@Anyone Who Cares Enough To Respond... What's The Best Starting Point For Me To Get Into Lore?

I really like the lore of League of Legends, and I'd like to delve into it and figure out how it works in a pretty detailed fashion.

I've run into some problems with my research when Riot seemed to retcon it's lore a few years ago. I'm trying to figure out Runeterra's modern story, and it's been pretty hard to do that. There are a LOT of gaps.

This may be a bit of a lofty goal, but I want to understand the lore of League of Legends!

Riot, I think we can all admit that the lore of "League of Legends" is in a weird and confusing state at the moment.

Riot, could you get off your freaking high horse and actual make a decision about your games lore?

Players have been given the run-around by the narrative/lore team for far too long. Please Riot, take this opportunity to be honest with us for once. What's the general direction you have planned for lore creation?

Go to your champions and find the ones with the micro lore's, not even a paragraphs length, then search their old lore, you will get a better picture then the one riot decided to take.(personal suggestion is the ascended brothers Nasus and Renekton, that is true characteristic story telling.) once you feel satisfied, hunt down the JOJ/ Journals of Justus.

there isn't really an ongoing lore with a moba game like league just champion backrounds

If you want to get a good impression for the new lore,then I'd say that the lores of MissFortune Gangplank TwistedFate Graves Kindred Kalista KarthusMordekaiser Thresh Hecarim Illaoi Poppy and Jhin(though he is still lacking the second part of his lore because of localisation issues) are up to date.

Sion Azir Xerath also have full lore pieces and it is very likely that the lores of most 6300-champs are still canon(the newest champ to ever receive a retcon was thresh and even then its debateable since his previous lore was nothing but rumors)

I'd also suggest the burning tides story and the shadow&fortune-story

Is there a place to find the links to all the Lore Events in one place? Because there definitely needs to be

I believe not even Riot knows that.

There is one place that has it all, or should have, but expect half of it, to not be true since like 2014.

Look up Necrit on youtube, he breaks it down pretty well.
