Can you at least change Leona's lore a bit so she sounds more pacifist?

One thing that really irks us is how Leona no longer sounds like a pacifist, but now like her bloodthirsty Rakkorian kin. The fact that she WAS a pacifist among a people who thrive on violence made her personality shine like the symbol of her worship, but the current writing of the lore spits on that old ideal.

Unless this is corrected, I can foresee a lot of people trying to boycott your Mount Targon lore.

And please, DO NOT WAIT until some Targon Event to do so. That's a poor excuse.

Some people actually like the said character stories and will play a certain champion only because of his/her backstory.

Her actual lore states ''She believed that the true worth of a soldier lay in her ability to defend and protect.''

And all we can see right now, is that she's bloodthirsty, and that she got enraged when Diana spoke about the moon, meaning that she now has an extremely short temper and is willing to kill anyone who believes in anything else than the sun.

Now i don't know if you were just talking shit for the heck of it, or you genuinely think that nobody cares about League's lore, but alot of people DO mind when their favorite champion's character change, since that's probably what drew them to him/her in the first place.

I believe that the worth in a moba is not defined in the lore. Perhaps an RPG, but not a Moba. The lore is there for fun, but shouldn't reflect on the actual game.

You have the right to not care about the lore, but talking shit to that guy like you did is out of the question.

Not really, I disagreed with the zealous need to boycott League because of something not pertinent to the gameplay at all.

Overall I think the purpose of this lore change was to bring her a bit more in line with her ingame counterpart(who jumps into the fray and bashes enemies faces) and to make her a bit more unique among the champions.

I mean before she was kinda similar to other characters already,like Ashe who wants to forge the freljord into a peaceful nation despite the fact that the history of the freljord seems rather brutal(after all some of ashes own men tried to kill her because they felt she was too weak), Soraka is also against violence and just wants to help others or even Janna who also goes against pretty much everything that her city state stands for in order to help people.

I think that she isn't a pacifist anymore at all

Leona was never a pacifist. A true pacifist believes in non aggression even when attacked. Leona is a warrior and a protector. She won't go after you or start a fight but she will definitely stand her ground and protect herself and her people. The exception to this was her tracking Diana, but obviously this was under special circumstances.
