The Next Retcon Targets
So we all know that next year another Retcon will be rolling out, so the question is which faction is in the line of sight. So far, I've seen three possibilities:
Bandle City Mt. Targon Ionia
In my opinion it's gonna be Ionia purely because they have more impact in the world scene and they have more to play around with in story. BUT Riot needs to pull this off next time. I find it funny that people used to say the Frejord retcon SUCKED and now after Shurima they're saying it was arguably good, which suggests to me riot, on a scale of 1(worst)-10(best), is currently working in the range of 2-4. In my opinion, after the Shurima Retcon (I didn't play much attention to the Frejord one), Riot has 3 points to work on.
- better involvement of gameplay. Have the gamemode relevant to the story ("Xerath holds the secret to absolute ascension, so Azir has set a reward for anyone to wrest it from him." for a crude example).
- Explain, don't butcher. Reworks are about improving, not removing
- More lore depth. Instead of saying 'Siver and Cassitopia entered the tomb AND SUDDENLY SHURIMA!!!!!' talk about how that actually affects events on Runterra. Like seriously, what does Noxus or Demacia think about this? How is Shurima a world player? What the heck is going oooonnnnnnnnn?
Who do you guys think is next on the block, and how do you think Riot can improve retcons?
