Look on the bright side! You guys will be able to fight Lao-Shan Lung using various different styles and get to see some of the pain us old timers had to go through in the 1st-2nd Gen! :)

But real talk, I'm super disappointed they didn't revamp Lao-Shan Lung! Its lore gives it a lot of potential: Its shell contains the Dragon Element, it can cause earthquakes and landslides by just simply walking, and it'll destroy any objects in its way, including mountains. Why not expand on that? I get it, Lao-Shan Lung is iconic and isn't really trying to fight the hunter, but this could've been a timing to make the Elder Dragon a bigger threat in-game and not some little bitch (It has even killed a few hunters in lore)!
