I mean don't get me wrong...the lore was amzaing. But I was expecting something post-aspect form where Leona would meet up with Diana and speak of what happened between the two tribes of ancient times. Or at least let the Solari's people understand what happened and there actually IS a Lunari tribe..... Idk. im just disapointed in that, but I suppsoe i can get what I am given right? They did work on Targon lore after all

Trust me mate. Now that Targon's update is done there's a whole lot I'm disappointed about. Diana and Leona barely interacting ranks somewhere in the middle.

I Also find that Pantheon being an "aspect" instead of a War leader or commander is dissapointing too, but the whole set up is pretty much Targon fights void creatures nad targon is also a space empire enslaving a cosmic dragon. It's eh, for me.

It wasn't like a story like burning tides it was more of like foundation work, the expositions for all the characters.

Diana and Leona will meet, their stories ain't done

Tune in next time to see the exciting confrontation between Diana and Leona. The freeing of Sol. The attack of the Void. And Taric insulting Pantheon for being such a bitch.

Coming Soon in the next 2-5 years! Hopefully you're still playing the game!

Of course Pantheon is a bitch for Taric. HAVE YOU SEEN HIS CHEST?!?! THOSE DREAMY EYES!! I am honestly not sure who wouldn't swoon over Taric.

NarasimhaApr 22, 20163 votes

Mantheon. Mantheon does not swoon.

JVP15Apr 22, 20162 votes

After spending time with Leona, he is Tantheon.

Mister SupportApr 22, 20162 votes

Too much time then he'll need a Fantheon.

JVP15Apr 22, 20163 votes

When he becomes OP, I will Bantheon him.

NarasimhaApr 23, 20162 votes

Then he will cry and eat dessert and become Flantheon.

JVP15Apr 23, 20162 votes

Once he becomes too fat to do anything, he will be known as Pantheoff.

Warlord DienekesApr 22, 20162 votes

There's being a bitch for Tarric then there's just being a bitch. And Pantheon, he's just a bitch.

As Tarric even says: Ah, the Aspect everyone hates.

Darrosh JewfistApr 22, 20167 votes

I'm still getting over how they introduced Pantheon as some foo named Atreus and then mind-wiped him for Pantheon, the Aspect-Parasite of War.

The Diana-Leona thing sounds more like a revisioning, and probably poorly planned out.

Jaredan said that this won't be an event,it seems like it was just a bunch of lore updates.

That's fair. It wasn't an event because in events things actually happen.

So instead we got to read as the old stories were discarded or butchered in various ways along with their champions, had a freaking intergalactic enslaving space empire shoved into the lore of three champions that never had anything remotely related to it originally, saw all the champions lose their agency as characters some getting their souls actually being wiped out. So not only did we have to shovel through all that shit, but after it is all over the story we actually wanted to read the story that was sitting in the wings for the last 3-4 years (depending how you decide when the story started with Leona's or Diana's release) didn't even progress in any way.

You know the more I think about it the more I understand why some of my fellow posters are so angry. And I at least try to be the calm rational one.

I understand your feelings completely.

Targon lore sucks, big time, i've seen stuff written by high school students that doesn't even study to become writers be much better

I think Targon suffered a lot from being hyped as an "event" sort of thing. That rumor sorta started who knows when, and people were excited for Burning Tides 2: The ReBurnining. But it...wasn't. And the thing is that it was never supposed to be. Jaredan even explicitly said it wasn't an event in the way Bilgewater was. So that really satisfying storytelling that went with Bilge wasn't present.

Targon was more of a round of Lore updates, and a new champion coming out. There was no real progression on any of the character stories, and although we learned more about Targon, I'd call this more like what happened with the Shadow Isles last Halloween. It's a lot of updates for characters, but no plot forwarding for them. This is kind of a classic "Old" Event for League, like with Freljord and Shurima, where a lot of conflict is set up, but nothing is yet resolved, unlike with Bilgewater, where things did get resolved, especially with regards to TF/Graves and MF/Gangplank.

That said, I'm still excited for the next "full fledged" event. Burning Tides was fantastic.

If you consider that amazing lore, wait until you discover books.

I'm just kidding, that's harsh =P

Come play DnD

SerBlaiseApr 22, 20162 votes

Since new Taric only came out (heh) a few days ago I think the lore is just getting started. They didnt give us the GP interactions until after he was reworked and on live.

Star GuardíanApr 22, 20162 votes

This isn't an event though. These are just their introductions. That's it.

Maximum MordeApr 22, 20162 votes

They did interact, it was just confined to behind the scenes because publishing it would have lost League it's Teen rating.

Star GuardíanApr 22, 20162 votes

Is this supposed to be some kind of joke?

JVP15Apr 22, 20161 votes

I would have really liked to see Diana and Leona interact as well ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Nanuk PihoqahiakApr 22, 20161 votes

The new lore is very well done, but I feel like it enters with a bang and then we're clawing for resolutions. It's not very compelling story telling if every arc ends up being a cliffhanger in regards to what happens with the characters.

Star GuardíanApr 22, 20164 votes

I don't know what more you want from an introduction other than an introduction.

MerxamersApr 22, 20161 votes

From the Red Posts, i think we can expect further "chapters" in the Targon lore that expand on what was introduced. I would be shocked if they didn't include

Diana and Leona interacting/fighting/allying/etc.
Atreus's personality making some sort of return

"Leona and Diana are shown in particular parts of their lives. We're not done telling their story and we want to give them room to grow and change." Jareden

Well when. Considering how long Diana has been out, and instead of progressing their story line like they did with TF and Graves, we get a fucking reset button and our characters are worst off. WTF
