1-Story And Art Boards clearly 85% Art threads.

2-Lore is clearly not being cared about- -Can't get not a soul from riot to actually clarify anything about anything that was mentioned. Clearly it's not being worked on it's been more than enough silence.

3-The community mainly talks about art here. Why would we talk about lore, honestly? What the hell are we suppose to talk about now? "I mean we spent months writing the shortened lores. And you just got Bards only lore seems good enough to us" Really? On look, champion previews that mentions the Freljord event, a popular topic about the Shadow Isles, amd Riot's self exclaimed masterpiece the shurima. Such Marketing.

And then going on 3 months of silence from the matter of lore. For a company that likes to claim they have good community focus services, you sure do love ignoring the lore fans. And look, made everyone go to boards just to lump lore with art. But clearly, This is a Art section of Boards. No one starts meaningful lore threads that have the best discussions anymore. I tried, tried to make discussions for us to talk about. It only rolls down the hill to "Whenever the magical lore figures out whats with a mysterious tech issue that techs 6 months to figure out" Or "We dont know what happening or what will be since the Retcon." It can't go any where and I'm not the only one.

Like do Riot even reads all of Impetual's completely positive threads he makes, as many as they are? Hell no. Not even not even one red post on one of his. It's like I said. not a care in the world" If It was such a priority like they are trying to make it sound like it would have been done by now. oh "Lore is being tied to champ release because we're lazy. We just give the role of Narrative to some rioter who is suppose to know how to write." "Trust me a lot of work is being done" How in the world do u expect us to believe this? How do u expect any of us to be "positive in ur words" when a rioter comes and speak on something If you don't even show care towards fans?

So this is what I am betting on, For the next couple of months, its gonna be the same. A new champ is going to come out, we get his/her lore, and a video. Thats it. Afterwards, Its going to become the Routine that no one is truly no going to care about lore anymore. Then Riot is going to try to "Shock surprise" us by some cheesy event. Like no, Thats nothing no one here that likes lore wants.

But as for as I know, currently It's the Era w/o lore and it's sucking really badly.

Meh, I gave up. Riot's shoes got too big to fast, and the people running it didn't have the foresight needed to stay on top of it. 'Story' board ha, only story here is that people still believe Riot has one to tell.

As far as I'm concerned the lore situation is completely irreparable, barring a miracle. These days I play League as a fun little time-killer, not because it's genuinely engaging. I used to really care about my favorite champions, but now? Christ, they might as well be cardboard cutouts on a derelict set.

It's a slow death. Might as well come to terms with it.

Yeah dude. I bought champs because of their lore. Now I don't even play them like i used to anymore :/ It made me a better player when i knew the champion

You make it sound like there was an era with lore in the first place. Even when the JoJ was present, true lore was still absent. We got a few gems from it, but the majority of it was just filler and fluff. Lore has NEVER been a huge priority. People get really interested when a new champion or even happens, and then it passes. League just isn't the type of game to support a huge lore.

It doesn't make sense. If not even attempt to expand upon it, then whats the point of making lore for league in the first place.

Lore Threads are half of the threads on this specific board and Its like almost 90% are lore complaints.

What I mean is that there are no lovely lore debates anymore like it used to be in lore discussion

There are some, but most get buried by the complaint threads.

Tesla, you seem quite new to the boards of league. Surely you don't think it would be peachy creamy. Especially after the retcon last yr.

No I dont expect that, but I would expect that the usuals would stop for at least a week with the lore complaints, thank you.

it can't happen. Until Riot does something nothing good will come in the coming weeks.

Bioluminescence talked a lot in this thread two months ago

From what it sounds like, we could see some developments in a few months at the earliest, or at least by the end of the year... maybe

If that was the case, It is still the same thing i said above. In the next months to come, its going to remain the same. Then, oh look, we're doing an event! Especially when a nother season is going to start. Which is stupid to me. So we get Sion's promo for this season..... So next season it's poppy.....like no this isn't consistent at all. This is the same process as it has been.
