This just came to me, but I believe that the removal of the IoW was planned since the start of the SR Vu. Mostly because of the removal of those wizzards on the inhibitor and nexus, which were depicting the summoners. Im not 100% sure on any of this but its just a theory! Personally I like the lore changes btw.
Pharrøw5 votesThe loW has been indicated of a planned removal since around Rengar's release. They hadn't mentioned the IoW in his lore, and after the Journal of Justice was discontinued the whole thing was kinda solidified.
The lore retcon has been in the works for a long, long time.

I dont think so. I think they just had no idea what they were doing.

The map has a Warrior vs Mage theme in architecture based on Mage Lords vs Protectorate from Aatrox Lore.
Hoi Im Temmo1 votesTrue, but it does make since...and i doubt they woke up one day and were like "LETS RESET ALL THE LORE GUYZ" So probably all new content for a few months has been "in preparation" of the new lore.

I thought it was a Stag vs Owl theme, based on the art styles of the Blue and Red sides. The turrets and engravings in the ground make out the sides' respective animals.

It still is but the animal heraldry is very subtle in comparison to the overall theme-
Look at all of the turrets. The devs in video interviews even mention the blockier blue "PALADIN" theme as they called it with stag heraldry vs the red mage theme with heraldic owls.
Sadly since new lore direction has made anything that happens in game irrelevant to story or representative of it-its a missed opportunity. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-x0RD9ASuXvw/U5G9FG5OQjI/AAAAAAAARMY/wncVTXLdv-g/s1600/nexus.jpg
SecretLore1 votesI doubt that they only started with that. I've never seen those statues as a representation of the summoners(and wouldn't know why summoners would put those there),they were just random wizard-statues to me.

Um since it was all built by Field Architects....what ELSE would it be?
