Despite its true that this frees alot of champions with close ended lores, the change that, for me, hurts the most is the lost of the institute; you may feel that you can write lores more open ended, but now there is no actual sense in having all these characters on the same place.

Since we now have this segregation, now the Lore is akin to a fan-fiction, ever updating with an expanding universe, but what we see as the game is now only an spin-off of the aforementione.
