This goes out to the Narrative team, who are known for making the lore and backstories for some of our favorite champions. However there are champions that still retain their pre-retcon lore, and I'm starting to wonder why they're not updating them.

Making lore for these champions may sound easy, but it does take quite an amount of brainstorming to actually think of where they came from, how this'll fit with their kits, gameplay, and personality, and how they'll interact with other champions.

Now my biggest question is, what are some that are super hard to make a lore for? I'm talking about champions that has their own kind of niche that it's nearly impossible to actually create a lore based around that said champion. Champions that were there since the beginning of LoL and now since the retcon, creating new lore has become even harder; especially for champions that were created specifically for the Institute of War. Without a proper setting or story, they can't truly exist and thus can't be proclaimed as a champion.

So what champions that has given you the hardest time to create a lore for?

Rammus He is there, doing things, and he is okay with that... We dont know anything about him, but its OK.

I mean, sure, he has an extended lore... but it doesnt really explain anything, and that is ok.

Corki should be hard, because I still can't believe there are aircrafts and no nation really cares too much about it. How do they want to explain that?

Chogath Even in the old lore, Cho did not exist in Valoran. He was summoned directly from the void in the general hope that it would delay him from forcing his way into Valoran. Cho as he is Can Not be allowed to physically exist in Valoran without demanding a story where he is immediately kicked out. The longer Cho stays in Valoran the Bigger problem he becomes. If you let him stay too long Even Aurelion could have trouble removing him.

For that reason I think it would be difficult to have any meaningful lore where Cho actually shows up without it being a "beginning of the end" situation.

Nunu My runner up. The biggest problem Nunu has is that he may have trouble transition into a universe that is now a few shades darker while retaining his character. Personally I hope they are able to retain what makes Nunu himself when they eventually update his lore.

Xin.

Much of his story seems centered on how he became what he is. But I'm not sure how you can portray him in current events.
