User blog comment:SirAston/Gnar's Lore OR How Riot decided to un-lore/@comment-5035765-20140801194116/@comment-5035765-20140802231748

You know, Oda, it kinda sounds like you're saying characters shouldn't have any depth to their lore because people who aren't fans of the character won't look at it... Which is just STUPID. If you're making something and only cater to the people who don't like things, you'll never reach a satisfactory state because people will ALWAYS bitch about things.

I reinterate... From the perspective of someone who specializes in making characters, Gnar's lore is TERRIBLE because it tells us NOTHING about the character that you can't tell from just playing him, or watching someone else play them. Every other character has at least SOMETHING in the lore you can't tell from their quotes and stuff, which is WHAT HAVING SEPARATE WRITTEN LORE IS FOR. There are SO many things they could have told us about him, but just didn't. Why he turns into a monster, how he ended up a yordlesicle, what the hell that hentai monster in his preview is... but no, the lore department decided to make like Willy Wonka and be like "You get NOTHING.  YOU LOSE.  GOOD DAY, SIR."

oh, and I have no problem with characters with little connection to the others... though I personally am fine with retcons giving connections, too. Like, I don't mind Trundle being moved, though moving him to the Freljord wasn't the best choice, lol...
