I don't really see the point in waiting for an update personally, if you're a new player obviously everything will already be new to you whether it was just released or old.

To be transparent, we think that having new people come into the game when there's a lot of fun, engaging conversations on social media (like here on Reddit!) about our new champs, the new set, the latest format changes from Rotation, etc. We want the players who are falling in love with LoR for the first time to experience a welcoming ecosystem outside of the game too.

can we take this to assume that the lor button will be pushed out alongside patch 5.4.0?

Not alongside, but it's tentatively slated for soon thereafter. We're still working out details and scheduling, the League Client is a busy place.

Will there be any other videos / articles about the future of the game around that time, too? Seems like the narrative currently is that the game won’t even get updated ever again after this last patch, when my impression from the last thing Riot said is that the game will be updated, just more sporadically and with a majority of it being Path related content.

Yes, we will have some articles to fill in more details about our future content and release plans. We have plenty of stuff slated for release beyond patch 5.4.
