Lore has to be specifically commissioned to be made and there isn’t any central “lore time” who goes. Riot does this a lot giving champions like Annie who was given a new backstory with an animated video and was stuck to rot with her old in-game model.īecause Riot just got back to visual and rig updates for champions. Which is VOs when both Varus and Nidalee have ugly ill-fitting models and designs from their old lore. It seems like individuals at Riot were pushing a passion project and could only get it through if they could say it’s to advertise new champions. Or how Nidalee and Varus got new voice lines only when they could be tied into new champions.
It goes back to the whole reboot that got rid of summoners with characters like Shaco still without any lore because Riot couldn’t fully follow up with its reboot with characters like Shaco.
Leaving to Legends of Runeterra Varus having a completely different personality and Varus being so muddled you can’t get attached to his character I’m sure Varus’s lore wouldn’t be as much of a mess if Graham McNeil was able to write more payoffs for Varus instead of the current state of him never having a stable personality or backstory with each new piece of lore Varus receives changing his character. Which means that even if an author wants to do a follow up like with Varus’s story after his retcon they can’t unless people at Riot collectively decide that it can help advertise someone. This has to do with the fact that League of Legends only releases lore when a product needs advertising and not as a product in itself. One of the main issues with League of Legends lore is the lack of follow up.īy that I mean League of Legends is terrible at sustained follow up to its lore.
