@Riot, How Do Champions Exist In Post-Retcon Runeterra?

Impetual·7/17/2015, 8:18:32 AM·6 votes·910 views

Can we hear about more about where and how champions are living within the retconned Runeterra?

Can we hear about the social and political situations they have to deal with on a daily basis?

Can we hear more silly stories about their personal lives?

The answers to those questions are what made the old lore really great, which I would argue helped propel LoL into being the most popular MOBA in the world.

I would love to hear more about that kind of stuff!

*@Riot, bonus points if you find a way for summoners to still exist.

CS didn't had any lore and it was still the most played game for a while -- inb4PreparetoDefuse. It's safer to say this game is so popular because of the accessibility and simple mechanics (which is DEFINITLY not bad). DotA doesn't have a Lore as developed as this one, but I'd still go back to DotA, but I can't in this potato.

Several of my LoL friends have 0 interest in lore -- as not many of them are avid readers (yet they still play) -- only one having read most of them if not all, I myself didn't take interest in reading all the journals "If you haven't read Twilight how do you know it's bad?" -- Are you gonna grab every piece of dead trees and read it through? Don't come like it's a great piece of literature, because it's not, it's enjoyable maybe if I'd give it more then a few pages of try.

It's obvious this is getting downvoted.

I just found ridicule you saying "lore (...)which I would argue helped propel LoL into being the most popular MOBA in the world." -- And all the pressure and shittalk you (fanboys) give to their team responsible for lore -- it's like they owe you anything lol

Forget the champions, how does the setting even exist? I figure it'd be blown up by the next runewar by now.
