Possible connection of LoL lore to the weekly rotating game modes?

Hey guys,

I've been reading up on some of the concerns throughout the boards here and had an idea that I wanted to throw out there. (Not sure if this has been presented earlier as someone else's idea awhile back--haven't looked that closely).

What I have noticed is that a lot of us love the beginnings to stories introduced with these events, however, we would like to see some of the stories continue. I figure that a good way to move them along in a small way would be to reference some of these stories in a small way each week through the weekly rotating game modes.

For an idea, we could have had a small bit of story on the happenings around Shurima and associated champions during Ascension, or in Freljord during Legend of the Poro King last weekend. I can understand that some of these are more easily accomplished than others---I could see it being difficult to connect URF to much of a story, although I'm sure I don't have nearly the creative mind or honestly, the focus on the lore that many other players and Rioters have.

Just throwing that out there as a way to keep the stories moving, but not having to tie them to scheduled champion releases. I'd love to hear a continuation of the war in Freljord, or how things are going in Piltover, Zaun, the Haunted Isles etc. In my opinion, there are some really awesome settings and characters, and even if just a small story or status update every once in awhile would help to bring those stories to life in the game.

That would require weekly lore updates,which is likely not possible from a writers standpoint,they are currently struggling with updating all the champion lores and that process would slow down even more if they had to make lore in a weekly format in addition to these.

Also its not like all gamemodes are tied to the lore,I mean what would be the lore connecting to something like hexakill or one-for-all?Not to mention that it would cause certain areas to get a lot more attention than others(shurima,bilgewater and the freljord all have gamemodes tied directly to them,but zaun,piltover,etc.have none)
