i remember a few weeks back i was like "Damn, you know what LoL really needs? An annie cinematic and lore rewrite!" i totally wasn't thinking about like, balance, or what if they brought back the item active effects on support items. Nah, what i really was looking for was a cinematic for a five year old character.

but don't stop HERE, no! do cinematics and rewrite the lore for EVERY SINGLE ANCIENT CHAMPION, because god knows that's what everyone really wants! the thing that's really cool is how much impact it has on the actual game, so much is changed knowing that annie is a stereotypical orphan and varus is made of gay dudes. it's like, how can you even call it league of legends, it makes the game that much diferent. i think it should be called league of legends 2: annie and varus have different lore now, because it totally isn't the same game.

You do know the lore team is separate to the gameplay team, right?

So your first half of the post disses characterisation of the characters because you view doing things to their story and whatnot is insignificant and secondary to game balance, and that lore updates are supposedly pointless as game balance should have more focus in your words.

But then later you claim that because they're changing the characters' story, they're trashing the game, which would mean you contradict your earlier implications because you now view character stories are not only integral but central to the game's core identity.

So which one is it? Is it not important, or is it very important? You can't have it both ways, simultaneously trying to satisfy 2 statements with conditions that go against each other.

........

Not to mention, story writers don't code the game, or worry about the game's balance. They're different groups of people in the development team, with different area of authorities and responsibilities. So this thread is a bit moot anyway.
