@Riot Narrative Team: "Put Up, or Shut Up"

edit:** Wait! Please don't shut up. I'd actually really like to have a dialogue!**

Riot, is there a reason why the narrative lead at Riot remains a secret? It's starting to seem like the position doesn't even exist.

From what I see on these boards, the recent lore retcon left a pretty sour taste in the mouths of many League of Legends Fans.

Personally, I find it very disappointing that Riot would abandon Runeterra's history just because they felt it became a bit to difficult to write about. (that seems to be their position).

Personally, and from what I've seen of public opinion, I would think many players would agree with me that the new lore direction has not yielded a higher or even equal level of lore quality than what we had previously. (with the exception of the new Sion lore, which was done pretty awesomely, yet was admittedly just a re-envisioning of his old lore, with Swain coming off as a much weaker leader than he did before).

The Shurima event felt really lame to me as a player, despite the Azir hype (he didn't appeal to me as a character very much, as we didn't get to see much of his personality outside of Rioters telling us that he supposedly had a lot of pride, although he didn't really show that with any kind of action in his lore).

The Freljiord event was a bit better. I really disliked most of the retcons, but ARAM as permanent new game mode kind of saved it. Even though the new lore and the lore retcons felt awful to me.

Riot, as a humble player, nay, a proud summoner, I ask you to look back to your roots and reconsider the course that you are taking the League of Legends lore in.

If the "League of Legends" isn't even a part of the lore in the game League of Legends, then something is horribly wrong.

Don't ask "why does game play need to be tied to the narrative?", but go further and ask how can gameplay be better tied to the narrative?

Riot, it's time to "Put up or Shut Up". (Actually it's a bit late. You should have "Put Up" when you initally announced the lore retcon. You're a bit late now. But whatever, we'll forgive you if you fix things)

You've made it clear that most of the old lore is non-canon now. Put up! Show us what you have to replace it in a timely fashion, or "shut up" and give us back the Runeterra we came to know and love.

It's years overdue Riot. Many Rioters have admitted this themselves. Put up or shut up. If you aren't ready yet (for god knows what reason, after having years of a lore drought) then make it a priority.

Riot has shown it can deliver awesome quality lore on a bi-weekly pace. There isn't any excuse why we should wait months for lore updates that feel like they are of lower quality than what we had in the early days of LoL.

Aren't you trying to evolve and improve? Because I think that most players would agree that Riot has taken a BIG step backwards when it comes to both its lore quality and quantity.
