@Riot: Do You Have a Scheduled Date For the Lore Retcon to be Complete? If So, Can You Share It?

Riot is a business. I assume it has timelines for its projects. Riot, can you tell us your ideal timeline for the lore retcon to be complete?

Seriously, I really want to care about Runeterra again, but hard when the most of the lore doesn't make sense.

As much as I don't like the lore retcon, I would rather it be over and done with rather than keeping Runeterra's lore in this weird state of limbo.

Riot please, actually talk to us about what's going on with lore instead of giving us the silent treatment again.

The Riot Narrative department said the were going to to try to be more involved with the fans on the new forums...so far... their involvment has been pretty disappointing.

I mean hey, we've got Jaredan responding to threads every month or two, but where is the narrative team?

Riot, if you are undergoing troubles with putting together a competent lore team...just tell us that that's the problem!

Seriously, you guys used to be all about community engagement and letting the players know about what is going on at Riot.

For some reason, Riot decided that info on the narrative team was top secret and not to be discussed.

Heck, back on the old lore forums, there were some awesome threads that were outright ignored.

It's time Riot, tell us what is going on with the narrative department, so that we can actually understand and sympathize with you guys about super late/undelivered lore content that should be live by now.

They could still change their minds... It's not like they've actually retconned anything (other than the shurima backstories) yet...

They can still do the right thing and drop the retconning to start pumping out league judgements instead.

...

At least we can hope they can.

LOL i agree but that will never happen until riot hire's outside people like dedicated fans to the new team or a story writer nothing will change. The lore will be forever in limbo. The recton kill the beauty and creativity of league lore. The lore had the potential to be on the same level as World of WarCraft And Elder Scrolls but instead they wanted a generic lore that will be lost in history like most games. It saddens me because i really loved the lore and them changing it is ridiculous. Hopefully by the grace of the gaming Gods they actually talk to the lore community. Maybe they feel like not enough people actually care about the lore for them to do something about it. I use to care more about the champion lore than seeing gameplay of the newest champion but now i just buy it with my IP and be done.

A schedule date would imply they have a plan

I believe they cannot share such a date due to their privacy policies. If they were to share such information, they'd be fired.
