They seem to have been on the Valve payroll for over a year, now.  I remember one month I am reading full monthly articles and LOL strategy guides, and the next month DOTA2 went beta and you never heard of LOL again.
I let my subscription lapse and I wish PCG would cut the shit so I can renew it, but not until.
I would write them an email but why would they ever address or admit it? I would bet a dollar that a "what about LOL?" letter has never hit their LTTE pages.

						I honestly think it's been over a year. I dropped them 2-3 years ago, and even back then I barely saw LoL mentioned. 
Maybe they don't play LoL, and instead are huge DOTA2 players. I'd get that, but wouldn't you still at least mention the most played game in the world?
In other news, Riot is rebooting LoL's lore.
I'm very big into story lines in games, and not once did I ever give two shits about anyone's lore in LoL. The game itself doesn't lend itself to telling a story. I'm betting this is more for the LoL RPG that's been rumored.

Just played an ARAM.  I was Brand.  I did very well.
Our team was winning in kills, it was like 40 to 20. Yet they were pushing us back, had our inhibitor dead and we still didn't have a single turret kill.
We pushed then back, killed their first turret.
They pushed us back to our nexus... were 1 hit from victory, we pushed them back. Enemy Yi darted out of the bushes too soon to attempt a backdoor, we caught him and killed him. If he had waited one second we would have passed him and couldn't have caught him. We took their inhibitor turret.
They pushed us back to our half-health nexus, took it down to one hit, we killed them and pushed them back. We took their inhibitor.
They pushed us back to our half-health nexus, had it within a hit of winning, we killed them and pushed them back. Aced them. Won the game.
I have won games with a 100-health nexus before, but never after 3 times and a near-backdoor.
