They were very well appreciated when they were produced. I loved bi-weekly lore updates!
I really enjoyed them, and thought that they were an awesome way to help immerse players into Runeterra.
Hearing about the day to day goings on in Runeterra really helped it feel alive. I miss that.
Pyrodinium2 votesI don't know... The JoJ was cute and its stories fun, but most of them absolutely lacked a sense of advancement.
Also, there is the problem of interest from the audience. When the JoJ was discontinued, there was a huge uproar in the Lore forums, but the rest of the community barely noticed.
Narrative's time and energy is probably best used in something with broader appeal.

The JoJ not only the political changes within Runeterra, but also shed some light on what random champion's were doing in their off-time. It made the world feel so much more enriching.
We don't get that kind of lore anymore, since every lore release seems geared toward champion releases and event lore.
Where's the lore about champion actually developing beyond their bios?
