It Would Be Really Cool To Get Some Lore On The Non-Playable Characters Within Runeterra.

Since the retcon, pretty much all of the lore developments focus on specific individuals (champions) which is great and all, but it doesn't give anybody a grounded sense of what Runeterra is like.

In the Former pre-retcon lore, we had the Journal of Justice, which told us lore from normal citizen of Runeterra's perspective.

Post retcon, the new lore is extremely focused on champions, and doesn't seem to comment on the majority of the citizens of Runeterra at all.

Despite what RIot may believe, context is important. If champions are fighting, it helps if we know what they are fighting for.

Retconned Runeterra doesn't seem to take actual champion lore into consideration and implies game's happen in an imagination land.

Riot, you can do better with you lore. So...Do better with your lore.

And again its not surprising that your thread pretty much strays from its own theme and instead goes back to "i don't like the retccon" considering how you go from "side characters are also important" to "the game isn't canon,make it canon again"

Besides the new lore gives a far better impression on how the average citizen lives in runeterra than the old lore ever did. The JoJ was written by regular citizens,but it never went into detail how it is to live in runeterra and rarely focused on non-champions.

Selective memory maybe?

It seems like you missed the whole story about Magga in the extended lore for Kindred.

Or Rafen in both the Burning Tides and Shadows and Fortune

Or the new Pantheon lore with the Rakkor and** Pylas**
