Okay Riot, can we stop the BS?

Just a little reminder that it's been 6 months since you posted this wonderful dev log detailing your thoughts and plans to "push League’s story beyond its original focus on explaining in-game action and forge a new narrative path for Runeterra – a world in which the factions and champions we all know and love have full freedom to grow, travel, and kick ass on a worldwide scale".

Well, we're still waiting on all of the promises you've laid out. Most of the cast has had no revision to its lore, even for those that depended directly on the existence of the League. Jax, Fiddlesticks, Lee Sin, Nocturne... all these guys currently have no reason to exist. World-building outside of character releases has been nothing short of absent. Communication from the dev-team? Non-existent. These are all things you've told us you would do, for which you were criticized in the past and continue to be criticized for today.

For lack of a better term Riot, can you cut the crap and just give us some content?

Maokai too, League is the very reason why he is even moving, and a lot of his quotes either refer directly to the existence of someone keeping him in leash or commenting on how the overuse of magic only cause tragedy etc.

And RIP Morde's humour.

Six months?! So much time, so little lore content.

Lack of content is one thing.Games like the Last of Us & movies like Guardians of the Galaxy weren't made in 6 months.So to me,lack of content isn't a problem so long as they are working on making quality content. BUT,you know what doesn't take 6 months to do?Communicate.And in those 6 months,there haven't been any substantial amount of serious,back & forward communication.My annoyance with this is less about their lack of communication,but more so their constant talk of wanting better communication..............and then not following through.Actions speak louder than words & history show us that they're not walking what they're talking.At this point,I would prefer they stop barking & start biting down on their keyboards with their fingers.

Nerf Lee Sin first

To be honest, I would even go as far as removing ALL the lore until the whole lore system is properly revised. I've read several pieces of lore that have been "reworked" into a single paragraph, and they looked like the work of a fourth grader rushing for an assignment due overnight. If something isn't ready, its place is on the drawing board, not on public display.

Well, without LoL, Noxus just gas-nuked the world and insanely powerful mages were left to run free, thus destroying the world and all the people and lore on it. Everything held captive in the IoW is just sorta... free to do whatever they want.

Riot is going to drag their feet with the lore because they don't make money off of telling stories, they make money off of skins. The lore you loved has now been completely retconned? Who cares, buy skins, don't make us do stuff.

Oh, you mean you didn't see this coming?

You weren't expecting more empty promises?

You thought Narrative would actually have meaningful conversations with us?

Oh, you poor, poor fool.
