Some friendships/rivalries make no sense anymore

For example, it says on the website that Udyr and Nidalee are friends. Udyr has lived the majority of his life in the Freljord and the rest in Ionia. Nidalee has lived in the Kumungu Jungle since she was a baby. They live on completely opposite sides of the continent. How have they even met, let alone become friends!?

When Riot announced their retcon plan, I don't think either the Narrative or the supposed "Foundations" teams realized how much work that change actually meant for them. Not only do they have to figure out champion bios but also friendships and rivalries and everything else.

Therefore, if this entire retcon takes less than six months from today (October 23, 2014), I would be shocked.

I've basically stopped caring about what Narrative does. The lore community just making up our own LoL lore, building upon the original foundations and adding in whatever we like from their new material, sounds better to me every day. Meanwhile, let Riot go off and make their "foundations" for some ridiculous media franchise, MMO, or whatever they're planning in some League-less alternate version of Runeterra.

I am 100% they will have to rework the whole landmass of Runeterra. All it is, is a huge circle with a few islands. Cities and 'exotic' locations dont make sense where they are.

Riot is kinda bad at the whole consistent storytelling thing.

Are summoners gone or is the entire Institute of War gone, too?

[I liked the possibility of Lee Sin being able to speak to Sona through Summoner magic :( ]

Well I'd say they met through the IoW, but since that doesn't exist anymore....

Yea I think most of these would require an update since Institute of war is gone. Some of these also make no sense because we didn't get the story behind it yet and that might happen in the future.

Riot is going to have to change their theme songs name, or at least one of their most famous songs. (Summoners Call)

TheRainInSpain10/25/2014, 7:09:44 PM3 votes

Because the League of Legends is non-canon. That's how they met.

DeathByWaffle10/25/2014, 7:35:04 PM3 votes

See, it would work if they had left in the IoW, since they would have obviously met as champions.

But with the retcon? Yeah, it doesn't work.

Hell, a bunch of the friendships/rivalries didn't make sense in the first place. But yeah, even more of them are senseless now.

Maybe because she wasn't dating Bob Nashango they had her date Udyr, or maybe she met udyr threw lee sin who knows nid with this being proof https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/q71/s720x720/1003230_622850614425599_1802318439_n.jpg

in Lucian and Thresh rivaly thing only Thresh was Rival to lucian, Thresh had no Rivals and that makes sense he only enjoys torturing people and getting their souls but now Lucian is a Rival to thresh which I dont understand... sure Lucian wants to kill Thresh but im pretty sure Thresh's search for souls and enlightenment with torture would overlap any rivaly he would have to someone trying to get him... like a fly at the window or something
