I'd have to agree with most of Darrosh Jewfist's post.
Riot's shown us they can support their lore much better than they are currently doing, and they are somehow defending a huge drop in quality(subjectively) and quantity(substantially).
Despite Riot's growing popularity over the years they are doing less to support the lore of Runeterra now than ever before.
Heck, they're even trying to pass off random videos that tell us next to nothing about Runeterra as lore.
Rather than creating a substantial narrative for Runeterra they've decided to take the lazy way out and leave it as a place where random guesswork connects champions to one another.
Here's my biggest problem with the new lore:
Based on what I've read from Jaredan's posts, Riot's new style seems to cater its lore creation towards what non-narrative teams are doing, and making the developing story of Runeterra take a back seat to pretty much every other team.
The lore team isn't there to write good lore for Runeterra anymore, it's just there to write lore that makes sense of what crazy stuff the other teams decide to do.
According to what I've read from Jaredan's posts, the Narrative teams doesn't have very much creative control. They write lore around what other teams are doing, which, in my opinion, explained why their lore has been so low in quality and quantity in the last year.
With that kind of structure, the current state of lore shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
