"Lore" Doesn't exist to RIOT

Bloodhawk95·Oct 23, 2015·6 votes·896 views

It just doesn't. RIOT seems content with making the "lore" for champions 2-3 sentences long and calling it a day. Wheres the back story? Where's the connection players are looking for in their favorite champions? Hell, where is the complexity of sentence structure and length higher than that of a 1st grader? Seriously RIOT, the amount of laziness you guys show in every aspect of the game besides pumping out new skins all the time (which seems to be the only damn thing you care about), is more ridiculous than my procrastination on my 11th grade English final.

Um......Burning Tides. And I just completely countered your BS point. How?It proves that the Narrative Rioters ARE working hard on the lore.I believe they are working on the extended lore for many champs while producing original stories as well.I believe the Foundation team is working on building the world region by region.I believe the lore is going through some rehabilitation after it's long coma & will become more active on a regular basis.

Also,Riot is have teams for different things.The skins team is it's own team who aren't responsible for the action or inaction of any of the other team.

they are working on lore right now, like the shadow isles, they are getting a giant lore update, and in the near future, they are doing it to shurima as well, once they get every champion, and all the lores in order, they are going to work on the worlds lore once again :D

Sounds good to me. Any time i go in to a champions lore and its literally 3 sentences long, and not even a lore of any form at that, im just very dissapointed. I failed english class every year in HS besides freshman year and i could write better lore.

In the client, as they have said numerous times, is just going to be a short form introduction to the basic theme of the champion. To get the full lore, you go to the champions page on the website

It's been about a year and we haven't seen many updates for champions.

Perhaps start with Burning Tides, Azir's, Fiora's, Kindred's, etc.

Kindreds lore on the game may be ahort but a good death is also their lore its just not easy to get to you gotta dig for.it

Not....easy? It's legit on the website itself, and you can find it on the wiki as well.

On the full topic of the lore "issue", champions actually have a fair bit more lore now then they did back when the league was a thing, Kindred alone has a normal lore for back in the day AND 2 whole stories featuring them.

Yeah people tend to forget that the old lore didn't treat the champs very equal. All champs got a lore back then,but only some had a league judgement. The new lore format pretty much wants to give all champs a lore,an additional story and even more lore pieces related to the champ(like ekkos comic,bards video,tahm kenchs story,etc.),it simply slacks behind a bit,because they had a lot of restructuring going on and it is simply much more than what they did in the past.

They are working on lore. Lots of it. They're creating a whole new world of lore. These things take time.

I just hope you didn't get attached to the old world though, because Riot stopped caring about that one. They'll just cherrypick what they like from it and retcon the rest. Makes you wonder when they'll start their next retcon. Two years? Five?
