Is anyone staying for League's lore & stories than the actual game?

Let's face it, League currently as a game is just shit right now. Top lane is reserved for tanks or whoever is busted (as well as Hashinshin ranting on about it non-stop nowadays), games still feel like stomps/snowballs, damage is through the roof, ADCs continue to feel dominant and manage to abuse almost every kind of item they can get their hands on, the list goes on and Gameplay boards are more than happy to bitch about it (though to provide how to fix said issues, not so much).

But god dammit, the lore and world building of League is just getting better every time! Seriously, this last lore update for Noxus I feel was the best so far. It went from thee stereotypical bad guy nation of Runeterra to a somewhat logical and bit more human society. Still not entirely the best with the whole conquest thing but still, nevertheless.

I've been more interested in how the world of League is updated to this actual functioning world where there isn't a stupid League to keep things in balance. I love the redesigns of these locations, the styles and cultural looks these places have. I'd seriously love to have an entirely new game only to explore the world of League, either like an MMO like people have suggested or even a single player game. Hell, I'd settle for a RPG game that I could actually get my friends to play. The possibility is there and undoubtedly some may have made some D&D adaptations of League in their campaigns, so why not Riot create their own? They've already made a board game.

Basically, when it comes down to it, I love the story and world of League more than the game right now. The game just isn't enjoyable for me as it was in the past and is still continuing to do so. But the lore of League I feel is the opposite and is really the only thing keeping me attached to anything about this game, even if I just stop playing the game altogether.
