Wtf is wrong with Ekko's lore

"A prodigy from the rough streets of Zaun, Ekko manipulates time to spin any situation to his advantage. Using his own invention, the Zero-Drive, he explores the branching possibilities of reality. As well as experimenting with multi-dimensional probability, Ekko spends his days running wild with the other lost children of Zaun. Though he revels in this freedom, when there's a threat to his friends, he'll endure anything to defend them. To the unknowing observer, Ekko accomplishes the impossible with ease, time and time again"

Gee, thanks riot! Another "mysterious" champion we know nothing about. We really need more of those!

GIve us backstory! How did he get the knowledge to create a time machine if he was raised on the streets? What happened to his parents? Where did he get his wierd-ass sword?Whats his connection to Zilean? What's with the tattoos? GIVE US SOMETHING!

Obviously a little kid can rig a time machine from scrap metal, which even Viktor couldn't do.

So... if we'd put Vi and Ekko together we get MacGyver?

Yeah, the rest of the "scientifics ( Heimerdinger Jayce Rumble Viktor Orianna (her father) ) " look bad in comparison with a random guy who build a time machine with scrap metal

I mean.. Rumble build a Giant robot with scrap metal... BUT A FREAKING TIME MACHINE? that is too much for a simple kid.

Wasn't even a robot. It was a mecha suit that would be hellalot easier to create for you to control, and not an AI.

BWA ha hahahaha ha hahahaha

You actually thought they would release anything substantial? Have you looked at anything the lore team has produced recently? It was all bullshit exactly like this, not really surprising at all.

Every new champion has been more focused on their mechanics than meaning anything in the lore. It will just get worse from here so buckle up and get ready for even more bullshit.

I listened to the quotes and they don't answer a single one of the questions that the OP is asking. All they do is give teasers for possible stories that they won't do anything with.

They are doing short lores like these ever since Azirs release.

formerly they used to release additional lore pieces alongside those on the boards(they did this for Azir,xerath&Kalista),but they didn't do this for Rek'sai(who got the journal from a noxian guy trying to capture her) and Bard(who really didn't get anything besides his video),so i dunno if they'll give us more than that.

Again, these are short bios for the game. There's supposed to be a longer one on the website, but there are tech issues. No, it's not an excuse, and they should do what they did with Azir and Xerath, but Riot doesn't want to do it because they can't reproduce it in different languages.
