A new Trend has emerged,paragraph long lores.

To me,knowing a champions background is mandatory to mastering them,and it can make the game fun. I know Vi and cait hunt jinx,Cassiopeia betrayed Sivir,Most demacians are found (like Galio,Shyvana and Valor) and that Varus was the first to think of the forbidden,sealed weapon when his village was raided,which is weird,would be funny if they hadn't went for that weapon,some guard he turned out to be. However since the shurima event every champion updated down to Rek'Sai,the new edition of lores look more like summaries written by Rammus with little information about that champion's history. Kalista had such potential for an epic lore, a betrayed woman. wth riot. She also has a quote where she says "We...I...must not forget" but you look at her lore and you got no idea what the hell she is talking about. If they have to get Sion to narrate for lores like his is,we need better,more informative lores.

Overall short lores are there just as a quick summary,an introduction to the champion.They want to release full lores on the official site and then add a link to the client-lores that redirects readers to the official site,because for newer players it can be kinda a downer if you just want some quick info on the champ and meet a wall of text and because they plan on doing multiple lore pieces which wouldn't fit into the client.

However there are technical problems with the client,which means that the client currently has only the short lores too,they released the full lores for Azir Kalista &Xerath on the forums already,if you want to read the full lores,then I guess you should visit the wiki,since that one does a good job at making all the lore pieces easily avaliable.

well see, there are going to be links there that take you to the website... because if there is one thing people love, it is links that take you somewhere instead of convieniently putting the content in-game... you know... because... Advertising?

I have to do one extra click to find out Kalista's Lore is about...someone else. One extra click to find out...Rammus is just there. One extra click to find out that Amumu just cries just because he's sad.

This entire direction is stupid and their excitement makes me want to punch a puppy. Theres nothing in this new lore that could have not been done with the old, and the concept of removing lore and leaving these pages so empty is mind boggling. Wasted space. All that wasted space. At least put the picture of Lux and Ezreal on his empty page to make it worth it ffs.

actually if they manage to give us more lore pieces for the champs,then there would be some use in it,but for that they have to do that first. I think it would have been better to just leave the full lores there and then only add the short lores once it makes sense and not the other way around.

totally agree, azir's lore was pretty bad.
