@Riot narrative team, could you respond to constructive lore threads?

For years it seems like Riot doesn't care about what LoL players think about lore.

It would be really nice to get some feedback on some of the more constructive lore threads.

It's understandable that you wouldn't respond to anything close minded or hostile, but it seems to me that some of the most constructive posts about lore are going ignored.

Here are some examples:

Riot's Narrative team is currently leaderless.

TommyGnox says he left Riot to go back to his family, but the most cynical part of me thinks that someone higher up in the company suggested a rethink of the whole ret-con plans because of the backlash, Tommy said "no," and they agreed to not work with each other.

Still, without a leader, Narrative won't say anything. No one on that team wants to be held accountable for anything, lest they get popped for it down the line. So, they wait in silence, doing the little jobs they're asked to do on occasion, and wait for someone else to take the leadership role so they have someone to hide behind when things go bad.

At least, that's what I'm thinking right now.

Riot seems to be less interested in commenting or entertaining community ideas these days. Sure, alot of the commentary has been hostile and sometimes with good reason. But if you can't handle some unhappy players, and are then going to just dodge them, that doesn't set a particularly good example. Alot of the feedback is friendly and even pleading and is also ignored.
