Will we ever get a lore segment that's more comedic than serious?

I dunno about the rest of you, but I'd love to see a moment between Lux and Ezreal that matches the above from SAO.

We can't have everything be super dark like the recent Bilgewater event, right? What about some lore events that are more laugh-sided?

EDIT: Please no circlejerk arguments about SAO. I was just using it as an example of comedy.

I demand that Blitzcrank's love for poros becomes a lore event, featuring Braum.

Your move, Lore Team.

Except SAO is a B to C grade anime that got famous for some godly reason.

I don't want any other titles to mimic anything besides the setting from this anime, it would only make it bad.

Now there is no reason to insult the anime especially one that some might find enjoyable its not like it affects you in anyway who watches the show and how popular it becomes. and as for the point of the post I agree it would be enjoyable if we got some lighthearted lore maybe though I personally find these would be shorter and maybe smaller than the Bilgwater event I would like to see some of Cati and Vi or maybe of Ekko and Zil since I find they would have great chemistry

I have issues with SAO the same way I have problems with Skyrim.

They are both incredibly bland, filled with almost 0 content, no innovation and the worst part, not even trying (or gave up somewhere along the development cycle). The only cool aspect about those 2 titles are I guess their concept/setting/scope but even then it's not like those were not used/achieved before, albeit perhaps on lesser scales but executed better.

Shallow and pointless product that got marked success by high popularity solely because of marketing would eventually destroy the industry, which we're already seeing the trend and I personally just hate that, very much.

I don't have problems with romance, humour and stuff like that, I am not a rock after all. But there are definitely better, more meaningful and more creative ways to do things, they just need to try. But yes, comedy is good.



When highly praised creations were a result of low effort production but high budget crowd control, it just grinds my gears.

Now please keep in view that that is how you see them and that is your view, which I respect, yet not every one shares your view nor should they since we as humans are individuals who all like and dislike for many reasons and though you are allowed to voice your opinion please also keep in mind the opinion of others while doing so as for others not to feel offended, and though I agree in the way that I also don't enjoy both Skyrim and SAO for some of the reason's you have stated I would never offend any one or judge them for liking it since it affects me in no way, so what if the world finds it as the best game and anime ever, I will disagree with their statements and as long as both parties can be civilized I see no problem, though if one party started to insult the other .for such like's, I like to keep in mind that it one's again no the object of admiration fault if not the community's fault.

I can definitely agrees with this, sorry if I may come across as being rude.

I am still working on the boundary between assertiveness and outright being mad.

Apology. I should have been more calm on the things I don't personally like.

You forget that they hired a Warhammer lead writer or some such nonsense onto the lore team.

Its grimdark from this point out, boys.

SAO sucked, too much fan service for no god damn reason other than fan service, plot line all over the place, pointless fillers, why da hell did they all relax while they were suppose to get out of the game as soon as they can, why da hell was Kirito so attractive and made a harem, why da hell does his sister fall in love with him and why did we even need that sort of drama when he loved someone else.....disappointing story but nice animation (most of the times).

Overall a mediocre story that a fan could have made better, just like LoLs lore...............oooooooooooooooooh shots fired, jk.

At least Log Horizon was cool until Studio Deen (why change studio though) sorta ruined it in Season 2, but thankfully it was still okay so the overall ride hasn't turned south yet (at least for me).

Hopefully there is a S3 for that anime (with better adaptation ofc).

EDIT: but really the worst part for me in SAO is mostly the balance state of the MMOs Kirito plays, holy. They make Riot's balance team chuckle a bit.

More like Lux and Garen amirite?

But seriously, it would be nice if the lore team did something on the lighter side. Or did something in general.

The older lore had some pretty awesome comedic stuff.

Sadly, the new lore seems to shy away from that kind of stuff.

Blitzcrank's fleshling compatibility service was awesome!

I wish we'd get more of that kind of stuff!

The way Riot used to produce lore, we would certainly had some comedic lore.

These days I'm not so sure.

Since Riot has taken to the model of having lore releases few and far between, they kind of have to be serious. They need to be meaningful to the world, and subsequently, less silly.

If we had lore updates every two weeks like we used too then Riot could produce comedic lore for their champions again and have it actually be cannon.

IMO, it kinda feels like Riot's leaning a bit too heavily on it's community to produce funny champion stuff these days. It comes across as lazy.
