Riot's Narrative Department's Involvement with it's Community, or Lack There Of.

Impetual··7 votes·993 views

I'm shocked that Riot is ignoring most of the popular anti lore-retcon threads. After so many views and upvotes on threads criticizing, and pretty overwhelming supporting the removal of this retcon, I find it is a mystery why Riot isn't addressing some of the most popular threads in support in support of removing the retcon.

Let's look at the current situation, when it come to RIot's community involvement with lore.

They won't even tell us who is in charge of the Narrative department.

Compare that to the Riot of years ago, when we could directly consult Rioters in charge of their departments who would answer our questions.

We at least knew who to talk to about different problems.

Now Riot seems to have cloistered off its narrative department.

Back in the day,

Rioters who actually had something to add to the conversation would post, rather than having red comments just say "I can't comment on this since I'm from a different department".

To be fair, Riot posts seem much less common than they used to. Rioters are probably getting more restricted on how they post.

It wouldn't be inconceivable that Rioters are now restricted about what they post.

Heck, with RIot growing as a corporation, it would be expected.

Such a shame. Riot's strength used to be its community involvement, but due their size, they seem either unable or unwilling to provide the community interaction that sold most of us on their game.

If this continues, LoL's dominance as the most popular moba will be in danger. Heck, it already is.

If other game companies are providing games which stay faithful to their lore, rather than retconning their lore as convenient, how will LoL prosper long term?

It seems as late, that LoL is growing less important as a game. I feel that may be do to their decisions about lore.

Post retcon, I feel much less compelled to play this game , and am way less interested in Runeterra.

Although that's just me, one player. Upvote if you feel the same way.

No Rioter has commented on my thread, you don't see me complaining?

Or perhaps you forget the Lore Section of the Forums, before the transition to boards. Do you even know how often they posted on that?

I find that your complaints are caused by a lack of perspective. Compared to the old days, we have basked under a TON of attention, in our compliments to the Narrative/Lore team, and our criticisms.

So please stop the hate-speak.

Sorry if this information is in opposition of you comments, but I think that my opinion that Riot doesn't address comments about it lore as much as it used to is valid.

I don't understand what this "ton of attention" in connection to the lore department are?

Seriously, you sound kinda silly OuttaControl56.

And you Impetual seem pretty silly as well. Every other day you post threads like this. Multiple threads in a day, all with the same meaning to them. It's honestly, and this is a really nasty thing for me to say: really pathetic looking. I honestly thought that when Ironstylus swooped in and basically backhanded you and brought to light all of the points that he did this would cease or at least diminish slightly.

Gah, whatever. Do what you want but for the love of your own sanity find something else to do than keep posting the same threads over and over again. It doesn't do you any favors.

Your opinion is wrong, by fact. So you can keep that opinion, fine, but don't stuff it down everyone's throat twice a day in pointless threads that pretend its a fact.

You were on the Lore Discussion Forum, so I find it borderline insulting that you're acting that the amount of attention that we receive now is different than the attention we were given back in the Forum.

Before three months ago, or the reveal of the new lore and the transition to board, we were averaging about 1 rioter post every 3 months or something.

Compare that to now.

You should take it easier, opening all these topics is not helping your case.
