The way lore is set up now is actually really cool

So I started playing Camille a bit, and I think she's a super cool champion, both stylistically and playstyle-wise. I wanted to know a little more about her lore, so I first check the League client where the champion bio used to be, and I only found just a small little blurb. Pretty much nothing there. Well, I knew League kinda had a lore revamping moment and there were some rough spots here and there (at least for me), so I know that there is lore available outside of the client, so I just Google "camille lore" and the first result is the universe.leagueoflegends page for Camille, and I can just scroll through the page and read her bio there. Along with the bio I can read the super cool comic, which, through the artwork, gives me a little more of an idea of how she would fight and traverse terrain with her grapple hook that I can't really see in-game. Even just on the universe.leagueoflegends site I can look at all of the other tidbits and pieces of lore for other things in the League universe, like artwork of Piltover which I think is SUPER cool. (An open-world RPG set in the League universe would be the sickest thing ever.)

So yeah I just thought I'd bring this all up. I was a bit disenchanted with the League lore after a certain point, but ultimately I can see how taking the "League"/summoner aspect outside of the lore really opened up a lot more for creative opportunities. Also, trimming down the bio page in the client was just a good move layout-wise, while centralizing all the heavier chunks of lore onto a dedicated lore website is great to expose the rest of the League universe into immediate proximity of anyone interested in the League lore. Cool beans Rito. Gj.

Back in my day we had the Journal of Justice, and then nothing, for years!

I agree, and Camille’s a super cool character. As a side note though I’d love a “Universe” tab in the League client that allows you to explore the longer-form stories/bios/comics/etc.

You know, the thing with institute of war and summoners in general since Riot kinda hinted they are working on it

Really? I thought it was quite permanently put out of existence.

they got obliterated. Summoners exist in some form as a thematic icon, rather as individuals in the lore ( as referencing the player as the summoner, since it still gameplay-wise summon champions ).

If you like camille's lore you should read her short story. https://universe.leagueoflegends.com/en_SG/story/camille-weakest-heart/ You won't be dissapointed.

My judgement is saved entirely on what they do with my angel lovers Morgana and Kayle. They better not do poorly or ruin them.

I love the stories they post and the setup they have, but I can't stand the comics. I guess it's just me, but turning a story into comic form just ruins it. And it looks like they are making them more common.
