The name "League of Legends"

So this is just a bit of a thought I had about the name of the game and the game itself at this point in time. With all the changes to the lore would it not make sense to make the name of the game make sense too? (Does that make sense? hehe) > In all seriousness though, No. There is no reason for Riot to change the name. I just like the thought craft.)

League of Legends. During the ye olde days when there was a League that governed why champions fought each-other. Summoners of the Institute of War would summon champions of the League of Legends to fight on Summoners Rift. (It was a simpler time, I know.)

> Tangent! > With a lore that no longer revolves around Summoners summoning champions to Summoners Rift I feel that Summoners Rift should just be called "The Rift". > "Welcome to The Rift" the announcer would say. > But I digress

Back to my point of the name of the game. Here are some ideas of some different names that I feel could be used.

Though not necessarily a changed name, but rather a new meaning 'League' as a unit of measurement (3 nautical miles) of Legends makes sense right? Could we say that The Rift is about that distance?

Legends of Runeterra - Sounds a little cheesy

Champions of Legend

Its hard coming up with names. Fun to think about though I feel, but that's just me.

Well a League is a group of people who've gathered together for some reason, sometimes in competition and others for an alliance. A Legend in a person sense is someone who is highly reputable for something. So in essence the name "League of Legends" has always been spot on; the game's about a bunch of famous characters within Runeterra working together/competing with one another. That hasn't changed even without the organisation who bore the name, because the game itself still plays out in the exact same way as it always has.

Also Summoner's are still a thing, Riot just hasn't elaborated on what the sod they are yet in the new lolre.

Legends of Runeterra....hmmm, this sounds more like an RPG title for that same universe rather than a moba title.
