Post-Noxus lore update, what is the plan now for Sion?
So this discussion was brought up a couple times after everyone was finished reading the Noxus update. As some fans had picked up on the subtle disconnect between Sion's lore from when he was reworked and the lore that was released alongside Swain's update.
Below was the only thing close to an official response over the subject.
Interlocutioner: "Sion's lore is still mostly intact, with changes to Darkwill (he's not centuries old- he wants to BECOME that) and Noxus's relationship with Demacia (not to mention no more High Command, its the Trifarix now) requiring some minor changes. Maybe the Black Rose still helps Swain? Keep your enemies close. We will have to clean this up eventually, sorry about the mess."
At the time I looked forward to the prospects of continuation for Sion lore, like how the MF comic continued her narrative forward after the Burning Tides & Shadow and Fortune story events. That was back when some theorized Sion might get something extra with the Noxus LU. However now we have to wait upon some uncertain time in the future just to have his current lore fixed instead.
So I want to know what you guys think would be the best strategy for handling Sion's broken lore? Could the writers just re-release his current story with minor additions and tweaks, or should the now broken lore be recycled for a revised new biography?
I can't say im too excited by the thought of the latter. On the basis that he was only updated 4 years ago and his background was already re-interpreted to meet the standards of current lore. I mean it could have been cool that Sion was among one of the few champion's whose lore could have legitimately progressed in some major or minor way.
I also can't stress enough that this isn't to bad mouth the narrative department. I have no qualms with the fact that Sion's lore is out of continuity now because I know it's only a temporary issue. Although the thought is frustrating that we don't know when this could be fixed, writers promised to re-visit Noxus this year apparently, but I would be honestly shocked if it were to happen before the coming 6-7 months.
