@Riot, Can We Talk About Your Story & Art Resources?

It strikes me that players don't really know much about what kind of resources you guys have.

Perhaps we may have overly high expectations on what you guys should be accomplishing in terms of lore updates and story development of Runeterra.

That being said Riot, you guys have admittedly seemed kind of dodgy over the last year or two when discussing your lore staff lately, especially about its future.

@Riot, let's start talking again. Seriously, if you guys lack the ability to release/re-release/retcon lore on a consistent basis, us players would most likely be way more understanding if you guys talked to us about the kind of challenges you face as developers, and why some of this new content is taking so long.

Riot, we used to have something special here. Outside of the random few extremist fans demanding what they want in a particular way (sorry if that was me at some point), I really believe that the community that actively posts on the Story and Art boards is a good solid one that cares about the state of LoL's lore.

Seriously, let's get back to the old days when we could informally talk about random ideas that you may or may not include in the game...that was a huge part of Riot's charm.

Let's get back to the days were we could talk shit out directly with Rioters!

Let's start talking details again!

And Riot, if you're smart...you should let those details inform your lore direction.

Like you used to.

Although that's just my opinion. One of many,

I totally agree. We'd understand and feel less angry if we knew, for example, that you only have one person working on lore right now who can barely keep up.

A few things:

  1. I do agree and believe Riot could, and should, at least let us know what's up. I know a lot is in the air, but it would be nice to know that there's fan interaction in the boards here and people can learn what's in the works. I remember an earlier thread where a Rioter posted how it's difficult to entirely do so as they'll need to do it across the board to all their servers, which needs people to translate for them.

  2. Impetual, I think (maybe I'm full of myself) that my words got to you. This is a solid thread that puts all the feels in one post and explains what you want and why. All I'll ask is this: please, whenever you plan to put up a new thread, keep it to this quality at the minimum. I can see you care a lot for the lore, so it sucks when your presentation of that appreciation for lore looks like angry gibberish.
