Should probably get rid of this page if you've changed the lore...

Riot, do you have a team that works on your website? Because its pretty straight forward you don't have a lore team anymore.

I agree it's kinda stupid. Riot may try to say that players of their game are still summoners, but really, within this game summoner has become just another word for gamer.

Summoners don't exist within the League of Legends anymore. Heck, the League of Legends doesn't exist within League of Legends anymore. What a crock.

Alongside the countless champions' quotes/lore directly referring to the existence of summoners and the god dam "Summoner's Rift".

Who thought that was a great idea to redo the entire lore?

Simple tweaks would be sufficient, and here I am still being fascinated over the Baron, Jax, Aatrox, High Councilor Reginald Ashram etc etc AND THE MORDE JOKE!!!.

F you Rito y u do dis!

We exist outside of the "meta" of LoL lore, but within the realm we reside we refer to ourselves as summoners. Why? Because it's cooler that way. It's not a retcon, it's a juxtaposition of canon and non-canon.

It's like Super Smash Brothers.

Except before the Retcon, we were directly involved in the world of the game. When Summoners in the League of justice were mentioned, that was us, the players.

Now it's just a "Well crap, the players still want to be called summoners even though we decided those aren't a thing."

They said we're still called summoners. I believe the League is a separate entity from the LoL universe itself. Not canon, but still a thing.

If it's not canon, it's not really a thing. "Summoner" is only a synonym for "player" at this point. Sure, we're summoners in-game, but in-game doesn't have any relevance to canon anymore. Without any canon relevance, our moniker is rendered virtually meaningless.

Well they say that ingame players are still going to be referred to as summoners,so this one actually still makes sense as the players who play the game league of legends(not the institute)are still referred as summoners and can still power up their champions with these things and I think the maps are still referred to as fields of justice.

Its a bit misleading,but technically not wrong.

In-game players... what. No. Calling any of us a Summoner in this game is legitimately just calling us a player. The term has no real contextual backbone, just some hollow endearment.

Any reference to Summoners is effectively non-canon to whatever lore we're being force fed.

I can't wait until Riot actually goes through and massively sweeps out every reference to Summoners in the game. It'll be hilarious watching the game lose its charm.
