Lore is WAY too hidden away...

Seriously, first of all many people just DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE LONGER LORE. They see the tiny paragraph of a champ and be like "ok, must not be interesting then". You could at least put a link into the client or something like "Yo, check out the longer version there and there".

On top of that, unless someone specifically tells you to go looking for it, you just don't know that the Bilgewater and Harrowing Event stories - which were totally awesome I may add here - EVEN EXIST. And the same happened to the Targon-Lore page, now that it's no longer being linked from the client.

And don't get me started about something as tiny as Sion's reborn teasers!

I know you want to solve this once you get the new client done, BUT UNTIL THEN YOU NEED TO FIX THIS SOMEHOW!

This is kind of a big issue I have with the way the client is set up. If I want a hi-res shot of every single member of some LCS team, it's plastered across my screen, but a tiny link to Burning Tides or something like that is just super rare. There used to be a Lore tab in the client, back when JoJ was a thing, and I think it might be worth bringing that back.

You have a point, but when most people come to play this game there just here for the game. But the people who do want to really know the lore will go hunting for it. So I feel its not as much of a problem.

Even myself, I didn't know any lore but since I had that want to find out more, it was easy to discover with the vast following the League lore has.

So its really a preference problem more than a delivery problem, so that's why I think Riot puts it off.

There's lore in this game? I could have sworn they tore it all out when they removed Journal of Justice, cut away all the lore from the champ pages, and retconned literally every bit of lore that they had built up over the first handful of seasons.

There's a technical issue with the outdated client. This'll probably be fixed with the new client. Edit: It'll be a while before the client is updated so as of now there's no real solution.

To this day I am still sad about the changes to Skarner lore. Right now it says Skarner is a guardian and no one knows what he is protecting. About 2 or 3 sentences. Thats it.

Then you play Skarner and notice that some of his lines are actually quite sad and forlorn sounding. "I miss my kind." or "This world is so strange." for example. And there used to be a reason for that. It's not considered canon anymore, so we are left guessing as to why Leagues only sentient skorpion feels so out of place.
