Ok, a correction

I usually spread the word around that Gangplank is not really dead.

Ok. Semantically correcting my opinion is saying that he will be back for sure ingame, but ye, lore-wise he might be really dead ;D

Which brings me to my next point. What is the League of Legends then?** -- I'll just give my two cents on what I'd like it to be: **A game that is played by Mages/Wizards etc (us) in Runeterra.

Basically we Will-out replicas of real characters from Runeterra. League of Legends is a famous sport people watch there, every year there's tournments etc. (As if we in planet earth had a world-wide game where we had Átila the Hun fight Hitler)

Some villains do not like and do not support their images being used and so they may plot against it.

Mages can only create replicas and there are certain standarts to what is acceptable.

This would allow for lore-wise characters having unknown powers/techniques other then we know from League.

-- A malformation the unskilled "Zacharias" created. Hence the name Zac and hence Zac's form which is a blob. Zac was allowed to participate in the League -- despite being product of clumsy work, people thought he had some interesting features. "Scratching his head, the author of the 7ft green slob said to the jury: I was aiming at Vladimir..."

Mages can only create such replicas inside the Fields of Magicz, where there are magical amplifiers, heritage from the ancient Magelords, race which could perform such replicas without them.
