Can We Please Get Our Own Lore Board Instead Of Sharing It?

When they made the boards, they didn't even ~~bother~~ to even separate the lore boards and the art boards. These two subjects normally have nothing to do with each other. When I look at the story and art board, I see two types of threads of which are lore threads and art threads. If I want to look for something lore related, I should go to the story and art board, but there is so much clutter from the other subject, it kinda makes me feel like I should just go back to browsing GD or something. I'm sure it must feel the same way about people wanting to browse the art boards.

These are completely different subjects, so can we separate them into separate boards?

For them to go through the the trouble to do that, there would have to be Lore in the first place.

I cry, because it's true.

Lore doesnt matter to Riot anymore, so they just left it with Art (Which they barely look at anyway and has competition from Skins/Champions Concepts).

Do you want them to virtually ignore lore fans? They're barely communicating enough as it is here.

Honestly, I can agree what epicz has to say; if there is to be a story for League of Legends, it'd be nice if there separate forum for lore. However, there are certain parts of the Institute of War retcons that need to be clearly defined before they can continue with their lore (Freljord and Shurima have been their current focues as they were never notable parts of the story until Ascension and the Three Sisters storylines. Also Gnar, Zac, Jinx, Yasuo, and Zyra are all examples of safe champions for them to release lore-wise-- their "lore" is generally a minor internal conflict within the city-states and/or are dissociated from pre-existing city-states.)

If there was to be a story forum, trying to figure out the Institute of War story conflicts (Ionia/Kalamadas/Journal of Justice/Judgements) and rewriting the lore for summoner-related champions (Fiddlesticks, Ezreal, Taric, Kayle, Morgana, Zilean, etc.) would be desired before discussions about the lore on it's own forum were to happen.

There wouldn't be anything stopping those discussions from happening on a lore-specific forum. I guess it's moot though, Riot presence here is already more than scarce.

To be fair, we get no information on lore on this board. All I see is the art team actually taking in input and talking to the community like IronStylus.

That explains how much Rito doesn't care about lore.

I agree. Lore should have its own board but I also feel they are not likely to change it. After all, we have seen first hand that they pretty much DrMundo do as they please when it comes to the "story". I really don't see how they thought taking the story out of the story made the story better but that is beside the point now, I suppose.

I assume this was meant to be emphasized, not crossed out?

Naw, was meant to be a joke. It was based on the phrase "I can't even."

Honestly, I don't think lore is active enough to support that sort of thing. Story and Art is one of the few boards that have 1 upvote/0 comment threads in the 'hot' category.
