IT'S EVERYTHING I COULD HAVE ASKED FOR! Is Rammus a god? Demi-god? ascended? last of a species? did he save people for food? to protect those people? to save his land? who knows, THATS why its so good

The best part of this lore is how few fucks he gives about everything. "Oh look at that. The last fuck I give. Rolling away, into the sand."

Yeah your right but I kinda like that the community has been more positive then not about Rammus lore. I think its an obvious case of comparing to Amumu's lore which not many liked because Amu did nothing and effectively was more myth than real. Which I can also assume only makes the readers less attached to the character. Compared to good guy Rammus, had in his lore him actually doing stuff even if some of it was through the retellings of others and most of his actions might have been just acts of randomness or convenient circumstances. But if you're really into the League lore like most nerds in this forum, then the story reads a lot more genuinely and authentically then some of the other dribble that gets released sometimes.

Here's to nerds getting exactly what they anticipated for and not getting so flustered by it. Pat on the back for everyone.

I think something people overlook in Amumu's lore is that he IS supposed to be real, but unlike Rammus where that fact is very explicit in Amumu's case it's only said subtly at the end of the secondary story piece.

Yeah you've kinda just rephrased what I said and I don't think people have overlooked Amumu or questioning whether he's meant to be real or not. I'm just saying others fans feel like they cant get invested into Amu's based on his lore alone because the writing is structured like a campfire story told by everyone except the source character. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the Amu story. I do also think people criticizing Amumu's lore are a lil unjustified but I fully understand the reason why they don't appreciate it. Any way Amu isnt the topic of discussion here, we're here to acknowledge the admiration of Rammus lore not the slight disappointment of Amumu's.

i love the lore in this game but seriously the rammus lore is the best next to skarner, azir and xerath
