Title. Basically Yordles in current lore are powerful magical creatures entities. Currently they are mostly shrouded in mystery for us and I just wanted to get an idea of how the community feels about them.

Overall I think it is interesting that the yordles are kinda like fey in LoL,but I feel like most of the bandle city yordles give me a kind of modern military vibe Teemo Tristana Corki (and maybe Rumble ),which kinda clashes with the idea of them being whimsical spiritual beings.

They're basically just miniature humans at this point. Riot hasn't made any effort to give its non-human beings any distinguishable non-human ethno-cultural traits.

For me at first I like the new direction but now i'm just neutral to maybe the point of simply not caring about them. I think it might be a combination of the frustration of all the mysteries + the fact that magical beings in LoL seem to be running a lot together (immensly powerful, wise, immortal, formless creature whose appearances are based upon who's looking at them, see yetis.) I'm starting to not see the differences, between yeti's shapeshifters and yordles anymore.

Think they have great potential. When they do update the lore, just make sure they are their own beings. Not just influenced by their regions, if they have any, else they would be taking from their characters and making them not their own achievements.

Hard to say because we don't have anything definitive about them.

I believe that they are ancient Gods.

I want them to expand the lore on them, especially Veigar. All we know about him is that he was travelling with a merchant group and got into some shady business, and got imprisoned in Noxus. Because of it, he went mad and grew a lust for power. That's basically all we know about him.

I love Yordles. We need mordles.

Jokes aside, the fey creatures aspect is really interesting. Yordles seem to be something that's kind of the antithesis to what demons have been built up as, if I'm reading into things right. The "Patron Yordle" thing they've been doing is also an interesting aspect of their existence and I hope they come up with one for the Shadow Isles soon.

Bandle City is one of my favorite factions in the game and I absolutely cannot wait to get more lore on it. I do hope they keep the Mothership from the old lore. I know GreenLore said the military aesthetic of some yordles clashes with what they have been presented as, but to me that contrast only makes them all the more interesting. Why DO the Bandle Gunners exist? How did these fey-like creatures develop tech equal to if not surpassing Piltover? I'm very eager to learn.
