Will Ornn finally settle The Ice Queen War for The Freljord?

Knalxz··4 votes·517 views

Honestly it upsets up that none of the major story points of LoL have ever finished.

Shurima, Still a desert full of giant man beasts, with a creepy obsession with itself.

The Freljord Is Skyrim but all the Jarl's are women and yet there is somehow more shouting and less killing. (Tryndamere isn't important, he's just Ashe's Louisiana Purchase)

Noxus and Demacia, Stuck reenacting Anakin vs Obi-Wan's fight at Mustafar, but it's none of the cool stuff just the twirl scene. (Ebony Wyverns people, yet we see none of that action)

Ionia, Is just every Asian stereotype, expect they complain constantly about suffering and ignoring how OP they are.

Zaun and Piltover, Is like a relationship where the people can't decide who's the bottom But since the retcon, IT'S LITERALLY ZAUN!

Mount Torgon Started the wrap things up then Sol was like "HAW HAW! STARS!" Eye Laser sounds*

Bligewater and The Shadow Isles Had no one else to play with and just started killing each other.

The Void, Is still waiting for it's event!

AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST FURRIES! JUST! FURRIES!

Can we get one major plot point that is wrapped up? Even the champion's personal stories have gone little to nowhere. The best thing we've gotten was MF vs Gangplank but they just switched roles.

Honestly the war of the 3 sisters is something that is going on for hundreds of years in the lore. It won't just be solved just like that. If Ashe becomes queen,then the war would still go on as the other 2 wouldn't accept that(or Lissandra would act like she does and backstab Ashe eventually).

The war will likely end with the destruction of the other 2 tribes,that isn't something that can be done just like that.Especially since we can't even be sure what is still canon and what not.

Perhaps asking for a permanent solution to any of these conflicts is too much to ask. League is not a novel or an MMO, with different story states. We have to still be able to play as always have, so that gives two sorts of options, as I see it.

You can resolve conflicts in ways that do not significantly change anything (see: anime). This often feel unsatisfying.

You can advance the story without resolving the conflict. For this, look at Burning Tides, specifically, Gangplank. They essentially updated his character after the horrific damage done to him when his ship detonated, and gave everyone his old version free.

But Anime's actually progress with their story arcs, LoL just stagnates.

Champions can be defeated and still live on in some way and plot points can be finished to start new ones.

Example, what happens after Shurima is returned to it's former glory? Other powerful countries like Noxus and Demacia now have an other card player to deal with. This sets up new allies and enemies for either side.

It could even turn the Two Way Conflict into a Three Way or into forced allegiances to combat a greater foe.

What if the Freljord unites during this 3 way conflict. What others could be thrown into this mess?

Didn't say anything about bandle city,except the Furry part

Anyway,i think they didn't finish any "battle" lore because then there is a reaason for all the champs to be on the rift against each other. If all the conflicts were in some way ended,then most champs would go away from there based on their lore. And yeah,a lot of lores still have the summoner's league and all that. I would actually love to bring back that instead of finishing these ones,maybe having the summoners thing being in the middle of everything,controlling the world and settling disputes with their arena (i think there are some films with this kind of story too)

So you mean I've said everything about Bandle City?

Birbonius1 votes

Exactly.

Except we don't know why they're obsessed with war machinery and tactics (Teemo and tristana,Rumble's Mech,all of Heim's weapons),and who else is on the bandle gunners.

Okay, buddy?

-Half of the world isn't finished yet. The lore is still being retconned to fit the new direction for Runeterra; Heck, there are still references to summoners and the institute in the lore. -You say that MF and GP "switched roles" like it was nothing. -Shurima IS advancing; Xerath's motives have been revealed and he's been shown marching on the newly resurrected Azir. (hell, Azir's introduction was an advancement for the region, when you think about it)

Yes, waiting sucks, but bitching about it like this doesn't help matters. Have some f#$@ing patience.

The lore got retconned years ago. I think that's enough time for a team of writers to come up wit ha story for the world.

Hell, If Riot would accept it as canon, I'd write the damn lore myself. I don't mind doing it for free, as long as shit gets done.

There are over 130 champions, each of whom need their lore updated at some point. It needs to be consistent both with the region they inhabit and the world of Runeterra, without contradiction or deviation. All of this needs to be updated in a way that is consistent with the previous characterization of each champion and their kits on the rift, allows for the introduction of new elements (see the Vastaya) and keeps all the fans happy.

This is all on top of the fact that the primary function of League is to be a good video game. You need to think constantly about item optimization, the creation of new champions to keep interest up, game and skill balance, runes, masteries, the current state of the community, tournaments, rumors...

You look at all of this and say "yeah, I can do a better job, faster". That's ignoring that the world HAS advanced and changed, it's just not doing so on a worldwide scale.

Have you ever done any world-building? I have. Doing it well, with this many factions, important characters, and cultures is a freaking nightmare I'd wish on no man.

EDIT: Look, I get it, okay? It's going very slowly and that sucks balls. But I'd rather Noxus be as well fleshed out as Demacia a year from now than to be Lord Zedd's palace 5 minutes from now. A rushed game is bad forever, a delayed game is eventually good. (story in this case, but you get the idea)

Okay I'm pissed right now because I had a massive post explaining why Riot is just terribly slow at world building and with a team of writers has no excuse for the huge delay. I've written 8 book since I've graduated from high school in 2013. Some standalone, others apart of a series I call Legacy.

While I was listing off the various books I'm currently writing I was going to give you a small passage to read to show you my writing skills but I couldn't decide which story you seemed the most interested in so I settled on Journey to The Frost Throne since the topic at hand has to do with snow and shit.

Well, I had about 15 tabs open tried to open a new one and exited out of that webpag. So I had to relog in, had to dive into the this side of the boards, then manually find this thread because I used the response tab before and I didn't save your response because I assumed you'd respond to this original comment so I could find it again. I then had a to try and find a way to make it seem like I'm not just an idiot who has no idea what their talking about and now wondering if you'll even believe that any of this happened because I don't want to rewrite pages of explanation and want to go play some Overwatch to let out the rage.
