Lore

[quote=Latest Legend]I was browsing the web when I stumbled across this: http://forums.na.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?p=3511570 I've never really been into the whole lore part of League - though I did read the Lore of every champion I played - but I was quite impressed by just this random post at itself. The whole vibe of context it gives off completely surprised me. For those who haven't heard yet, Rito's planning to drastically change the lore and what the League universe looks like, probably removing the concept of "summoner" or even "league" altogether (don't quote me on this). In this thread I would like to hear your opinions and experiences of both the "old" lore and what is yet to come. Do you care about the lore or have you never been interested in this aspect of the game? What do you think about how the lore has evolved up until now?[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]You can't change the entire lore of a project mid way through. God Riot's writing team is so stupid sometimes. Oh well, it is heavily anime so it's not like it'd matter anyways.[/quote]

[quote=BlueArtist]It was really dumb considering every doubt against removing the league and summoner was given a reply asking us to "imagine they never existed". It's not a gradual removal of the element in the lore, it's simply erasing it and telling people it never happened.[/quote]

[quote=Toshabi]Riot should just stop. Their animations are pretty stupid enough as is. We don't need a dumb back story for a game that no one's going to give two shits about. THIS AIN'T A MMO RIOT![/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]What do you think of the link I posted above though? I was quite surprised by the mention of indoctrination, it gives me a whole other look at Demacia.[/quote]

THIS AIN'T A MMO RIOT![/quote] I give quite a lot of shits about the lore of the champions, maps and events etc. so speak for yourself. OnT: I always thought the idea of summoners was a pretty poor execution of trying to make the game and the lore go hand in hand, so I'm no entirely mad about the change. It is frustrating though that they change their mind in the middle of it all. I would have prefered to have the new canon from the start. That said, I understand why Riot did this and I think that it is for the best, but poor decision making from the start of the lore.[/quote]

[quote=Kadius]People play mobas for gameplay not the story. Don't fuck up the gameplay and she'll be right...[/quote]

[quote=Latest Legend]I think that we all understand quite well that the main point of the game is gameplay. I would still like to discuss it with those willing to discuss it though.[/quote]
