Is there Lore behind Summoners Rift Announcer?

You see, I'm arguing with my friend over the lore of the league of legends announcer and as it turns out, I can't actually find any. Please,

  • What or who is this announcer?
  • How does she spread her voice over an entire map?
  • Why does she do it?

Her name is Jessimca. She is the spirit of Summoners Rift that was torn from her earthly confines by the destruction of the Rune Wars. Jessimcais cursed to spectate and announce the repeated slaughter of various super beings day after day after day.

As far as we know... No, and it shoulndt... why? Because the game is not conected with the lore, even if the Rift is a place of Runeterra, there are no battles in that place... which means that there is no person that "announces" those battles.

The game is connected to the lore. The champion voice lines relate to their lore.

Not always, for example, Taliyah has never seen Ekko in her life, but she has interactions towards him... those interactions arent canon.

Those interactions indeed are still canon. The written lore you read is an incomplete storyline to the champions in League of Legends. There is no day-to-day record of each champion's life.

Because there are interactions between champions as such, that means they have crossed paths at some point or another.

Riot wouldn't just throw in voice lines to have champions talk to each other like they know one another, if they have never met before nor heard of the other's reputation.

When you bring skins into the picture, that is when it is no longer canon.

Except that they did that.

But why would Braum go to piltover and meet caitlyn? When would he go to noxus and talk with alistar but not free him? Why would Taliyah ever go to zaun, a city of metal, not earth? When Why would Jhin talk to katarina or anyone else? He's a sniper, he wouldn't be talking to his victims. Those things are only there because it makes for interesting ineractions.

Oh, and when would Camille have not only gone to mount targon but also met with their secret space dragon?

League of Legends is not canon to League of Legends

This is why we should've kept Gangplank.

There used to be a lore that involved summoner's rift in gladiator combat and she was the announcer. Now she's non-canon, just like the rest of the game.
