An honest thank you to the lore team

I have found with my group of friends that nobody really appreciates you guys, saying things like "nobody cares about the lore" or "i don't have time to read". Hearing people say such things really breaks my heart. The lore in League of Legends is such an integral but undervalued part of the experience. And no player is completely isolated from the lore. A champions character influences how they moves, act, speak, look, stand, emote, etc. and their character is tied deeply to their lore. For example imagine how your perception of Karma would change if you gave her Jhin walk cycle and TahmKench idle animations. It would completely change how you see her. These things are drawn from the lore and what a lore we have. From AurelionSol literally making all the stars to the tragic tale of shurima to the chilling tales of the shadow isles it truly pulls a world together. I try to read new lore whenever it comes out and appreciate all the work you put into this. On behalf of the community thank you for making Runeterra a vibrant place.

Keep up the good work.

The lore is actually one of my favorite parts of the game. It fleshes it out so much more than otherwise.

Still got a long way to go before everything's fixed up, but I'm happy that things are coming along as they are. Here's to a bright, lore filled future for League!

I'm so glad that they are redoing allot of their lore... Like that Poppy lore.. It wasn't terrible, but I also don't think it was supposed to make me die laughing when I read it.. So the lore update for her was needed.

I wish they kept the League and just wrote more like they are now. Currently all the good new lore is based on the lie that the Lore Team told us about not being able to write more because of the IoW. It's good lore, but the removal of the IoW was unnecessary. It threw the baby out with the bathwater.

The lore is a must have with a game as deep and detailed as League. I mean, even the jokes and taunts reference lore or are explained in them sometimes. Plus the lore is very well written and fun to read.
