Next Lore Event?

6FlagsFunnelCake·Sep 24, 2017·6 votes·651 views

So with the reveal of Evelynn, I've noticed that we hadn't gotten any new major batches of Lore in quite some time. The last one we got was on the Vastaya with the release of Rakan and Xayah, which was almost 7 months ago. I've been constantly teased, as we didn't get a Darkin update alongside Kayn or even an update on the Freljord alongside Ornn (Not even for Anivia and Volibear, or Demi-Gods/Spirits in general?).

So with Evelynn now being confirmed a demon similar to Tahm Kench (and possibly similar to Brand, Nocturne etc.), is it possible we can get a 'Spirit' lore update? Bard, Kindred and Tahm Kench are 'spirits' (alongside possible Volibear and Anivia, but that's another story), but they don't really have a full fledged biography or color stories. Along with that, it's speculated that Nocturne, Brand, Shaco and Fiddlesticks are demons just like Evelynn, can we get a lore update on them?

Signs point to more noxus stuff since daddy Swain is bringing in his vgu train.

I would much rather see updated/expanded lore for the main world than shit lore for a skin line like Star Guardians.

It's not like they aren't doing these. But as we saw in the past, they are tying these lore updates with VGU or new champ releases. Which makes sense, if a guy with a new lore gets introduced, why not giving some more lore for people in his environment.

We can have both. The Starguardian lore did not take away stories for the regular lore. Evelynn will get her VGU in patch 7.20 and she will come with a lore update for demons.

My beef is a whole bunch of lore and extra special additions take away resources which could be dedicated elsewhere. That so much resources were wasted on four champs with an overabundance of love and attention from Riot makes it more insulting.

Well it was said that we'll get some more info about demons with Eves release. This could mean that Eves lore will give some basic info about demons or we might get a small lore update about them.

I mean its not like there are really that many confirmed demons in the game to begin with,with us having currently only 3 Evelynn TahmKench Nocturne (though shaco and beatrice(swains bird) are likely demons as well)

I think Soraka needs a lore update before any of those "spirits".

I think Bard and pretty different, Kindred is the embodiment of death on Runeterra (plus she already has up to date lore) Bard is a cosmic entity able to travel through space and time. I would welcome some TahmKench lore, however. I noticed he isn't tied to Bilgewater despite him being revered there. Like mentioned earlier the next big lore event would probably be Noxus.

Riot Scathlocke mentioned lore bundle updates were unlikely to return

riot has ADD, they make things complicated, then simple, then complicated again. not only are they getting rid of lore batches but they also claim that they wont be doing class updates anymore, which means fighters wont be updated in a batch.
