@Riot, What's The Deal With The Infamous "Tech Issue" Preventing Lore From Being Delivered Properly?

It seems really weird that it's taking so long to resolve.

Care to share any details about why?

I'm sure many players would love to know some specifics about what is going on with that stuff.

Seriously,what the Fiddlesticks are these tech issues anyway?

What I think I know from reading several Red post about the issue over the last 6-7 months: It's a problem with trying to exclusively post longer lore on the champs' page on the website?But it affects the lore in client which are suppose to be the shorter lore.They're working with old tech or something?

I honestly don't know why they don't just post the long lore IN CLIENT until they have these bloody tech issues fixed.And by long lore,I mean the finished one.If the longer lore isn't finished yet,then why replace the previous lore with the summaries when the long stuff aren't even done yet?

I assume that they realized soon after replacing the Shadow Isle champs' lore with summaries.Why I assumed that,because they haven't done it in a while & it isn't too hard to come up with summaries.Someone must have told the Narrative replacing old lore with summaries when the longer stuff isn't able to be posted was a bad idea.

Part of me is greatly confused about this whole situation.

I'd assume that the problem runs the gambit and is ingrained so heavily in to the coding of the website and client that they could literally pull out a string and it'd all collapse, kinda like an enormous jenga tower.

My hope is that they're actually doing more than just fixing tech issues and actually building a proper lore hub that ties everything together and makes everything accessible, but that's just me.

A lore hub is definitely needed.The only place to find any of the LOL lore (as far as I know) is the LOL wikia.

That's what I'm saying! Fingers crossed that something like that comes about.

No one say anything. I know what you're gonna say, don't. Let a man dream dammit!

Dream?A lore hub should have already been a reality! After this whole fiasco with the lore,there should be new lore hub with a crap ton of content.And by crap ton,I mean enough to make up for this mess LOL lore fans have been put through for the past 6-7 months.Longer if you're counting the Pre-Retcon period.

Exactly, I'm honestly expecting rek'sai/sion levels of lore for every character Riot has touched so far. 6 months aren't spent just figuring out how to put words on web pages, I'm expecting visual and audio components.

There isn't one dude..

Listen the same content that came out for Rek Sai and Bard--the story of rek sai and the constellations--That is the tech issuse They said that there's a problem hindering them from putting lore up on the site like they wanted... This is a Lie. Because they could just release the supposed lore they have just like that. And for Ant in Oz to come ask us what champs we want to hear about recently???? Oh yea, they're lying. Why ask us what we want to hear when u know what we wanted. They lurk on the Boards all the time.

Sometimes you have to look closely at the facts presented to you. It's sad really, Narrative just can't be honest
