Lore versus Game

Rito creates events: pieces of story centered around a new game type and character revamps et cetera... right? Now they've officially abandoned the idea of summoners to simply create good stories. And it seems The Rift as a place is no longer diagetic.

It might just be my 'idiot' thinking, but here's an idea:

How about Rito introduces game types and one-off/unique maps where only participating characters in the story for the event can be played? That way, we as players can live out some of the lore, and not feel this complete disconnect between our champion and the battle.

These characters are cool and all, but if you give us all of this lore, and we're playing this game where none of it actually matters...then you're not really adding to the experience and value of enjoyment we as players get. For instance, if Teemo has a child. And that child is murdered. If Teemo doesn't express out on the Rift his anger and frustration a the world...then does the lore actually carry any weight? If it doesn't actually develop the champions, and show its self off in a kind of interactive manner then the lore hasn't really succeeded at doing anything for the game. There will be readers who read the lore, and there will be players who play the game. Some people might be both, but ultimately all the extra effort means nothing if the two worlds (1.the fiction 2. the interactive experience: fighting on summoner's rift) are entirely disconnected.

For all you care Rito, the Teemo you have built in the lore isn't the same Teemo I play out on the battlefield. Effectively, They might share the same name, but without a link between the fiction and the game, all this creative writing revamping is meaningless.

It to me is an incredible shame that it is solely the player's choice to decide whether or not to 'project (verb)' the lore they know about a character onto it while they fight in The Rift.

Arguably my opinion means nothing, I'm still a relatively new player.

For the poll at the bottom:

1. I agree. Lore is meaningless/pointless/useless/ adds nothing to my experience without being connected to the game.

2. No. Lore is fun even if disconnected from the experience.
