Different Champions, Different Worlds

Personally, I think about the champions of the League of Legends as being in a different world as the current champions Riot is releasing.

We used to have the world of Runeterra, where champions fought in the League of Legends to determine the outcome of important political matters within a globally sanctioned arena...Amazingly, that scenario accurately depicted gameplay we experienced! How awesome was that! In addition, we had a layer of mystery: in a world where champions were fighting in order to gain something from the Institute of War, a mysterious organization of powerful people with many on-going conspiracies.

LoL lore used to be so awesome, interconnected, and tied to gameplay.

Now we have a new world, without the global powers with much control as far as we know, A world that lacks any reason for champion's to engage in 5v5 combat on the same battlefield again and again for no purpose, How is that an Improvement on lore?

** I'd love to hear a Rioter explain it to me. Please Riot, do so! Make your case for the new lore. Don't just keep ignoring the people that don't like it hoping that we'll disappear. Provide a substantial argument defending your decision in this specific case please!**

Currently, it feels like lore has taken a step back. Or maybe I just really miss hearing about Runeterra. IDK.

Again, it's not worth it everyone.

Yeah. Then, some said that it kept getting more difficult to die the two together. So they kept an independent world. It'd be nice for them to eventually develop an AU or lore.

I'd settle for super-celestials or something capturing these champions when the void finally makes its move on Runeterra, and forcing them to do controlled battles over the fate of multiple worlds. Kind of adding on to the scale.

Um, you are incorrect. In the old lore, there was only several League matches ever fought, between Ionia and Noxus to determine the outcome of the war. All of the matches played daily IRL never existed in the lore, so you can only say that the old lore RESEMBLED gameplay.
