Short lore videos (With Poll)

So I just read http://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/2016/11/ask-riot-league-on-the-big-screen/ and I have to say, a league movie would be awesome, but they also mentioned http://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_US/ and the lore of league of legends on there. I thought it would be awesome if they made short videos (and this is going to sound bad) like overwatch does. Like I would love to see a short video narrated by the characters(for example Tahm's teaser) voice telling their story with animation, art, etc. Like I would love to see a lore video of basically any champion.

I don't get why people have such a gut reaction to follow a good idea just because they don't like the source.

But yes I think the Overwatch vids are good and would much prefer getting a couple of those a year than a dozen 30 second cinematic glimpses because of a new champ or skin.

Admittedly nothing Riot's done recently has been as boring as Taliyah's cinematic but take the recent Lux skin. It's fine cinematography and visuals but it is inherently meaningless. It's just a fight with a monster with no context while a fairly generic voice over happens overtop. They have the ability to make beautiful cinematics, there are definitely people on these boards that love their lore, making those two facets go hand in hand.

But what do I know. I'm not a part of the Riot business strategy.
