Hum... I still don't know what to think about the new lore, sure it has potential and can lead to the same route the classic went, but it might also be too much work for a rework and end up with more problems with plotholes and such (which already exist).
About the new designs, a few are better (Morgana is cuter... I didn't think that was possible at all), a few aren't (didn't like the new Pixie, too much of an "It's not a phase, mom!" kind of look), but above all, I hated the noses. And above that! There's a distinct, terrible, unforgivable LOWER AVERAGE TITTY SIZE.
There's new stuff to get used to and obstacles that the dev will need to overcome on the way. I don't know how this will go; it's too early to say. Whether the new lore will be maintained or not, the noses will stay, the boobs will grow or not. I trust the dev, after all, they made the incredible game that was the classic one to the point of needing a rework now. Isn't it incredible how they grow so fast?
Edit: Oh, forgot one thing. I'm very glad to see that the sense of humor is the same. I laughed a lot in this prologue from such small things at times; it was delightful.
