  1. The Story of Runeterra used to be cohesive and developments in one nation used to have effects on other nations. Runeterra felt like a connected world rather than a bunch of isolated factions. We used to constantly hear about inter-factions rivalries and political mind games. It was awesome!

  2. Champions used to have their stories develop at a much higher rate, with story updates consistently happening every 2 weeks or so. There was a consistent release of lore for Runeterra. These days, Lore is releases in bursts that are far and few between.

  3. We used to hear about the normal part of each champion's life! Sometimes it's nice to hear about what the champions are doing in their time off. We don't get that kind of information anymore. I wanna see more stuff like Blitzcrank's fleshing compatibility service! Why isn't there anymore lore releases about champion's daily lives?

  4. Could we hear more about Runeterra from a common person's perspective? If the only lore released is from the perspective of champions, we're never going to hear much about how the world is for the average person, which would be a shame.

I'm still sad I never had a chance to get any holiday themed runes

It's gonna be a while before the lore starts getting back to where it "used" to be. The lore was way easier in the day since it was like 40 characters and whenever they added a character they just had to write up a little story. Now that there are 126 characters that lores' need to be written for it's going to take a while. Especially since they seem to want to make it climactic whenever they reveal some lore. Using events and stuff and building the world around them through these events take time. Probably a lot more time than people seem to think.
