NARRATIVE - come out of hiding
Not only do we need legitimate action (lore shipping), but we need more than other teams' speaking in your stead.
Sick of you guys blatantly neglecting us.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are!"
Look, you know I'm all about community engagement, but if Narrative staffers are as genre-savvy as one would expect, they'd recognize that it's pretty much only serial killers who playfully call for someone to come out from their hiding place. Coming out from where you're hiding just about never ends well in fiction.
Why bother. They hate us. Why should they spend five minutes telling us anything when they could be using that time furiously stroking each other's massive... egos?
The entire company doesn't care about the fans, at all. The latest bit from Riot Whren process that much.
Jaredan, as a long time Lore fan, THANK YOU for actually responding, it shows us that you still care, and it actually gives us hope that you will listen to our pleads to fix your universe before working on fancy videos or webcomics.
Just don't give us false hope, we are toxic yes, but we deserve to be after broken promises and time-frames never kept. We LOVE this game, we love its universe, so when half of it was brutally ripped away from us ... it hurt.
What we want, and all we ever asked for are engaging backgrounds and a working universe, just look at J.K Rowlings Harry Potter Series or LOTR, do you think LOTR would have been interesting without Midgard, only following the characters in EXTREMELY short novels in their respective areas, do you think Harry Potter would have been engaging without Hogwarts to tie all of the characters together?
We need a consistent universe with characters who has a background and depth, with Echo you have revealed things that has transformed him, but we know nothing about the character it self, only how he handles different types of situation, i want to know HOW he breaks friggin time, where he was born, why he is a street kid etc.

You realize they are"in hiding" because the last time they tried to talk with the community, they were basically crucified fir their audacity in wanting to improve the lore. Most of the lore related threads have done nothing to make the Narratuve team think that the lore community will be willing to have a civil discussion.
Well honestly, If a rioter came her with "Narrative" under their name, do you seriously think people will listen to them as they are burned alive?
At this point I doubt the narrative team will show up much if at all in these kinds of threads, not until they actually have something complete to present to us.
And I don't blame them. Yes there are some people here who are willing to have civil discussions about the lore, but most of the time they're having to deal with an angry circlejerk mob. Better to just leave them to actually work on the lore as opposed to having to get stressed out over people yelling at them through their monitors and calling for their resignation.
And before anyone says anything about them NOT working on the lore or not doing their job, you don't know that. You do NOT know what it is they have planned. You do NOT know what they're currently working on. Yes it would be nice to KNOW what it is they're working on, but the last time Riot gave us some early insight into things they planned before they were "past the point of no return" in terms of completion, we got Magma Chamber and Ao Shin (while they say he's still upcoming, we have no idea if he actually is or not, nor when).
So, as I said, better to just have patience, play the game, and wait until they have something near complete to show us. That's all we can do, really.
