Bard does not replace the lnstitute of War

Seriously, Stop saying everything replaces something. Bard himself has nothing to do with the people who can read the stories of the stars. He's just a new introduced character. He's a wondering spirit from some dimension. Sure he may advert tragedy here and there but that's because he's suppose to be a benevolent character who protects. The Mountain's Shrine or Great Protector------ adverting some tragedies is something he's known to do.

Come on now.....Everything of the new lore doesnt replace the lost things of the last lore...

Agreed with OP. Separating Lore from Gameplay is making an awful and senseless game to play on.

But, the existence of a powerful extradimensional being who stops such tragedies makes conflict IMPOSSIBLE! Narrative will write itself into another self-perceived corner and go crazy! It'll be the end of the lore world again!

Well, at least this time they'll only have to retcon one character... that should only take them six months to rewrite.

Can't tell if you're being sarcastic but. . .

If he doesn't, why does the new SR have his mark appear on it?

Then why does no other champion have one connected to it?

Why not do anything with Rek'Sai or Kalista then?

Because they do different things with every champion, and they actually did do stuff with those ones and every other recent champion as appropriate. Kalista got those cool smog effects on champion pages, and Rek'sai got her own reveal video. Aziz got a whole event and several mini narratives for his reveal. Bard in turn got these little teaser symbols that glow when he walks by, as well as the promo page.

Really, pay attention to what goes on with champ reveals and you begin to realize how every champion gets theie own unique reveal, Like Sion's relaunch, Gnar's reveal teaser, Yasuo's lore reveal combo, Vel'koz's promo, Jinx's "X wuz here" things on champion pages, and so on.

No other champion is about to be released in a few weeks

The institute would still exist, the mountain range where they established summoner's rift just happens to be the former home of the Bard people. Hence why Bard's symbols appear there, and they glow periodically to foretell his coming

Man, a secret teaser is just a teaser. Bard is should not be a Deus ex Machina that comes to save everybody making that conflict senseless, he's just another champion that's there for a very long time as Lissandra.
