Universe is lacking (Opinion?)

Well Riot did great making the lore more available and easier to find! However, I think the universe could use a "Rioter Certified" section.

Ex: The Q&A's done on the forums actually yields additional information about champs, groups, and regions that isn't always included in their bios.

Finding an answer to a question you may have is still similar to before, where it requires some searching through posts and threads. Add in the fact that these stories are still unfolding and you may get a little confused with what is going on or what the purpose of something is since there isn't a section for it.

A problem is that the lore is pretty ad hoc. Like you said with your Q&A example, where sometimes the Q&A yields pretty interesting trivia information that's not in the universe but since it comes from the 'mouth of god' aka Rioters, it SHOULD be canon unless otherwise. Then this information is forgotten or retconned after the next visual update or champion remake.

Sometimes it does feel like the Q&A answers are either "tehehehe, not telling!" or "use your imagination!" like some DnD dungeon master on a power trip or its interesting trivia that's never looked back at (ex: I think Shyvana's lore referenced how she felt uneasy around humans in Demacia because she's different, yet this isn't mentioned in lore - like, at all).

But that's the purpose of Nexus, and it is equally as accessible to the community like the Universe site. They might be seperated content but they still neighbour each other.

Plus all Q&A's over on Reddit discuss more than just 'lore' specific topics. And I dont think the average player should be finding links to gameplay and dev related information on the Universe site at all.

Regardless, the Nexus site is the best place for questions and answers and it conveniently categorizes every subject for easier searching. All just a left click away from Universe.

For some reason every time i see ''Universe'' now my mind instantly goes to the Tournament of Power from DB's Universe Survival saga
