I have to strongly agree with you in that the focus of the lore has changed since the early days of LoL. The League of Legends as it is now isn't really represented as the arbiter of law on the continent and more as just a collection of various heroes that might have a reason to fight in the name of a city-state over political disputes.

I'm ambivalent towards it, but I can see what Riot might be thinking with the change. The centerpieces of the LoL world are the champions, not the summoners. They're the most visible aspect of the game rather than some disembodied robed figure that is vaguely meant to represent 'you' in-universe.

Ahri and Wukong I was actually considering to add to that list for the same reasons you stated. They're not really there to add anything to lore but just seem to exist to fill a character niche. I decided against it because they're both fairly recent champions themselves (I know that Sejuani was also 'recent', but her lore was more just reworded than anything else).
