The lore rework was a stupid move in the first place. Who completely redo a game's lore 5 years after initial launch?
It's not like it was bad, sure it wasn't Great but it was by no means an incompetent set up, the coolest part of the old LoL lores is that it fixed the awkwardness of the champions/heroes/whatever talking to thin air when moving or attacking, but nope they wanna get rid of that.
Also they will need to rework a huge amount of champs' lores, give new explanations to why they even exist (
and
alike I think) and redo some of their quotes as well because of the mentioning of summoners. Also RIP
's humor.
Without League of Legends or summoners, Riot is basically denying that this game is even existing because well our game's name is League of legends. Why do they even fight in the first place? And why are all champions fighting on the rift for eternity (it is even called "Summoner's Rift")?
Urgh I do not know why they do that but really if I were the CEO or something I would actually pull it out (disgraceful but who cares) before more shiet hit the fan.
