The Black Mist and a broken family: Looking at the growth of League’s lore in 2021

The ever-expanding lore of League of Legends is still growing each year, with new champions and events bringing light to areas of Runeter that fans have come to know over the course of the last 11 years. This past year was no different. Riot Games took a more head-on approach to finishing stories that have been left open for a while, complete with various dwbacks and canon issues that, although they progressed the world’s lore, also made it confusing to know exactly what fans could trust.

This year, instead of introducing new aspects of lore by implementing new features into the game, Riot focused on growing one aspect of League’s lore over the course of the entire year: the Ruination. This event, long-established in the backstories of many champions from the game’s history, had never been thoroughly explored until this year, connecting new and old champions from across the League universe.
