![]() His big crime was fanboying his favorite subfaction of Adeptus Astartes, The Ultramarines. Matt Ward is a name youll see pop up every now and then. Im not actually sure which author the guy is referring to, but i can give a few examples of the worst ones in 40k. As I found it at the peak of Riot seemingly ignoring that the lore of previous characters wasn't replaced to deal with Summoners being removed. I will admit personally I prefer the old lore version as it creates in my opinion a slightly more interesting version of Demacia than what we have though part of it is nostalgia from reading in high school the incredible Spellthief fanfiction which tells a story of Lux's infiltration into Noxus and encountering Katarina which was really good and felt like it was better then most of the lore going on at the time. With the original lore portraying her as someone with a hyper positive exterior as seen in game and in the Journal, but with the Judgment having a young woman who was thrown into service by her family who has no friends and states that she is joining the League of Legends because she has nothing else. Hope it's good, as the garen novel was quite excellent, and hope it sells well too so they're encouraged to make more of these, because i also see a dark path where the big series they make is some star guardians novella collection if these more introspective lore novels don't sell wellįor Lux hasn't there also not at all been constant retcon but rather one major retcon which was connected to the whole changing stuff for Demacia where back with the Institute of War Demacia wasn't anti-magic and she was a child soldier who was a spy who was able to mimick any spells that she saw or read(honestly her old lore she has almost Sylas like abilities). Honestly however this comes off as more elitist than i mean it too, i don't really have a problem with focusing on the more popular champions for skinlines and events because it DOES make sense, and that's not to say those popular characters can't have depth to them but the fact that books or shows don't have to be tied to that and can branch out without being financial disasters is just really nice to see. One of the best things about media projects that aren't League of Legends but have Runeterra lore is that the concepts of 'skin sales more than thematic interest', wherein it makes more sense to make, say, 4 ahri skins then it does to make instead ivern/kalista/azir/skarner skins, because the ahri skins would always sell better (so prioritizing whatever's popular instead of whatever's necessarily 'appropriate') is flipped on its headīecause books, shows, or other forms of media CAN'T get carried by sex appeal or general appeal and instead must be carried by thematic resonance, depth of writing, and other more 'complicated' themes, we get focuses on characters that aren't the standard 'cashcows' because the standard 'cashcows' wouldn't work, and thus there can be more of a drive for passion and creativity first instead of the financial aspects Heimerdinger is the loosest connection, as he's always vaguely been one of the major higher ups in Piltover's learning circles, so he did get more grounding here, yes, you are right about that.Īll of this said, Arcane still isn't canon with the game, as it completely erases a ton of existing lore, notably that Camille's family discovered and marketed Hextech crystals well over 100 years prior to current times. While he's not connected to Jinx/Vi, he's certainly entwined with Jayce, who was the other major face of the story - to have a story about Jayce without Viktor would have been a major problem. ![]() ![]() Viktor had further problems when his creation of Blitzcrank and other advancements were similarly stolen from him by the Academy, forcing him into exile where he festered a grudge against those who slighted him. ![]() Jayce developed his hammer using the shard, which was a culmination of his and Viktor's research, which he ended up taking credit for, leaving bad blood between them. Live Discussion Archive AMAs OrganizationĪctually, Viktor and Jayce, even Heimerdinger, all had some pretty longstanding connections to Piltover and Zaun.
