Something that's beginning to bother me with the new lore...

Click baity title wasn't on purpose, apologies :P

Is it just me, or does the new lore go out of its way to name tonnes of different locations, concepts and terminology for the sheer sake of saying they exist? There was a little bit more consistency (Emphasis on "little") in the older lore, with places like Kumungu having several champions tied to it for example. Nowadays each champion lore seems to list a thousand terms or places less because they're part of the lore but more to TRY and make it look grander without it actually being grand. Does that make sense, or am I explaining it poorly? It's like trying to add every little thing to your CV to make yourself look important :O

Saying this whilst reading the new Rammus lore, mentioning some place called the "Fortress of Siram". This place'll never be mentioned again and is only mentioned to make the world APPEAR to be more complex, and similar things seem to happen in other new champion lores D:

Well they're trying to make this seem like it's own living, breathing world. Think of it like Earth for a moment. We got the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa and Antarctica as our major landmass. Each area has multiple countries that have multiple districts/cities/states that sub-divide even further. If you want something to seem big you need a lot of places.

Well everything that gets mentioned like this could turn out to be a checkhovs gun/gunman.

They could be mentioned in passing now,only to become more important later on.
