Do you think the Lore has improved? (Poll)
In the past six months or so since Graham McNeill became the lead writer for the lore, would you say it's gotten better?

Well first off your statement is inaccurate; Graham's not the lead writer, and it's Jaredan who's manning the helm on this lore ship.
Secondly this is a question that a poll could NEVER be appropriate for. The answer is too complex. Just saying "yes" or "no" to this isn't sufficient. There's the ever burning question of why you agree or disagree. Never make polls for opinion posts ladies, gentlemen and yordles.
Its way better from where we started, but there is a lot more work to be done. It did improve from when the retcon started, but that doesnt mean they should stop improving upon what they already are doing, nor is it the lore thats desired. Im sure all of us desire a complex, Warcraft like world, full of mythology, history, characters, atmosphere, culture...and LoL has a long way to go before they present the basics of what this world is and can offer (we got a small window into this world, now they just need to tare down the walls and let the world be presented as they intended and imagined).
How to answer?
The lore is better than post-retcon but worse than pre-retcon. That's not to say that it isn't getting progressively better, but it's still gonna take some time.
Is it better than having the no lore that weve had since the lore-retcon? Yes.
Is it better than the old lore? Yet to be seen. The minor fraction of a small percent of lore we got is good, dont get me wrong, but there is still the problem of no plot! What is the League of Legends, who is fighting or why do they fight??
