Pre-rework Trundle had one of the best backgrounds. :(
Anyways, League and other moba's are in a good place for not having a story mode. Trust me, I love a great story mode as much as the next guy but F2P story modes seldomly convince, even with the amount of work Riot can bring up. Making a story mode would be like making a new game, since none of the game modes right now can relate in any fashion to something like a story mode or any kind of campaign. Also LoL is as stated above a moba. You can't make a moba a continious game.
In addition to all of that, LoL is practically co-op as it is, with people joining together to form a team which needs to play together to win.
For example if you look at diablo, it IS the story mode. Now if you take a moment a see how long it took them to make that game (I won't go into weather or not the game is good since I haven't played it, huge Titan Quest supporter on this side), you'll recognize that something of this scale is sheer impossible without a huge group of people working on making a story mode, and in this case it'd just be easier to make a new game rather than advance LoL. Then again supremacy is coming out quite soon, and it's supposed to be a standalone game so I might be wrong.
I think it'd be cool if they made a graphic adventure game for a few of the champions. I can imagine one for like Katarina, Thresh and Annie etc People with unique or interesting lores :P
Would be funny to have something like it tho. The end boss would be like, a super powerful summoner that summons a baron every second where each baron has 10necks with 10 baron heads. Would be epic :3

But yes, probs never gonna happen.
seriously though, i highly doubt that they even have enough time for a ****ty story mode.
