User blog comment:Reilock/Trundle Rework: Thoughts/@comment-1188866-20130404114629

The good thing about the rework is they are making a massive lore to be added in Runeterra, it's not just about Trundle, its about Freljord. Yes I agree that Trundle's old lore was great but his new is too, maybe a little short on development and detail but he has a stronger character as the Troll King. In the old one, he abandoned his tribe after being humiliated bu in his new one, he tried to find a way to be recognized, every effort even in the face of death just for the survival of his tribe, even if he has to pledge his life to the Ice Witch.

But anyways, this massive change in the lore is all about the imminent war in Freljord, Three great powers fighting for control, two with the same goal and one who hid in the shadows carefully making her plans. Trundle joined the Ice Witch for their survival, Volibear was turned into a shaman and foresaw death in a vision foretelling war, given power by the storm and became their tribe leader, joined Sejuani, finding that their survival lies within her. Anivia, a guardian of Freljord finally withdrew from watching from the side lines joined the war in order to protect a land who gave birth to her.

This in't just about a change in lore for trundle? This is a massive addition to the lore of League of Legends that has gone stale and stagnant for months. This is about an imminent war, this is about champions struggling to protect for what they have and believe in. Just imagine what could happen, its a three way battle, Lissandra & Trundle, Ashe & Anivia, and Sejuani & Volibear. And Quinn and Valor is returning to Demacia and i believe that reinforcements will come to prevent the impending war. Ashe and Sejuani having a common goal might even become allies to defeat a common foe.

The only problem is though, they're missing that cause that they joined the League, maybe they defeated Lissandra and was forced to join the League as her prison and they also too in the League to keep her in check while Trundle still bound in servitude to the Ice Witch.

I'm happy for Riot because they're trying to put something into their lore which I believe only a few players even bother read.
