Lore Broken

So if riot isn't going to bring back the League of Legends and Summoners, they are going to need to fix some lore. Take Nocturne for example, his lore is below

Before Nocturne, people believed that dreams were figments of their imagination, meaningless images that flashed through the mind when one slept. This belief was put to the test when a rash of sleep-related incidents started afflicting summoners of the League. Some would wake up screaming, terrified and beyond consolation. Some could not fall asleep, slowly going mad as the nights ticked by. Some simply never woke up. Physicians were baffled until a Field Architect happened to pass out next to a nexus on Twisted Treeline. Witnesses said he cried out once and then stopped breathing. Immediately after, magical energy arced out from the nexus, and Nocturne appeared.

Nocturne did not take his introduction to this world kindly. He slaughtered everything he could find before summoners were able to magically confine him. After a period of intense study, League experts divined that Nocturne hunted summoners in their sleep, attacking them in a place where their magic was useless. This seemed to be his only purpose. The families of the victims demanded justice, but League officials were concerned that death might only return Nocturne to the place from which he came. They bound him to a nexus fragment, trapping him in the physical world. As punishment for his crimes, they allowed summoners to call upon Nocturne in the League matches, bending his will to the summoners he hates and creating his own personal nightmare. League scholars don't know whether he truly came from the plane of dreams, or whether there are any more like him. Some theorize that the summoning act affected summoners' subconscious minds, luring Nocturne to them in their sleep. Perhaps the most disturbing theory is that Nocturne is a person's nightmare come to life. If this is true, they wonder, who is the dreamer?

''The darkness is closing in...it's pitch black now...but I can still see him...''

It mentions summoners confining him with magic, if they don't exist they why isn't Nocturne going around and killing everyone yet? Riot needs to get this done, and hopefully come up with an event to continue the lore and maybe an explanation as to why the league was destroyed.

We know. They know. Whether or not it's a top priority for them, or if they'll ever get to it is another discussion. It's another wait and see.

My theory is that Riot has given up on the lore system.

You think Nocturne's lore is bad? What about Yorick 's?

A terrifying and tragic figure, Yorick is a ghoulish being that exists on the edge of mortality. Some say he was the last of his family line, dying without an heir to continue its legacy, and that he is cursed to continue to his family's duty even after death. Wielding the twisted shovel he bore in life, he continues his macabre work, endlessly digging and filling graves upon the haunted Shadow Isles.

At least Nocturne gets two paragraphs of confusing lore, Yorick's is three sentences long and contains barely any information.

Everyone knows this. We know it. Riot knows it.

I think eventually Riot will come to terms with their retcon issues, and Nocturne will probably be implemented into the Harrowing lore once they do.

maybe but I don't like the idea of nocturne being lumped in with SI

I fully agree. Many champions have lore that directly bind them to the summoners and the League, making it so that with the reset on lore, almost none of them have a reason for being in the game. Also, if the League no longer exists, then will the game itself still be called League of Legends? I mean with no league there isn't a league right?
