Soraka Lore Retcon

Since you are redoing a lot of the stories for different characters (most recently Annie) can we get a Soraka lore update since her whole lore has been retconed since the Warwick update. Keep the whole star child aspect, and descending, but instead of being tricked into staying (by reflexively using her powers for self defense) she selflessly stay to... idk protect some wounded people from Noxian troops or like Darius/Swain/Draven. I'm spitballing, but at least temp update by changing away Warwick's name to something generic/ just make them a background character because it has been over a year and it is depressing to see nothing, not even a small fix, for my star child. C'mon guys.

Thank you for reaching out!

Soraka is definitely on my personal priority list for lore update. It was promised before I arrived at Riot, and still nothing - I will push harder from this side... :-)

A wanderer from the celestial dimensions beyond Mount Targon, Soraka gave up her immortality to protect the mortal races from their own more violent instincts. She endeavors to spread the virtues of compassion and mercy to everyone she meets—even healing those who would wish harm upon her. And, for all Soraka has seen of this world's struggles, she still believes the people of Runeterra have yet to reach their full potential.

It's probably placeholder lore, but I'm guessing that's how Riot will write Soraka in the future.

I always saw Warwick and Soraka as a kind of rival lover relationship. In the first lore he is her antithesis who welled such hatred in her heart that she cursed him, losing her divinity in the process. In the second she grew close to him, only to be tricked and betrayed by Warwick. I love what they've done with Warwick's lore, but I'm really hoping Soraka's will somehow tie them back together even in a small way.
