well, riot just hired a warhammer writer a lil bit ago... so hopefully this means they are actually looking to start lore back up....

his name is Graham McNeill if you want to read some news stories about him/the situation

I could have sworn they did, but most people don't agree with it because it's not the old lore.

Provide new(ish) links to new threads made by the lore team that actually give us some substantial information about The Retcon.

What's the state of Jax?

You can also look for Red posts within the Story & Art Board of the narrative department speaking in random threads. The Narrative Lead is actually on the forums talking to some people about how things are going. They aren't going to make a lot of new threads otherwise, they best as well flood the boards themselves. And if you're wondering why they won't come into your threads, it's because you create trap threads that will only bring up bad things if they were to step foot in it. But yeah. They're speaking more. Just not as much as you probably want immediately.

They refuse to answer threads that are far over due for answers.

If Riot is going to retcon Runeterra, they should have their ducks in a row before they did it.

But Riot Retconned Runeterra without having anything to properly replace it. The lore was retconned out of existence, but it wasn't replaced with enough lore to substantiate Runeterra.

The lazy explanation Riot is giving us is that the old lore exists except when it conflicts with new lore, and that is stupid and lazy way to create quality lore.

I'm not wondering why they won't comment on my threads.

I usually am a bit aggressive in my posts. I know that now.

I'm wondering why they seem to avoid commenting on some of the most highly upvoted lore threads in the story and art boards that contain a constructive anti-retcon sentiment.

There are some really highly upvoted threads asking for Riot attention that sadly go ignored, seemingly because they are about a subject Riot doesn't seriously talk about: Lore development.

Impetual. We talked about this.

Making multiple threads trying to poke Riot into doing something will do two things:

Not get Riot to respond to any of your threads.
Earn the ire of the Story and Art board members.

Many people, to a degree, are in the same boat that you are; wanting to see solid lore developments from Riot and some input from them here on the boards. When people tend to voice their displeasure, they can do things like state what bothers them about the current state of lore, explain it in detail over multiple paragraphs, and keep things...and this is very important... In one single thread.

Amazing, isn't it?

But seriously, stop this. I give you an A for effort but an F in execution. Repetition doesn't help your cause.
