The new lore does not correlate to the game itself, like HOTS for instance.
You have characters from multiple blizzard games put into a moba.
The lore itself, are the character's backstories in the world of Runeterra, but none of it has to do with IoW, Summoners or LoL, hence being deleted.
It is simply a platform in which characters are imported from Runeterra.
Super Smash Bros MOBA - Runeterra Edition.
That's literally what they are doing with the game, leaving the lore a generic fantasy world that has no right to exist anymore with the exclusion of the League and IoW.
It is simply a platform in which characters are imported from Runeterra.
Yes, looks like that. Replicas of characters imported in a magical forest.
Pretty much, but all the characters are from the same universe.
I believe it was kinda described as they all live in the same world but the battles you play in the actual league game probably don't happen. For instance when darius and garen end up on the same team. Granted you could totally make a story where they have to band together and make it possible, they just don't have a reason for ALL these champions to always be fighting. So they basically said what you're playing isn't really cannon.
