@Riot, can we have more hype cinematics for lore?

Like Descent into the Tomb and Rise of the Ascended. They're the first of their kind and as I remember nothing came back after them. We can have skin hype cinematics like PROJECT: OVERDRIVE and Burning Bright, why not for lore too? I know it doesn't bring money but people into lore. Those hypes can make some champions more popular than usually though, and undirectly more skins.

It would be so fucking awesome if we could see a Azir and Taliyah meeting cinematic, or Ascended fight, or whatever. Just a lore themed cinematic without something's release.

AND, please, stop just making cinematics of weaklings of LoL universe lol. Except champion teasers, there is no single godlike, a member of a powerful race/kind/faction champion included in a cinematic.

There is no undead (No I'm not counting sketch cinematic in Harrowing), there is no voidborn, there is no celestial being, there is no ascended, there is no iceborn, there is no darkin.

Only thing I could say would be Nocturne and he doesn't seem that strong either.

I'm actually bored with seeing humans as %90 of animated champions.

Lastly, why are there no dialogues between champions? I dont remember single one.

Edit: I forgot Bard: Mountain. But it is the last one and related with a release.

Yeah, but it is cinematic, not anime, book or comic. And they dont sell cinematics.

Still applies because a cinematic for every champion lore or most of them would be amazing.

You're right, it would be. But I would prefer main timeline lore cinematics.

Honestly I am ok with not getting big lore cinematics if it means that the lore team can work a bit faster on updating the champion lores,because that should be their top priority.

Also one of the very first league cinematics includes cho'gath,Kayle,Morgana and Nasus...

Those cinematics are related with gameplay itself, not lore. There is no way for Ashe to be a rival against Cho'Gath lol. Same for a New Dawn.

Also, in those cinematics, godlike beings were pretty pathetic. It is so sad to see Cho'Gath in teemo size.

Well you did count Nocturnes appearance in a cinematic even though he only appeared in a gameplay-related cinematic.

Yes, I said that too. But lore cinematics can also bring money if it is done properly. It makes champions more interesting, an interesting champion shows more popularity, popularity brings more money, especially for skins.

Technically both PROJECT and Star Guardian cinematics are lore based....just for alternate universes/timelines and not the main universe/timeline.
