Ionian boots of Lucidity. I can bet that maybe half of this player community won't know what the flavor text for those boots are when they hover their mouse over them

After watching the grudge match, and Riots wonky explanation of why Ashe was fighting for the Ionians, I was hoping that maybe they'd have a grudge match with Noxus and Demacia, Or maybe Zuan and Piltover.

That grudge match made the lore twist in ways that weren't expected. What would be different if Noxus won? Would Lee Sin still be added to the league? Lee lit himself on fire in protest against the Noxian occupation of Southern Ionia and refused to put himself out until Noxus withdrew from Ionia.

Seeing the attitude of people these days is also somewhat sickening. Everybody, with a few exceptions, is trying to claw their way up to the top. The awful truth is that the top isn't meant for everybody, striving to be the best is one thing, but treating people like stepping stones is another. Sportsmanship is a dead concept and, as much as I hate to say it, encouraging it is like beating a dead horse. Personally it doesn't stop me from trying but getting emo 12 year olds to stop whinning is impossible.

But yes, the most recent time I've had where I sorely missed the JoJ and Judgements was when Ahri was released. Why? Because she's a fox-demon that wants to become human, there could be a billion and a half reasons why this would come to her, instead they give us blue balls by saying she just felt this her entire life.
Those are all excellent points there. I would have talked about that match [I actually did in a Swain monologue I wrote one time] but I felt it was ALREADY "tl;dr" by that point. I love those boots. But without the fluff, there's no creativity to add any champions in such a dramatic matter either. I mean, Lee Sin was shelved for so long...mainly since release. And then they came out with him...I KNEW it would be him the second he came out in the Journal of Justice.

And Sejuani? She might be the sister of Ashe, last time I heard. Might. I haven't read her lore, so I have no idea. There's no incentive to care, in my opinion.

Maybe they can get you to do some writeups for the JoJ, that'd be nice.

Alright, a new day for me. Now I need to see what I can do about all of this. I've been reading threads in the Lore forum and it seems as if they're working on the issue. But it would be nice for Riot to notice the correlation between the Lore and the game instead of lore sitting on the side for being to read.

I think I would like to head that League of Legends roleplay I had started up oh so long ago. I worked nice and hard on it. Plus I still love that Swain monologue.
