Top Comments of this video!! :3
I just realized something tragic... With Skarner's complete overhaul and lore update to being an Ixtal champion, Riot gutted the Piltover lore. Hextech being tied to the Brackern is no longer a thing. Hextech in it's updated form (Arcane) is now just a magical rock, basically dumbed-down runestones. The Cammile/Seraphine connections to the Brackern is now completely dead.

Just as a reminder, Skerner's original lore was about him waking up first and acting as a protector of his slumbering endangered species - then he had to come to terms with a newly-revealed fact that not only did humans almost cause his species' extinction, they were also unknowingly responsible for their creation as well (due to magical wars they waged). It's a powerful ambivalent feeling with no clear answers for morality, especially as humans were again mining in Kalamanda and harming the Brakern. Skarner had to protect them but also had to get involved in current politics in order to successfully achieve that.
Piltover killing Brackern to plunder their soulstones was something that added clear negative traits to Piltover. Why is narrative scared of portraying Piltover as clearly morally wrong? Even in Arcane, the narrative is treating it as if it is not the sole reason for Zaun's deplorable state.

They will have to change a lot of Piltover lore that was based on the Brakern - Skarner existence. Wasn't Camille 's core lore that of the family in Piltover that monopolised the expeditions for the Brakern-soulheart extractions that led to Skarner waking up and through that they became one of the most influencial and rich families?

what I gather from this extremely detailed video about Skarner's new lore is that Riot Games has an in-house café
