What's Up With Maokai's New Lore.

I just noticed Maokai's new lore and I am heavily disappointed. Why did they change his lore in the first place? It was fine the way it was.

Now he is affiliated with the shadow isles and he was living prior to the league which completely abolishes his character and the quotes that were given to him. Maokai is supposed to be that life that was not meant to be and is angered at his creation. Not a entity protecting and honoring a forest.

Anyone else feel the same?

They changed his lore LONG time ago... RIP Dear friend of the old Twisted Treeline

because the league itself isn't canon anymore,so his old lore didn't make any sense anyway.

And while I agree that the tree-spirit-thing is stupid,he is still in a state that was not meant to be.

I'd say they could keep it as it is,but just remove that spirit thing and say that the curse of the shadow isles simply caused the life to magically gather inside that one tree causing Maokai to be born.

They changed it because Riot is getting rid of Summoners completely in lore. So any champion influenced by summoners will have a lore change. So expect a Fiddle lore change
