Theories of the rift

Ok so I don't know if anyone care a darn about this anymore but I have a theory or two coming from rift and intend to post interesting things I've noticed, or thought about. The first is how the rift interacts with the rest of Rune terra theory A: champions on the rift are not actually the champs themselves. Before you go nuts let me explain Champions in the shop are bought with IP or influence points or RP riot point's( if your feeling inclined) so theoretically you are giving those points to the institute of war (riot games) who has magically mimicked the essences of registered camps. Nurfs, buffs, fixes and reworks is the essence responding to a major change in a the real champs power or fettering for in rift play, that's why in blind pick you can have two of the same champs in the same game or on a larger scale the one for all game mode and it allows for multiple games to be played at same time and the champions daily life to be un-interrupted. However this ability to summon champion essence is not unlimited and must be rigorously controlled by the institute of war and as precedence must be agreed upon by said champion hence why Kayle and Morgana are bound to the League and why in Jax 's lore dictates prospective champs must audition for the league as well as the fact those of the shadow islands can be summoned during the harrowing and like wise conflicting characters. also since this is a base essence of a champ no matter the rivalry, arch nemesis or down right disdain they have for one another their essence will not mimic cognitive thought or memory excluding what is allowed by the institute of war thus rending the copied essence of the champ completely under the casters control. this theory is strengthened by the new hex-tech crafting system in which essence, shards and tokens are traded and culminated into skins, champions, ward skins and icons.

Theory B: It is forbidden for all but a few summoner's to make direct or indirect contact with actual champions. I Firmly believe this rule has been set by the institute of war that way skirmishes don't break out all across rune- terra. That's why unless they were already impacted by the institute of war and summoner's their of we don't read much if any of champions lore co in siding with a the work of a summoner and in events such as the harrowing we don't see them have any presence what so ever. After all what's the use of creating a way to prevent full scale war if it just winds up that Noxus summoner's learn all about Demecian champs weakness and bulldoze them latter or MissFortune finds out Gangplank survived and is preparing to retake bilgwater? or yet again if Sejuani discovered her trusted elder was actually Lissandra? Now arguably these are already terrible disasters in the making that may or may not already break out in full scale war, but now imagine that each side now has a elite group of powerful mages to fuel the fight even those who would not be interested in these affairs had felt loyalty to summoner or another regardless of actual views. Thus my reasoning is that the institute of war does not allow itself to be drawn into large events such as those recounted but forces it self into neutrality only offering itself as a mediator and way of solving problems such as a Noxian- Demecian boundary dispute and similar problems.

Problems that I'm trying to think through [zombie-brand-clap] The only problem with any of this is champs in a bit more hard to reach situation like those from the shadow islands. I mean I guess you could fudge some bit about Elise opening up the shadow isles for a price but it's hard to group all of them being open to be summoned by the league and another group that gives trouble is those from the void which I think can viably be pacified byMalzahar or an all you can eat buffet and then of course their are Individuals were their is some theoretical trouble likeAatrox AurelionSol Brand DrMundo Fiddlesticks Kindred Kled Lissandra Shaco RekSai Xerath Renekton

Its simple: The In-Game is not canon.

The summoners were deleted from the lore.

My theories:

Kassadin + Morgana = Syndra

Azir + Ashe = Anivia

Zilean + Lucian = Ekko

Taric + Ezreal = Olaf

New theory! Ryze was a key founder of the institute of war! Ok so we all know that the base purpose of the rift, institute and league was to stave off the possibility of a second rune war correct? So who would else would have the knowledge or drive to help establish such a monumental group? I Say Ryze. He is the one of the few with a memory of the first war excluding Anivia, Aatrox, Brand and Skarner and has the most reason to push for this (read lore fore easy explanation). He also is once you start LOL is one of three basic free champs you can choose from to progress. Indirectly and less compelling is that the tutorial art depicts him as a professor . Plus due to his age he undoubtedly was known or did know people who could pull the needed strings to start something like this. Is this not simple logic? So I pose that due his drive, history and goal, Ryze must have been a key founder of the institute.
