@Riot, I Think You Currently Don't Produce Enough Non-Event Lore. Could We Get More Again?

Impetual··7 votes·646 views

One of the things that really got me into LoL was the lore. I loved how we would get lore updates every two weeks. Runeterra really felt alive and thriving!

We would even get information about the random stuff like Morgana's bakery or Blitzcrank's Fleshling Compatibility Service.

Heck, I still remember an awesome lore story of Jax and Gragas wrecking up a bar! It was awesome! LoL's story felt alive!

It actually felt like stuff was going on in the day to day life of Runeterra!

I'd love to get that kind of lore back!

**Riot Please, produce it once again! **

@Riot your lore and characters is the edge that you have against other MOBAs that are starting to surface. Don't throw away what makes you special.

It would be awesome if you would start producing small and semi- frequent lore updates like you used to about what was going on in Runeterra, because right now, players have no idea of the day to day affairs of Runeterra.

We used to have that, and now we don't. The fact that Riot's taken a huge step backwards for supporting Runeterra's lore (despite it's past success) still really hurts.

What's up with that Riot?

I know right!

For some reason, Riot's only been producing the serious kinda lore regarding big events in Runeterra.

They seem to have forgotton about producing the the silly funny stuff.

It seems like it's all about the event lore now - A mediocre amount of lore all being released within a few weeks so that it feels like more than it is, followed by months of silence and stagnation.

That isn't how Riot managed the League of Legends in it's early days, and I see no reason why their quality and quantity should have such a huge drop in spite of the success that it's had.

I really wish Riot would continue providing good little bits of lore like that. Its one of the main reasons why I left when dawngate's open beta was released. Dawngate actually did that, weekly lore updates that not only were amusing and interesting, but allowed us as the community to decide some pretty Major lore decisions. Like did Ziri go with Mustache or Big Fat Sand Thief. I also want to know a lot more about certain groups we have (namely Vi(VI), Jinx(X), and Ekko(XII) cause I am REALLY interested in that group as a whole.

I totally agree. I think Riot needs to really re-think it's current process of producing lore, and look back to the lore production system it was using while it was busy becoming one of the most popular games in the world.

These days, lore updates are so few and far between that Runeterra feels stagnant.

I mean seriously, when is the last time we've had a lore release that's involved multiple champions across multiple factions....Well, that used to happen alot pre-retcon...these days....not so much. As much as you may hate to agree with me, you gotta admit, it's true.
