Lore?
Is there any actual lore in this game?Not just a champion story stuff,but actual lore.
I take example from DOTA that has real lore/story.
Im just wondering if there is such story in LoL.Or is it maybe just slapped on on the go.

Just go there and have fun. There are stories for each champion (well, almost. You may find a post that was made a few days ago about which champions don't have stories yet), and more. You can find comics, stories that aren't about champions (such as The Eye in the Abyss by Anthony Reynolds, or Twilight of the Gods by Graham McNeil, two awesome, talented writers). There are also stories that involve champions but that aren't necessarily about them directly (The Dreaming Pool byt Anthony, and Where Icathia Once Stood by Graham). There's a lot of stuff really, and there's more coming: a novella, more comics, Syndra lore, etc. So yeah, there's plenty of lore. There's even a map (I think Bio's the one we gotta thank for that!).
One can but wonder why they are putting so much effort in Worldbuilding...
"Dota Lore" "Warcraft Lore" [sg-lux-2]
Riot scrapped alot of the their old lore to create new lore which is why there are no summoners in league of legends. Summoner part got scrapped which makes it kinda ironic that the main mode is summoners rift
They are doing well in making new lore the recent years some of which are very well made kinda
Depends what you mean with "slapped on". If you mean that lore and gameplay are seperate from each other, then yes. If you mean that the lore isn't well done or only small scale, then definitely no.
There are currently 146 short stories on the universe page. Roughly 100 of them are champion specific color stories, about 5 are skin universe stories, and the rest are either world building or character interaction stories.
