Categorical as well as factional lore updates are effective together
Every since the release of
and
as factional updates I was believed into thinking that many champions will be left out from lore updates as the factional updates don't cover all champions.
But since the release of
and
which brought about the updates of champions in the vastaya category, it gave me hope that maybe with every new or vgu champion , a string of old champions that share factions or characteristics will also be updated.
The updating of champion lore through categories lightens the load on factional updates and makes sure more champions get a lore update.
A very recent example is the new champion Kayn who may bring about the updating of champions categorized as Darkin, which for now are only two champions:
Though small compared to the Vastaya update it still updates the lore of a champion without a faction and one that would have little chance of being updated as he is part of a very vast faction: Ionia
Of course there will be champions exceptions as some champions will still be left out of a factional or categorical update , mainly champions on the vgu list or have lore riot is satisfied with
So in conclusion I hope we get more categorical updates since the remaining factions yet to get an update are too big to include everyone. However since we've been told runeterra is an ever expanding world, we may see some champions we thought to part of known factions suddenly being part the new and unknown region or group of the wide world of runeterra http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/leagueoflegends/images/3/37/Runeterra_Map_01.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/2000?cb=20161202020807

and maybe
(if he is a demon) will be part of a spirit/demon update(Shens lore implies that demons are also spirits,but they might get their seperate update)
and
will get their updates with their VGU(which will likely give us an update for angels as a whole)
