I'm actually going to reopen this one. I realize it's a bit redundant with the post mentioned above, but lore writing is handled by different people from other bug fixes. This is a nicely categorized post that will be easier than sorting through the larger list.

Broodmother's Silken Bola is also missing Lore. Razor's Storm Surge has Lore, but it does not make sense after the ability rework.

@bwvalve How about swapping Storm Surge's lore with Eye of the Storm's? That can be one solution. :)
