@Riot, Why Won't The Narrative Department Talk To Us About Lore?

It seems that on the "Story and Art" boards we get more Rioters from other departments talking to us than we get Rioters who are actually from said discipline discussing things with us.

That seems pretty weird. Despite Riot restructuring to better handle lore, the lore side of things still seems pretty neglected.

@Riot, Why isn't the Narrative team talking to us about what they are doing? Their absence creates the notion that they may not even exist and that LoL lore is forgotten and unimportant to RIot.

This seems like as good a post to address this as any. Impetual, you are part of the problem.

I'm just as angry as you are for the years of failure from Riot on this, if not more so, but the way you've been posting is not helping one bit.

You're constantly (at least 3 times a week) posting these click-bait threads to get Rioters to respond to you, months after you said you were "done."
You're always using titles like "Let's Drop The Bullshit Reasons For Lore Stagnancy. Let's Actually Talk About Stuff!"
You know, for a fact, that Riot isn't going to undo the Retcon, yet you keep making the same pleas over and over again.

Yes, Riot's to blame for not producing lore after the Retcon announcement. Yes, Riot's to blame for the lack of communication from their end. Yes, Riot's to blame for the removal of much of the story we fell in love with. Yes, some of us here are upset at the Riot's history of failures at communication and broken promises... Yes, there is much blame to go around.

But with the exception of one non-Narrative Rioter, your efforts have done little but alienate a group of people who are already on edge because they have to deal with the sins of their predecessors.

Impetual, give your self some rest dude. I see you post like every hour. It's like watching one guy protesting against a grocery store lol

Riot just won't speak about. They just want to keep avoiding questions like this so let them keep ignoring the community. It's going to backfire on their part.

honestly dude after how horribly the lore was handled do you honestly think there is a lore department left?

The lore department is specially instructed not to look at the Story and Art Board. Posting 3 times per day won't change anything
