@Riot, Let's Finally Figure Out Which Pre-Retcon Lore Is Cannon And Which Isn't. It's Long Overdue.

The blanket statement Riot pushed that all old lore was cannon except where it contradicted the new lore isn't working.

There's still so many lore inconsistencies over a year after the decision to retcon the lore.

Although I'm against retconning the original League of Legends lore, I must say, Riot should be doing a better job of retconning League of Legends Lore.

@Riot, if you must retcon your lore, do it right. In you attempts to keep most of the old lore cannon you are making most of the new lore contradictory to the old lore.

By trying to have the best of both worlds, without investing the time and dedication to produce that kind of lore, you are creating lore that doesn't make sense since some champion's still have bio's based off old lore and others are based off new lore.

@Riot, make your game's lore make sense. No other game could get away having some champion's existing within different lore timelines without an explanation. LoL shouldn't get a free pass for a lack of writing and lack of content.

Seriously, think about it, if any other game took this long to retcon their lore and still be only partially finished, they would be seem extremely incompetent.

It's easy: everything from early 2013 onwards is pretty much canon right now. The earlier stuff is all dubious.

Nonono.

It's a year after the retcon became official.

The actual retcon happened in May 2012 when last issue of Journal of Justice was released and after nearly FOUR years they still did nothing.

This is like your typical politics bullshit except the only thing we can do is to emigrate aka quit the game.

I'm pretty sure they explained at length when the reconed happened anything to do with the IOW and LOL are not cannon while BIg event still happened such as the Ionian invasion by noxus . They are working on it give them time we get quality stuff with a decent enought time gap we will get more Ionian lore next week via Shen and jhin , and getthing targons and shurima lore after than , if we rush them quality will suffer

first they killed the lore, now they killed the strategy....seems like they´re on a run to make Lol a bad Hots clone to close the circle?
