Not a silly question at all! In fact, alot of the players now don't even know that the JoJ and League Judgements existed; so the fact that you know about them means you're awesome :) It seems to me that less and less players care about the backstories of champions and lore of Ionia/Noxus/ect. and just play to kill people without caring =(

Anyways, Riot's lore/judgement/JoJ writters were all the same people; and it was a -very- small department, 4 writters total if I remember correctly. And 4 veteran writters was the perfect ammount to draft up a champions lore, their judgement, and their relation/role in the JoJ in the 2-3 weeks that they had before a new champion is released. Now, unfortunatly, about half of the writters were fired so only 2 original writters remain. (I haven't checked recently if they hired any new ones or not, but I'm sure that there's -only- 2 original.) And now, with only 2 writters working on 3 different, interesting, and unique backgrounds/affiliations every 2 weeks for a new champion... its just too much :( If they would've kept going then the quality would've shown a significant decline.

Why were they fired? I'm not sure why. (Also not sure if they -were- fired, all I know is that they no longer work for Riot- they may have quit or something else. But ~90% of LoL players agree that they were fired.)  Newer players (which Riot -needs- in order to keep LoL up and running) may have had little to no interest in backstories of champions, so they then had no need for a "large" writting team.

Quick note: Around the start of Season 2 (when the JoJ stopped appearing) Riot said they were looking for new ways to convey their lore, but a few Riot employees hinted that it was just "put on hold." so it still has a -small- chance to come back.


 * Conclusion: They either stopped because it was too much work for the now even smaller writting department. Or, because the "demand" for interesting and unique lores for champions slowly started decreasing until it became too low for Riot to do anything with.

Sorry about the wall of text btw. =(
