@Jaredan, I have a question about the state of lore... Please don't ignore this.

Hello. So I've been seeing all the threads about 'lore now' and 'its state'.

First, I know (or at least think so)- the short, in-client lore entries are supposed to be served as kind of a summary, and not as a full bio or a full, 'detailed' story. They are supposed to be bundled with longer stories, bios, media and articles that you, Riot, can't implement due to said tech issues. I mean, although it's kinda weird that it's been in the works for so long and wasn't released yet, but I can somewhat understand that (and I sure hope you're not lying to us, cause I somewhat still have faith in you, Riot).

Anyways, obviously, the retcon and massive lore changes were probably announced a little bit too early, and we really haven't got that much of the dev-blogs (I may be wrong and just don't remember the dev-blogs if they were ever made) and communication that were promised in the _"Exploring Runeterra" _ dev-blog (Although** I do wanna thank people like Jaredan**, who at least try to communicate with us).

Yeah, okay, we got it Riot- You f*cked up, i guess- And shit happens. But since we've never had so much of the frequent lore changes that were expected to come soon after the announcement about the big retcon, a lot of us kinda lost faith in the Narrative team. Though, again, I haven't entirely lost faith in you. From all the red posts about the current state of lore, it seems like you have a lot of thing in development, regarding lore. And you know what, Narrative?** I believe you.** Why do I believe you? I don't know. I honestly don't know. Might be because I'm innocent, a fool, a fanboy, a patient one, or whatever, I really don't know.

But I have one question: Now that the Bilgewater event- Burning Tides - is coming, we've recently seen these short lore entries appearing in our clients again (on the PBE for now), this time for Gangplank, Graves and Twisted Fate. Now my question is, Jaredan (or any other member of the narrative team, in case you're reading this by any chance), why keep releasing these and disappoint and confuse players, if you aren't ready to insert the bigger lore entries yet? And again, I understand your decision of putting the short lore entries in the client as a kind of a summary-only thing, and release the large rest somewhere else (That is not the Boards I hope), but still, why not just bundle short entries with longer ones?

I really don't hate the new lore (as much as there have been), I don't even dislike it, I think that it does have a potential, but I just think that the way the Narrative team manage things is not the best, and I'd be glad if we could help you guys at Narrative to improve and manage things correctly (and more communication from other members of the department won't hurt too).

-_-

As I was about to finish writing this thread, I realized that my questions may be answered later this month with the 'exciting stuff that should come soon/later this month', according to Jaredan. We'll have to wait and see. Anyways, Jaredan, if you can answer my question regardless of the 'upcoming stuff', it would definitely be pleasing. :)
