The ups and downs of League of Legends lore reboot#BZfm

The ups and downs of League of Legends lore reboot While the esports and game sides of League of Legends continue to chug along, there was one release that caught my attention: Ryze, the Rune Mage. There was no more League of Legends, no more Summoners, and the Rift was simply a Super Smash Brothers style place for the all stars of Runeterra to gather and fight, with no more actual weight to those games. Debt heavy If Leagues problems as a game can be summed up in one word, it definitely has to be debt. Consider, for a moment, that there are still at least a dozen champions that have lore deeply rooted in the League of Legends that existed pre-retcon two years ago: Fiddlesticks is still the executioner of the League, Nautilus is searching for answers as to his betrayal and original mission, Brand is enslaved by the League, Jax is built nearly entire around the League and its history, and the League is the only place that could accept Lulu. Parallel lore The lore isnt attached to the game anymore, but theres still a necessity to keep it parallel with whats going on. Riot has released minor lore updates and bios quietly without it being part of an event, but it rarely garners the same amount of hype. A long way to go While Riot has made significant headway with League of Legends lore in the two years since their retcon, they still have a long way to go. But what of the foundational trio of Ionia, Noxus, and Demacia? What of Nami, the moonstone, and Fizzs lost empire? Where is Katarinas father, and what of Swains takeover as Grand General? The only answers that Riot can give right now at the moment is a sly wink, a nod, and an encouragement to wait and find out.
