i dont know if killing off champions and retconning the institute of war is a good idea.

first off id like to say i dont think GP is dead, to many ways where he could have lived especially with fat fish kench lurking around and currently residing in bilgewater. But the idea of killing off a champion kind of takes away from the ingame fantasy of playing that champion if you are the type that likes to connect said champ with his lore.

Imagine if they decided to kill off TF and graves along with GP, what would be the fun in playing those champs knowing they are "canonically" dead in the lore? it just seems kind of wierd to me. it makes sense for shado isle champions to die for obvious reasons, but the rest of the champs have already established themselves at being very powerful in there own right.

and are prime examples of champions that will most likely die in a demacia vs noxus event. ONE OF THESE CHAMPIONS WILL DIE in an event like that, but is it really a good thing? think about it, if one of them dies off then thats it for there lore. it cant be expanded upon, it can be revised, and you wont see that champion in anyone lore ever again. IMO that kind of ruins it. everything you liked about that champ is gone. it is the same for . if he is truly dead then there is no chance we will see this character again in the future even if they do another bilgewater event. at best we might see him and other future dead champs in a harrowing event, but its doubtful seeing as how you have to die on the isles to be revived if im not mistaken.

I also think retconning summoners/"the league"/the institute of war was a bad move. right now the lore and the game doesnt tie together for some strange reason. This means that SR and the champions that fight with each other/against each other is completely pointless and fabricated seeing as how SR no longer even exist in the current lore. I just find it very strange that the game itself has absolutely nothing to do with the games lore. i dont really know of any other game that does this. even games like candy crush ties its story and games mechanics together in some way.

I know this post sounds like a giant nitpick, and it probaly is, but i really wish riot didnt completely retconn its old lore and simply just revised or updated it to make more sense of it. champions like , whos lore and entire existence revolves completely around joining a organization that no longer exist, is not completely invalidated and pointless untill riot decides to get around revising her lore a few years down the rode...

so thats just my 2cents. i think riot is setting themselves up for failure with this new lore system going around. dont get me wrong, the new lore IS good, but the way they are rolling it out is a one and done type of deal even tho they can fully expand on stories like ekko. the stories they are making have potential to expand into other champions stories, but they outright refuse to do it for whatever reason.

for example it looks like we will never learn about and feud seeing as how GP has pirated alot from noxus, even going as far as to take there signature ship and making it his own. it also looks like we will never learn about and feud with each other. its just missed opportunity after missed opportunity.
