Cupcake's reply. It would be nice to hear what he's been told about the story's direction.

I'm quietly hoping for a reenactment of the first issue of current She-Hulk series, where Shulkie storms Iron Man's skyscraper, beats up his super-advanced robot security, scares the crap out of his secretary and finally baps poor Tony over the head with a wad of documents, all because his legal department was too busy trying to bully her into submission to call their boss and discover that the entire lawsuit could be settled with three minutes of conversation.

Tryn said WORLD RUNES are going to become "a bigger deal in the lore"

Back in August.

I think what he means is that Summoners are still what they're calling players (Summoner spells, etc.). The dev blog made it pretty clear summoners were nixed.

Maybe he didn´t get the memo from the Lore dpartement where they told him about how they managed to enrage all of the lore community without any decent reason. Must have been a good laugh for them, dunno why they didn´t share it.

I can see that at a weekly company meeting or other event. Go around asking what everyone has done lately and the lore team has to say, "we managed to alienate almost everyone that actually still cared about our mostly ignored department."

Summoners as -Summoners ON THE RIFT bonding with Champions?

No.

Summoners as CHARACTERS within the SETTING that like their namesake summon "stuff".........that could stay in the setting as a discipline of magic.

In which setting? within the main-cannon on what has formerly been the "league of legends" surely not.

Within the current canon of course.
