In my opinion the problem stems from Riot prioritizing making their characters look cool while interacting with each other, leaving little to no room for worldbuilding. Take the Bilgewater event, in short it is the story about how Miss Fortune overthrows Gankplank shortly before the dead people attack. The whole thing was a mishmash of champions befriending/fighting each other which when you really think about it didn't have much closure. Oh sure, MF did beat GP but it wasn't final, he is still alive and will remain alive. Lucian confronted Thresh but that didn't go anywhere. We learn TF and Graves were friends, then enemies and now friends again. And Olaf was kinda there.

The only interesting bit for me was the whole Nagakabouros thing Illaoi had going in this story to be later expanded in her background. It is a strange religion from a strange culture that poses a diferent outlook on the world, thats interesting. And now with Aurelion Sol saying "You do no understand your god, Illaoi", him being an ageless creature and whatnot, that's really interesting.

I think they nailed it with Tahm Kench, his background tells us a bit of who he is and the themes he embodies, all framed as a Folklore tale, I thought it was neat.

PD: English is not my native language, some faulty grammar and spelling might have slipped through.
