Hey Loremasters, stifle your picayunish concerns pertaining to lore

LoL Ergo Urgot··8 votes·897 views

For your own health please stop fretting over the state of lore. It is a well known fact that of all the various academics, the writers (loremasters), artists, and poets are the most sickly.

Go peruse some fine literature like Harry Potter and Playboy. You will only catch your death if you wait for League lore.

And for some of you more hard-nosed types, just look at the past 10 months of tumultuous posts proclaiming the atrocities of Riot's narrative team's handling of your precious lore. Technical difficulties?

Does the narrative team have missing keys on their keyboards, leading them to replace L's with 1's and 2's with Z's? And then they refuse to post the lore with substituted letters/numbers because they are afraid they would look silly? Or maybe their free trial has expired for whatever version of Microsoft Word is around these days.

My point is there are no "technical difficulties". So take it easy loremasters before you end up like one of Poe's pals with tuberculosis or catch Polio.

See? Don't you feel better. I have assuaged your worries. You can support me by Patreon or by typing your credit card and social security information in the comments bellow.

One final thing, being the prognosticator I am, I know you dotards (loremasters) will downvote me. It's from the fever you are running, ergo, proof that there is no gainsay in this post.

Complete. Urgot

If I bury the hatchet, I will still remember where it is buried and why I had buried it to begin with. Even if you made a beautiful garden over the mound of the hatchet, I won't forget where it rests. What was once pristine and sharp is now broken and dulled by carelessness. To be asked to accept this new hatchet as token of goodwill, one of inferior quality as a suitable replacement for what is buried, it is a brazen insult. I break this shoddy and flimsy hatchet, one that you gifted to me, over my knee and use its broken pieces to kindle my fire. If one truly wished to make amends, fetch me a new hatchet of quality like what was once buried had or one of grander quality than that which is buried.

+1 This is - by a wide margin - the most productive thread in Story & Art for the past half a year or so. Finally a post that isn't just people bitching.

Maybe we wouldn't downvote you if you were polite.

What an impetuous post. Written like a true loremaster.

To operate in an emotional state such as yours is likened unto wearing an iron yoke.

Clothe yourself with an austere disposition. More pragmatic.

Yep. Impolite.

I up voted you. For being so cute. Anyone who would read this and take it seriously has to be an adorable little child. Or someone with the cognitive prowess of one.

Wait, so you post a rant about lore people and then expect them not to be offended because it's a joke, despite there being no indication of that in the post?

Alright then. Let's investigate this together.

"Go peruse some fine literature like Harry Potter and Playboy." Playboy is not "fine" literature. It's picture books for adults who are incapable of using the internet.

My technical difficulty section is ludicrous with various issues that could easily be corrected.

Polio is extremely rare in most 1st word countries and is essentially eliminated.

I asked people to support me on Patreon when I didn't give them any information as to where or how they could do this. I also asked for their private information to compensate.

This post had a condescending tone and was filled with balderdash.

This was satire by it's very definition.

Satire- the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices, particularly in the context of contemporary politics and other topical issues.

Edit 1: One more thing. Some other words for rant are Tirade and Diatribe.

Edit 2: "Wait, so you post a rant about lore people and then expect them not to be offended"

Um no, look at the second to last sentence of my post. I knew that people would downvote. This was inevitable. People are too emotional. Be in a sate of aplomb now. I have taught you critical thinking skills as one teaches a monkey to hold a cup for wherewithal.

I pray you desist in deploying such sesquipedalians.

kk will do bruh. :) thank you for the new word btw.

Edit: I had to though. I needed to appear more erudite to make up for me only being S2.

Sesquipedalian is an adjective, not a noun, my good sir.

Legacy of Xion1 votes

Tell that to the (possibly former) Dean of English at the University of Alabama.

And about 20 seconds for googling confirms that sesquipedalian can be used as either an adjective or noun.

I'm just hanging around this board to snarkily remind people that Riot left their own game without a lore for almost a year.

And that they based their desicion on basic factual errors about their own setting.

Like true proffesionals.

If I want any Lore, any storytelling actually relevant to the game, I'd go update myself on Factions...

But i'm too lazy <.<
