User blog comment:SirAston/A blogpost about Lore that is not about how bad Lore is/@comment-7782121-20131210011444

Nice post putting things in perspective! I'm a firm optimist, so I'm inclined to agree with you, though if I tried to be a little more objective, I'd have this to say: the lore might ultimately be a reflection of Riot itself as a company, IMHO.

It's got its high moments and its poorly designed moments. Some receive no correction, others receive reinventions. Some reinventions are bad, some are alright or different, and some aren't THAT different but actually add more depth or perspective. It's carefully preserving itself, so its ability to advance is limited. Yet despite the limitations of its medium, it still tries to move forward, or if not forward, then to provide new things. And sometimes, they can still surprise is with just one or two little things which are absolute treats to us. Like the Rengar/Kha'Zix 'event', or Nasus's unique taunts to Renekton in his VU.

Some in the community like to (perhaps unfairly) blame Riot for everything, be it bad lore or bad balance, past the point of constructive criticism, but for the most part I see the two as pretty similar: Not perfect, but overall crewed by people who genuinely try their best, and who generally produce decent work. They don't always listen or get it right first time, but they ARE open to feedback, and I admire their persistence. XD
