Yang Xiao-Long Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 So I keep looking at Riot's decision to rewrite the lore, and I don't know what to think about it.Like, I know why they're doing it, but how they're going about it is something I don't agree with.Like the retcon of the Institute of War. Doing something like that is like taking the "League" out of the "League of Legends."On another note, if anyone wants to play with me, I'm a level 30 summoner who has an avid love for bot matches, with over 2,300 of them under my belt. I do Normals too, but not as often.Summoner name is "Hatsune Miku L" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I just hope they come up with a good in-universe explanation for the League of Legends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyur Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 It was made to settle disputes between nations, as opposed to them just slaughtering each other in wars, right? I can't remember, exactly, but I believe it was something like that, and in my opinion, that's a pretty good explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Nonono. Â The League doesn't exists in-universe anymore. The game isn't you playing as actual champions actually fighting to decide disputes and stuff. You're just playing as characters from Runeterra who aren't actually in any sort of League.

Pyur Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Ah, well that settles that then, disregard what I had said I guess. I don't really follow the lore overall, only specific champion lore, and occasionally some fanmade stuff, like Helmet Bro. As long as they don't touch Renekton and Nasus lore, I think I'll be ok with any changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tentacruel Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well that's kind of silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Er, I'm in the same boat. Just completely getting rid of the Summoners and Institute is a BIT too far for me. But we'll have to see what happens.  Also!  Is it just me, or is Karma top really really good?  Like, Lulu top, but with less utility, an equal amount of disengage, and way more damage?

Tentacruel Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Yeah, not even having Summoners would be just ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 It also destroys a lot of Champions lore. Ex: Lee Sin would be gone (ex-summoner), Renekton would be dead (saved once Nasus was summoned), Cho'Gath would've destroyed the world (bound to the League to keep this from happening).  The list goes on. Same with a bunch of Champion dialogue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm kind of really sad to see these changes, really. I mean, I DO think that the game and professional scene should be prioritized WAY more than the lore, but it still saddens me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyur Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 All these changes, and they're just for the Azir release. Riot pls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yang Xiao-Long Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 All these changes, and they're just for the Azir release. Riot plsIt's just like what they did for the Freljord event with Lissandra's release; turn everything into Freljord."If you look to your left, you will see the Freljord. Now, if you look to your right, you will see Shurima." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 You know, I'd REALLY love one last Shurima-Themed Summoner's Rift before the new one launches. That'd be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EHN. Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 If you looked at the current (old) state of the lore you would realise in how much of a dire need of a rework it was. Barely anyone that played knew the lore existed and for those that did it was hard to even know the whole story. What they are doing is smart, this way everyone will be more aware of the actual background and story behind league. As for changing the whole lore, meh, I guess they did what they felt was necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makο Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 To be honest, you gotta give them credit for their mentality. Instead of trying to hack together some subpar solution that'd let them keep the old lore, they said "Screw it!" decided to go for broke. Being an established game with a monumental fanbase, this was actually a decently risky move.  Can't wait to see what they bring out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHN.

Where you get placed this season doesn't really matter at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHN. Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well I doubt I'll reach 30 this season. Â When does the next one start? Â It's basically a season a year as far as I know, beginning at the start of the year. I only started playing late season 3 so I'm not entirely sure how it works. Â Current Season is 4, next year will be 5 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brinolovania Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I think Rito's said the season ends in November, iirc. Â On a side note, 7-0. Galio OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyur Posted September 7, 2014 Report Share Posted September 7, 2014 I'm pretty sure the season ends when Worlds ends, and then the next season starts very early the following year. Not sure on specific dates. Really looking forward to my Victorious Morgana skin though. <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
