Would you support partially scheduled lore?

For example: The Harrowing now becomes the 'dark/evil' lore event.

Every year during the Harrowing we would get either: 1) More info about the Shadow Isles e.g. Next chapter of a champion's story, allegiance/relationship changes, aftermath of some event

2) Info about dark and mysterious beings/happenings e.g. Another Darkin, Void happenings, Nocturne enslaved by Annie

Similarly, another annual event like Snowdown will always feature Freljord-related news, an icy champion release/rework or an ARAM featured mode; Lunar Revel would feature some of the champions with Eastern/spiritual influences or Ionia.

In between these 'scheduled' releases we would get the regular champions/reworks and the occasional Shurima-like event (e.g. Mt. Targon + Arena Mode).

This idea works fantastically with the Shadow Isles but would be horrible if done with other city states.

If there were 4 or 5 events per year, that means only 4 or 5 city states would ever get attention. Id rather see the LoLverse fleshed out, not the same ol thing all year every year.

Rito thinks they're doing that.

Actually they don't. And also because they don't want to force people to try to catch up, since people don't care anyways.

...But that's definitely better than none, right?

Well they seem to go into that direction with the harrowing. I mean they updated the SI lore for this seasons harrowing as well as the one of season 2(only s3 was kinda left in the dark) and we even got some champs around that time(Elise was released during the harrowing and Kalista was released afterwards,I think that they originally wanted to release kalista during the harrowing,but it simply took too much time to actually get her done)

I always wondered why they wouldn't do stuff like this,because it looked like a cool idea(but they shouldn't restrict themselves to only release conent about these factions only during these times,this should be taken as a cool opportunity,not as a restriction)

There is even a small chance,that this might happen with the coming chinese new year,cause they said ao shin might be released early in 2015,which would put his release close to the event(if he didn't get further delayed).
