Let's be honest - if the extended lore did exist in any shape or form, it would have been released along with the retcon back in September, and the narrative team wouldn't keep either avoiding the forums altogether or transferring to another position within the company as soon as they did try to talk to fans and found out how everyone feels about the situation.

Nobody sane would announce a retcon without having the new lore completely prepared. Not unless they wanted to permanently wreck their credibility as a writer and become famous for inability to plan ahead.

My bet is that the extended lore never existed and Riot are just confusing promotional materials with lore again. As shocking as it might sound, they did it in the past. According to them, Jinx's music video, Braum's 10-second teaser that doesn't actually show him, Vi and Lucian's theme songs, all of that is actually lore.

I'm very sorry sorry to tell you this, but I think your mistake was assuming that it existed in the first place.

In my opinion, LoL's Lore is pretty much dead.

But I still have a shred of hope that Riot will see the light and find their way again with their lore.

They already said months ago "We'll have it in a few weeks" "We just need to fix something" They also mentioned that if they cannot present it how they want to, they'll post it on the boards. Now with this being said Amumu's went on PBE, if I'm correct, already. It's been a really long time since they promised it. I'm sitting here waiting for it, and kind of getting tired of waiting.

To be fair, they did post some longer champ bio's on the new boards.

That being said, you are totally right.

There is no reason why Riot shouldn't have been able to take care of their technical issues by this point and have the longer lore on the website.

While I disagree with them that complete lore shouldn't be on the client, there is no excuse that the complete lore for each champion shouldn't be available on the client by now.

The Lore retcon was announced months ago, while to me, it ruins Runeterra, it's obvious that it should at least be over and done with by now.

Seriously Riot, don't announce it if it isn't ready!

Yeah it is kinda weird that they don't give us the full lores already.

as far as i know amumus lore is on the pbe data,but actually not viewable in the game client or anything. Which shows that they seem to have already some of these long lores finished,but simply don't show them yet.

And I honestly don't understand why they are doing this. I can understand their plan to give us a full and a short lore,but there is absolutely no point in only giving us the short lores until they solved their technical problems.

You guys do know that its been the holidays right? my guess is that even if the lore was ready, no ones there to do their jobs because they're on vacation. This past month should have be considered a wash... If they were able to, I wouldn't expect anything from anyone at riot until at least a week or 2 into the new year.
