Shuriman Lore

The Shurima characters had their lore removed and redone for the event. We are now left with about two flavorless, crappy sentences for each of them INCLUDING NEWEST CHAMP AZIR!!

Way to get the ball rolling with a new lore. Now we have a website that shows champs have allies and rivals and DOESN'T EXPLAIN IT, and new lore pages that BARELY EXPLAIN THE CHAMP.

Want to know what interesting lore would be? Why Gnar and Heimerdinger are allies, and why Gnar and Lulu are allies. Why we see those things on a website telling us they are friends or enemies. THE STORY.

Here's an example of boring lore: Amumu "Amumu is a diminutive, animated cadaver who wanders the world, trying to discover his true identity. He rose from an ancient Shuriman tomb bound in corpse wrappings with no knowledge of his past, consumed with an uncontrollable sadness."

DEAR GOD HE'S A MUMMY THAT'S DEAD?!? AND SAD?!? HOLD THE PHONE, I NEVER NOTICED THAT! Those sentences are currently LIVE in the game. There are low budget horror movies that throw a better pitch than that. Come on, that's just lazy and doesn't actually tell you anything you didn't know just by looking at him.

Maybe it's just for the Shurima characters, maybe there's something else to this, some characters got new lore that aren't even really relevant to the Shurima(Rammus). I'd really lose a lot of respect if this is the only thing that happens to the lore, cause as it is sets a precedence that quite frankly is generic and lazy. The standard has been set with characters in the past, new ones even. If I'm expected to accept lore that removes my immersion within the game, I think I deserve a quality better than this.

...You've missed the boat on this one by like a month, man. The full lore for those characters is still supposed to be incoming, but it's going to be posted on the website instead, according to Red Posts you can find on S@20 or the old Lore Forums, as well as Carnival Knights posts here.

"Cassiopeia is a terrifying creature - half woman, half snake - whose slightest glance brings death. The youngest daughter of one of Noxus' most influential families, she was once a beautiful and cunning temptress capable of manipulating the hardest heart. Transformed by the venom of an ancient Shuriman tomb guardian, she continues to serve Noxian interests as she always has, just in a more... visceral way." -Cassiopeia

"Known as the Battle Mistress, Sivir is a mercenary with a ruthless reputation. Combining unflinching bravery with endless ambition, she has garnered great fame and fortune. Faced with the revelation of her mysterious heritage, Sivir must weigh her desire to continue on her own path, or accept the burden of a greater legacy." -Sivir

"Renekton was once a staunch gatekeeper of ancient Shurima, but in the centuries since the fall of that once-glorious empire, he has been consumed by madness. Now, he is little more than a rage-fueled beast who seeks to kill his brother Nasus, who he believes is to blame for his current state of mind." -Renekton

"To some, Nasus is a demigod who walks among the ruins of an ancient civilization; to others, he is nothing more than a myth. Legend speaks of his dominion over death and time. Millennia ago, he stood at the apex of Shuriman society as curator and guardian. He now roams the arid wastes, seeking to release his brother Renekton from the grip of madness." -Nasus

"The mysteries that surround Rammus are numerous. How did a simple creature of the desert suddenly become able to reason? How did he craft his vaunted suit of armor? What is he searching for as he crosses the Shuriman desert? One thing is for certain: trying to stop the inexorable Rammus is a fool's mission." -Rammus

"Powerful beyond reckoning, the Ascended being known as Xerath was once a mortal of flesh and blood. He is now something vastly different - a being of writhing arcane energy. Having emerged from millennia-spanning imprisonment, he is now ready to unleash his power upon Runeterra, and utterly destroy any who oppose him." Xerath

"The largest and fiercest of her species, Rek'Sai is a merciless predator that tunnels through the earth to ambush and devour her prey. Her insatiable hunger has laid waste to entire regions of the once-great Shuriman empire. Merchants, traders and armed caravans will go hundreds of miles out of their way to avoid these vast areas, though cunning bandits have been known to lure the unwary into her killing grounds. Once Rek'Sai detects you, your fate is sealed. There is no hope of escape; she is death from below the sand." -RekSai

These short things you guys at Riot call "Lore" needs to change. I understand there are the full lores, but I don't want to have to search for it. It should be within the champion. Give us a store like Braum's, or Sejuani's. Get them in the game please Riot. Or at least tell us what you are working on. Please. Communicate with us.
