I have an idea why lore could be taking so long

On the riot games careers page there is a section for "Research and Development" http://www.riotgames.com/careers/32642

It's basically doing stuff to make other games in addition to league.

What if the reason lore has been taking so long is because they're trying to make a second game which is actually in the world of league, or a number of games in different areas of it? So that instead of reading up on the lore, we play through the lore ourselves.

It's probably not what's going on, but it would explain why all the narrative people have such high hopes for it, and why it's been taking so long.

Hey I'd be all about more games in the League universe, especially lore filled ones!

I think I know the reason.

If an ape is set before a typewriter and mashes random buttons, he will eventually write all of Shakespeare's works. It'd take billions of years, but the laws of probability would eventually set in.

Now, since apes don't need to get paid (except in food) and Rito can use that money for e$ports, they decided to try that approach. It might take a year or billion, but hey... you can watch that flashy Lee insec for 135th time while you wait.

Nah, it's just "tech issues".

Or that rewriting history is just hard work.

I just want to pop in and say to any Rioter reading this that THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA.

No offense to the OP. I just definitely don't want that, and want Riot to hear that opinion.

One has nothing to do with the other.
