Is there some lore in the new runes?

I did it. After centuries, I finally collected all the world runes and put them in this scroll. Runeterra is safe again.

Gigantic runes drop from the sky all over the planet, too massive for Ryze to move them https://am-a.akamaihd.net/image?f=https://news-a.akamaihd.net/public/images/articles/2017/may/runes/3.jpg

Aww, COME ON!!!

Gonna assume that the runes aren't actually part of the LoLverse, but I suppose you never know. Maybe we'll eventually get a story of Ryze trying to rescue the Grasp of the Undying rune from a very mad tank champion...

I still have this fool's hope that the lore team is gonna drop the biggest tie-in ever for runes, summoner's rift, and all these various factions. I want SR to be canon again so badly. I don't care about losing the Institute of War or any of that, but one of the biggest charms of this game when I started was that the game and the lore were tied together so neatly.

Rune Wars happened. I think we have only minor versions of what they fought with and for, or it would be totally overkill. I know that runes are stronger than what we have ever seen before, but not as strong as described in the rune wars. So I guess Runes exist, and not only for Ryze, but the implementation (Champ Select, Rune Pages etc) are not lore-related, only gameplay-related. That's as far as lore goes, there are runes and they have strong powers. I don't think we are going to find out how they found these old (&lost) runes or why they can use them, and only specific combinations etc.
