New League lore - It's all just a Schitzos fantasy world.

What is the rift is really a mental ward? What if instead of epic powerful champions, they are just hallucinations of disturbed individuals.

Oh cute powerful Annie, what a fun little girl you are. Or are you just a disturbed little girl, dreaming as you are drugged up in the childrens ward after burning your family alive? clinging to your teddy, you giggled as your mother burned to death.

Mighty, honorable Garen. A military leader worthy of decoration and applause. Or possibly a military deserter, overcome with the guilt of letting his brothers die alone, he lives in a dream world where he is the brave hero, being the man he wish he could have been.

Beautiful, seductive Ahri, your charms are unlike any other, but yet you use them for good. Except actually you are just a nymphomaniac, unable to control your sexual urges even after contracting HIV. You know your recent, unbridled sexual encounters brought death to many men. You are dying in a hospital, wanting to believe you still have the charm you used to, and wanting even more to believe you can still make it right.

All these "champions" are just suffering the hallucinations of a mind that has cracked, they interact with each other in the meeting hall of the hospital, believing they are meeting on the fields of justice. It's easier than accepting reality.
