I'm talking about gameplay. As we all know gameplay=/=lore but yet every thing in Summoner's Rift has a back story.

Does this mean that these stories for Rift Herald, Murk Wolves, Gromp etc. are just stories Rioters came up with to explain why they are the way they are? Or is it the fact that perhaps my theory that they are going to bring back the Institute right?

Honestly I don't know any more, for example Rift Herald.

We know that Rift Herald is a Scuttle crab that some how wondered into the Void. But since gameplay doesn't equal lore this means nothing right? But yet it seems as if yes it is lore due to the way how every creature and thing on Summoner's Rift has a background.

The world of Runeterra does not contain a gameplay SR (Though it could possibly contain some version of the Magelord vs Protectorate area.)

while

The gameplay SR is a reflection of the world of Runeterra, with various champion and area allusions all crammed into one map.

For example, in Tahm's lore, a scuttle crab is seen scuttling in the river. Such scuttle crabs can be found in the gameplay SR.

Not the other way around, though the SR scuttle crabs were there first.
