Is no one gonna talk about this?

i mean it's aatrox, of course not, but how come his lore went from super specific battle history and the specification of 5 darkins, to this: "One of the ancient darkin, Aatrox was once a peerless swordmaster who reveled in the bloody chaos of the battlefield. Trapped within his own blade by the magic of his foes, he waited out the millennia for a suitable host to wield him - this mortal warrior was corrupted and transformed by the living weapon, and Aatrox was reborn. Though tales of the darkin have now passed into legend, he remembers only too well the destruction of his race, and wreaks his vengeance one sword blow at a time."

i mean it just seems bland, couldn't they just keep it and then change it when they want to make aatrox a different champion?

I mean this is literally the short little snippet they put before every champion's long lore. He's slated for a full gameplay update in which he will become a different champion, and presumably he will be receiving newer, and better lore. I don't see the point in being outraged over what is clearly a work in progress.

but then why put it in?? why not just keep it til they're finished, whats the point of showing us a "mini bit" of a new lore (also it hardly feels like this bit will be part of anything also i dont see how im outraged? im just questioning why it seems so bland and why they changed it to something so little. and i got people who answer! yet apparently in a rude way

Because this is how they operate, I don't have an answer of why they chose now to remove the old lore. It might be a sign that Riot is planning something coming soon. And it seems like outrage because this is how so many of the outrage trends start. Do you remember what happened with Viktor? We heard one thing about the "Gloriously Evolved" and everyone went bananas claiming that Riot was fundamentally changing the character of Viktor. Then Viktor's lore came out and everyone's outrage was pointless.

It's just setting up for his actual story. It's not supposed to be super detailed.

Its just the short lore for the ingame client. We don't actually know if the universe lore(which would be the canon lore) will remain the same or not(after all the short version and the current version don't really contradict each other)
