@Riot, I'm Done Trying To Be Being Polite, Your Retcon Idea Is Totally Stupid! Realize It!

The lore retcon simplifies lore in such a way that it feels really commercialized and similar to other moba's lore.

LoL had a cool interesting narrative for its lore that set it apart from other mobas, yet Riot doesn't seem to want to support that any longer.

The Institute of War was a defining part of LoL's History and I'm really sad to see it go.

The concept of Summoners participating in the battles was inspired and felt really cool! Why did they get retconned out?

The League of Legends actually existing within Runeterra's lore was pretty cool too.

Impetual can I ask you some questions? I'm curious.

The lore retcon simplifies lore in such a way that it feels really commercialized and similar to other moba's lore.

What mobas are you referring to?

The concept of Summoners participating in the battles was inspired and felt really cool! Why did they get retconned out?

Did you not read the big blog post thing they had? You know the one that basically said why they were taking things in a new direction and said why they were retconning stuff?

You've been polite in your other threads? They seemed pretty loud and accusatory to me.

I'm not referring to other Mobas. To me it feels like champion lore is being simplified to appeal to the lowest common denominator, hence why I feel it is being commercialized. I hope I don't need to simplify that further.
That explanation was really half assed and didn't make much sense. Did you actually read it and buy that bullshit?
I somewhat disagree. I'm usually not very rude to any particular Rioter. Quote me if I'm wrong, I think that I may have only gone slightly overboard once or twice.

You stopped being polite when you started to spam threads on the boards.

He hasn't been "polite" since the retcon was announced. :)

Kinda wonder what Impetual spends his/her days doing out of sheer morbid curiosity.

Dear lord, thats sad, and delusional of him.

I totally disagree. I would advocate that the majority of my posts could be considered polite, barring the odd deviation.

Define Spamming.

2-3 days a week, I probably post 2-3 threads. It's not like I'm posting 3 threads per day.

What is spamming to you?

If I may ask a question,would the lore be better if the Retcon didn't happen? To me,the Retcon added to the problems of LOL lore.It didn't introduce problems.There would still be a low amount of communication,low amount of released content & huge amount of underdeveloped characters/regions/storylines/plotpoints/etc.

Whether you think the retcon itself was a good idea or not is one thing,let's not act like the lore was perfect before it.Undoing the Retcon won't magically fix these problems.

But it would fix a hell of a lot of those problems!
