Why can't we have Lore theories like these?

I'm a big lore fan and the idea that Slacks could actually make this series. Meanwhile League really hasn't had much in terms of lore theories aside from "Zed is Nocture" which is getting really too old at this point. There's definitely lore, but the lore has been rather limiting in terms of actually new theories spawning (. Like seriously, when was the last time we managed to get a really cool theory?

In fact this was almost explicitly stated as a possibility in the /dev post On Story Hooks that actually allowed Riot to get away with not finishing Region lore? (Looking at and here)

Because no one does them anymore. Instead, a lot of people feel like Sharjo is the only one to have the right answers about lore, and will side with anything Malicious Metal says about the lore. If it's not someone people like, they wont really bother too much. It wasn't like that before until people felt the need to just rely on certain peoples opinion.

It use to be theories like that alot in the more recent days of boards and the old lore forum

Partly I think the problem is Riot seems like they're really focusing on updating everything to a consistent standard at the moment so they're not stretching out too far with possibilities yet. Other than the two you mentioned, Kayle and Morgana are another big two that really need complete reworks for their lores since they read like giant outliers right now. Soraka's lore should be redone too. I won't be surprised if they do an event for Bandle City (which I would love Riot pls). I don't know anything about DOTA so I can't make a guess at how their writing process works but I think Riot's not going to give us truly large, interesting openings in the narrative until everything's updated to the new standard.

I mean I did post a fat theory yesterday but it got buried under all the Rakan & Xayah posts.

People are theorizing all of the time, I guess there isn't anyone to take the time to make a video on them, though. Just recently, Darkin were confirmed as the weapons and not the wielders so Varus's bow could easily be a Darkin. The Great Void War has been introduced as something that happened apparently, which ties into Icathian theorization, which has implications for Kassadin, Malzahar, and Jax.

Probably the most shocking theory recently was of Vi and Jinx's origin and how Warwick could've been their father/guardian before he got swiped by Singed.

There's a huge theory that is stickied onto the front page of the board Here

There a plenty of theories, just gotta be lookin for 'em.
