The following Zaunite champions had their lore updated

Zac Ekko Janna Viktor Jinx Warwick Blitz Mundo

All twitch has

A plague rat by birth, a connoisseur of filth by passion, Twitch is a paranoid and mutated rat that walks upright and roots through the dregs of Zaun for treasures only he truly values. Armed with a chem-powered crossbow, Twitch is not afraid to get his paws dirty as he builds a throne of refuse in his kingdom of filth, endlessly plotting the downfall of humanity.

One paragraph, Riot pls. They won't go back to Zaun for some time so I guess twitch lore will probably not be expanded for years to come. Feelsbadman

Yeah... a glimpse behind the scenes... we worked on bios for Twitch and Singed as part of the Zaun event, but they didn't quite reach the quality bar we set for this kind of thing. So they were canceled, and we'll revisit in the future.

He also has the short story, "H.I.V.E. Incident Report".

And that means he has more than some other characters do.

For example, Kennen and Akali.

Do you know what they have? Their old two-paragraph bios, which still reference the Fields of Justice. The Fields of Justice haven't been referenced since the Great Institute of War Retcon. (The Fields of Justice were the locations where Champions would fight in battles organized by the Institute of War. The Institute of War does not exist anymore.) Summoner's Rift still likely exists within Runeterra, probably as the site of that battle mentioned in Aatrox's story, but it's unclear whether Fields of Justice exist anymore.

But I agree that Twitch has very, very little, and could use more. I just re-read H.I.V.E. Incident Report and enjoyed it. Twitch is cool.

(I was also disappointed that Xin Zhao was ignored in the Demacia event.)

You are right that they left out Twitch in this event, kinda sad since I really like him as a character. Another character who was left out is Singed, but he got kinda compensated with the short story "Engineering the Nightmare".

But it is not entirely true that this one paragraph is all what Twitch has. Twitch has a color story called "Do not engage!". Unfortunately, I guess we won't get anything about him for quite some time. Maybe when Dr. Mundo is going to get his update, but that is far in the future.

I actually think they might update Twitch and Singed's lore along side Urgot's rework.
