For Champions with obsolete/incorrect lore, can you put the following (or something similar)?

#"This Champion's backstory is out-of-date, and will be retold at a later time."

For instance, Soraka's backstory will no longer work because of Warwick getting a complete rewrite. His whole "wants Soraka's heart" schtick will be gone, and thus keeping Soraka's old story around will just confuse people.

I honestly feel like it'd be a good idea for Champions who don't have an up-to-date story to have their Universe entries be scrubbed and fitted with generic placeholders rather than leaving their old stories that will surely confuse the hell out of readers and cause them to ask wrong questions (i.e. "Where's the League of Legends located?").

It'd also be the safest approach, as putting in a brief summary of what the Champion is about long before a complete story is written is a recipe for disaster. These stories are works-in-progress, so if said story changes, people will bitch about how it doesn't match the summary. Having said summary replaced by a "No lore yet. Be patient." notice would piss less people off.

I would rather they just make up a new intro paragraph, to give us a gleaning of what the champs' about in the new canon, even if that means removing the old bio with no real replacement. The paragraph would at least give an indication as to what they're like in the new canon.

"This champion's past is dark and mysterious."

They already have started doing the generic placeholders for champs like Ahri MonkeyKing and Zilean. Each of them had mentioned The league in their lores, but now have been altered a bit.

Ahri now journeys to find mages who can help her with her abilities instead of joining the league where she can feast on souls without remorse. MonkeyKing is now told stories of the great Wuju masters from MasterYi, and wants him to teach him Wuju style instead of being told of the league and making a deal with Yi to use Wuju style to become the greatest warrior in the league. Zilean ...was pretty much was left with no way to escape his chrono-displasia. He is literally mentally stuck traveling through all points in time. No league magic to anchor him to the present.

Each of them mentioned the League of legends right up till the Universe page got added.

But what if he does still want her heart? Just not in the "tear it out and murder you" way?
