Be careful what you wish for.

Read everything Narrative has said about the League, in its arguments for why it needed to remove the League of Legends from the lore of League of Legends. Note especially its really simplistic conception of the League as a bunch of all-powerful wizards enslaving Champions, something the lore community rejected literally years ago.

Do you really want these people actively rewriting the League universe?

I'd rather they focus on creating pretty multimedia events that add some general flavor to the universe every now and then, without any ambitious attempts to rewrite the plot.

Lol, you're right.

But really, it makes you think about how bad things are when you can't trust a company to properly handle its own lore anymore.

Agreed

but hey, this may sound hypocritical coming from me, but you should try to be constructive.

Riot employees are currently doing what is best for this game/their jobs.

I understand that the lack of communication is frustrating, but I'm pretty sure there must be some pretty bad stuff happening within the lore department staff which is causing the lack of content Riot is capable of providing.

Let's just hope Riot get's their shit together quickly and starts producing lore to the quality and quantity that they used too.

5 Red Posts in this thread alone, roughly as many as we got in the entire first half of 2013 on the Lore Discussion boards back when they were a thing.

no lore release

Sion Reborn Azir Arizen Xerath Unbound Kalista Videos Rek'Sai Diary Harrowing Timeline Amumu Lore

Complain about the content if you like, but we've gotten more Lore than in the post JoJ-Shurima Event period.

That was an artist working on Foundations. Hardly call that lore posts. Where's the writers? Perhaps someone working on the grand scale of things, the direction of the new lore.

Azir/Xerath/Amumu haven't been released, they've just been put on the forums. The Kalista video wasn't lore, it was just a pretty video showcasing Kalista. Reborn/diary/Harrowing were great.

as from what i read....it was gonna be more... then just champ release stories....which happens everytime a champ is release......thats now really what were talking about. That happens all the time.

Xerath and Azir being the fodder of the Shurima event, which isnt a surprise at all. Same with Sion and the rest of the champs you mentioned. That happens every champion release. Amumu's was probably an Accident, and thats not even released....
