Maybe it really is what you say, but I just find the new lore rather generic. One thing is sure, they could have delivered it in a much better way, instead of rushing it out of the door. Just as Galio and Swain brought an introduction for Demacia and Noxus into the new lore alongside expanded/remade lore for characters, they should have used Irelia's rework as a chance, or the future Aatrox rework (if we want to focus on either the Darkin bow Varus or the story of the lovers) to do it. This felt extremely random and unannounced - it's not like the other new splash arts have suddenly brought messy lore updates to their characters with them.

Had they developed it like Galio and Lux's new lore - both of which I genuinely like, despite Lux's story playing on a bit of a cheesy trope (the petricite "medicine" she was supposed to take to limit and suppress her powers felt quite horrifying by how they described it) of the misunderstood talent, just like Galio plays the role of the "gentle" giant -, it would have been better.
