@Riot Diana's Lore Was Perfect. Don't Change it. Please.

Her lore is taking a more neutral direction -- I don't like it. In her login music, you hear her sorrow, her pain, her anger, as her misplaced trust became forged into a cold, unforgiving scorn. Diana had arguably the most compelling lore in the game, especially when considering the amount of depth in such a short passage. Her crusade against the Solari was cruel, and perhaps, morally wrong; but it also, somehow, felt righteous: this is what made her lore so great.

Please wait until the long lore comes out. These are just short descriptions of what they do, not who they are.

"Beauty and danger: There are few who can match Miss Fortune in either. One of Bilgewater's most infamous bounty hunters, she built her legend upon a swathe of bullet-riddled corpses and captured ne'er-do-wells. The booming echoes of her twin pistols in the port city's reeking wharfs and scavenger shanties are sure signs of another warrant from the Bounty Board being settled."

This is Miss Fortune's equivalent of what you just read for Diana. What does this tell us about Miss Fortune?

She is a bounty hunter
She is pretty

See how little it says about her character? About her motivations? Nothing. I implore you to take a chill pill and wait. The lore has been amazing in quality since burning tides, so I wouldn't worry. Thank you.

No word of Diana's murders or Leona's need to defend others - the characteristics that earned them the titles of avatars. The short lores look like they're pushing Diana more towards an innocent character, and Leona towards a ruthless and blind aristocrat.

That's what it looks like judging from the short lores, maybe those are written that way to trick a first-time reader, and the rest of their lores show Leona and Diana the way they were before: a defender, and an avenger. I hope they are. I would dislike if they change their characters.

Most of the lore was butchered, Diana will be no exception.

I have no idea why they would choose to do this but that's the direction they took, gg.

It's been my belief that they've never needed to rework Targon's lore, merely expand upon it, and this has always been my concern when it was announced that they were working on it (amongst having either Diana or Leona die). These changes are completely unnecessary in my opinion and I would implore them to reconsider reworking everything.

Do rioters even read fan-fictions? ships? the last lore was perfect for some of the best league of legends fan-fictions written. I'd be very sad if they changed her lore. I dont get why they are even changing a champions lore in the first place, its not like they do anything with it.
