Since its announcement, Riot has never actually given players concrete reasons why the lore retcon needed to happen.
Upon taking a close look, most champion developments that happened since the Retcon could have easily been worked into pre-existing lore.
So I'm still wondering... Why the Retcon Riot?
Will you ever provide a descriptive answer?
They gave one. In the freaking announcement blog and the days following here on the boards.
For some reason you just feel the need to continually spam the boards with these threads.
How many times have you done the, "Once and for all!" Bit? Because it feels like you've done this before.
Wait, you're still at this?
I already answered your last post asking this, and have just now replied back to your rebuttal. Please, make quality threads rather than lots of threads that repeat themselves while dismissing the already made arguments.
For people who did not see the other thread, it was that the IoW forced champs to be in one of four categories: -Champ is weaker, so they go to the League to prove their strength or to become stronger -Champ is of moderate power, and they go to the League for political reasons or they are persuaded to -Champ is of dangerous power, and are either captured or join willingly to get even more power -Champ is a mystery, and is still a mystery.
Also, as Avantel said, they had a HUGE, pages-long blog about this very subject.
Powerful legendary beings make no sense or beliavable story playing around SR.

I am genuinely curious in how you think this could have worked.
I mean, I can see how some of the new champions, like Ekko or Illaoi could be inducted into the League of Legends with relatively minor changes.
However, most champions released or updated since 2015 are mostly incompatible with the old lore without changing significant amounts of their identity. Jhin, Poppy or Taric would need massive changes to their goals in order to fit in the IoW, and would lose a lot of their coolest aspects.
Even further, lots of champions would simply not work in the League of Legends without altering their most basic nature: Aurelion Sol, Bard, Tahm Kench, Mordekaiser, Kallista, Kindred, and the list goes on.
Whether you agree with their reason or not, they did provide one. In several places in fact.
They said they retconned the lore because they felt that it could not progress with how it had become.
