Community: But we want the damn lore fuck skins!

Me: We're not even half way through October yet, the Harrowing patch was just deployed to the pbe, and skins are always a part of Harrowing. Chill. Wait a week or two why don't you.

Ill be happy if they post longer main lores for all the Shadow Isles champions. If they do that, Ill consider it a success in getting lore. Of course, a SI lore event would be nice and actually pretty awesome, but people need to remember that Bilgewater event happened just recently, and we generally got only one large lore event in terms of factions per year.

Again, I would not be surprised if a Faction type event for Shadow Isles wont happen this year, but I would be surprised if they crammed that event in, even after a large event such as the Bilgewater one was. Lets hope they surprise me.

Well they just put the paragraphs for five Shadow Isles champs on to the pbe, implying there's long lores ready to go or at least in their final stage of being written. Not next week but the week after is likely where we should look towards.

Well the indication that they changed their short bios (from the old updated bios to the new ones) to go with the longer lore indicates such a future update. Invocation lore for Kalista is probably not her main lore as indicated by the short bio, whihc makes me happy since Invocation works like an expanded lore type of deal. I have to add that Elise and Yorick are still waiting new short bios, which may indicate that they wont be getting new longer lore this time around. I can get why, Elise is sorta semi-indipendant from the SI thing, and more Black Rose. Yorick left out makes me sad, but I get they why they want to wait for him, as he will get a Full Relaunch eventually....which may indicate that a Shadow Isles event as a faction event will happen next year instead of this one, since Yoricks Full Relaunch can be a better introduction to the event rather than a post event thing....or it could Im not sure about this, I just want some more love for Yorick senpai.

Well they did change their anlge around Burning Tides, so they've gotta go back and fix up the folks who were waiting on character pieces by giving them those longer lores. As far as I know Jaredan's basically confirmed that some Shadow Isles champions are gonna get long lore with this Harrowing.

The likelyhood is that they don't wanna put out anything for Yorick or Elise yet is because they won't be part of this year's Harrowing festivities, I mean if we look at Burning Tides Tahm Kench, Nautilus and Fizz weren't touched despite being from Bilgewater because those three weren't part of the main plot of the event. There could be more to it than that, like simply just waiting on Yorick's relaunch to be done, but I'd assume they just wanna keep the focus on the "main cast" of this Harrowing so to speak.

Who said that they aren't going to develop the lore?

Well what do you expect them to do?They obviously won't scrap the skins and can't just pump out new ones within a few weeks. They are trying a specific theme for the skins this year,thats what they are trying out(specifically zombies in this year).

If there is something lore-related going to happen then they'll probably release that lore once the harrowing has actually started.
