Champions Are Now National Figures Rather Than Global Ones. They've Had Their Lore Downgraded.

Since the retcon, we haven't had a single example of inter-faction lore.

Zero. Zip. None. After after a year, and still no end date in sight.

Lore bio's have pretty much been shortened across the board, with longer bio's in the works.... bio's that never seem to actually come or be actually acknowledged in any serious way.

I'm sorry to rehash things, but seriously, how is lore better now!? In pretty much every way to compare it, it seems worse!

It's been over a year since the retcon, we've had a cool few events with national impact (with no global issues actually even happening yet, just relatively small scale stuff only).

The Kalamanda event was better than pretty much every lore event released post retcon. Lore hasn't improved since the retcon. It's gotten worse.

Riot hasn't event managed to make Runeterra make sense yet, assuming it's still called Runeterra, and this game is still going to be called the "League of Legends" for some reason even though it doesn't exist anymore.

I miss the little stories I'd hear about the champions every few weeks. I miss the lighthearted yet connected lore the "League of Legends" provided.

BTW: None of the post retcon stories would have been prevented by the Institute of War if it still existed. There was no reason to get rid of it assuming there were competent writers available to write around it when necessary.
