The whole point of lore updates is to tie every champ together while also getting rid of any references to the League. The League of Legends is no longer canon. The reason they do this is so that characters like Tahm Kench can exist. He's not a real being, but a demon. Maybe even a demon that doesn't exist. "'Now when that hungry beast finally did arise: the family screamed and fought. And although the Gambler tried to cast him out... it ate the gifts, and house, and gold! For its hunger? Nothing satisfied." ' Is Tahm Kench an actual living thing? Or is "Tahm Kench" merely the Gambler's addiction to gambling, ruining everything he loved. What we know as the "League of Legends" is just an imaginative game where we can pit creatures and beings of another world against each other and battle. But in the world of Runeterra, the League doesn't exist.
