League of Legends: Book of Lore (Ideas for the Lore Team)

Hi there lore team and League community! I just wanted to share a few ideas I have about the new League lore and how best to tell it.

Now, since the new lore seems to be separate from the game, there to enhance the experience and connection one has to the characters, then I think we need to know much more about it.

It would be way too time consuming as well as money consuming to make a movie or TV show exploring the lore, and the short pieces of lore we get for champs are just that: short. For such an expansive and massive world as Runeterra, I think the most appropriate way to share lore is a book with collections of tales about various champions and their adventures.

There could be one big book housing many tales, or perhaps a few smaller books concerning champions from different regions, like a book about Piltover champs or Demacian ones.

Within these books could be special sections for illustrations, backstory tidbits, or even short graphic novel stories.

I'm thinking the glue that would hold the novels together is the narrative of an old librarian who collected all of these legends about the champions of Runeterra into the books we would read.

Though this would certainly take time, I believe it would be a beautiful way of expanding the ever-growing word of Runeterra, and would get a lot of attention from the thousands of fans who love the lore.

I have attached a picture below of something of what the books may look like.

Thank you very much for reading! I hope you like the idea. Jinx

Actually, if you want full comprehensive League of Legends lore in book form, good news! It allready exists! Go to your nearest general retail store, buy a brand new notebook, unravel the plastic coating and Voila! A Complete and Comprehensive Lore to the LoLverse as Riot envisions it!

More lore is always good.

Lore, backstories, and so-forth. WoW does it, Halo does it... I was surprised to see that LoL didn't do it.

This to me seems like a decent idea of not only expanding on the lore, but also chronicling it in case of any changes. It would also answer some questions like. What does this place look like, what are the people like, the history of this age-ed realm.

Overall I don't think that books would be a good way to deliver lore. It would basically restrict the number of people who are going to read the lore and would exclude those who don't want to pay for it.

It could even cause people to turn away from the lore,because why would you bother with it if you don't want to pay for it and can't get all of it?

A lore book like these images will ruin all the fun. In my opinion Champion lore books are much more entertaining to read especially when its put into chapters. Images are boring, imagination is fun. Please consider my request. Make the book a chapter book. I've enjoyed so many lores but having it in a book is much more easier to read and can someone please share the websites to all LoL lores if there is one. I'm quite sure there is one.

A couple of years ago I think this could have been great. But I voted "No" because I don't trust them to do it well and don't think they have any idea of where they're headed at the moment. If they were to once again have an engaging universe with some attention paid to the story, I'd reconsider.
