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 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.
