I know that it came out relatively long ago and almost everyone watched it, but on this forum I did not find a discussion of this series. I want to ask the players who have been playing LoL for a long time, do you like the way the characters, graphics, the plot itself are presented there and would you like to continue?

for admins I will add that the series is based on the LoL game, so do not ban the thread, it is suitable for this section of the forum

havent watched. have zero interest and would have preferred if that budget was allocated to riot actually doing their job properly, which is maintaining their game.

so, that series has an insane storyline compared to what you find nowadays on Netflix + it brings in a lot of new players. you have no idea what you talk about and your preference makes zero sense.

p.s. it is a great series and it made my noob friends want to try the game. (they play aram from time to time).

It's phenomenal.

I'm not terribly interested in league lore or story, but the art and animation are easily top notch, and the overall story direction is 10000% about expanding and exploring the world and offering new insight into the characters that has literal nothing to do with LoL or how the game is played. It isn't trying to explain what summoners are, it isn't trying to justify why champions are champions, it's just telling stories in the greater league universe, and it does it -wonderfully-

Just watch it. It'd fare well as a standalone animated show, and if the fact that it has subtle nods to game characters and mechanics appeals to you, it'll only add to the experience for you.

what doesnt make sense? riot paid for its production, presumably in the millions. meanwhile their competitive games are riddled with bugs, their client sucks and their dev team are seemingly the cheapest guys they could afford in the industry. its a no brainer where i would want those millions invested into

It was pretty solid. Feel like it needed one more episode fo fix some pacing issues.

The gameplay has been decoupled from the lore for years now.

Sure, but my fear with non-game gaming media is that it'll try recouple it and do some dumb shit like explain why Summoner's Rift exists.

As for Evilfatsh1t one of the few redeemable qualities of Riot in my mind is that they devote a fair amount of resources to art instead of more skins, though I still constantly fucking laugh at how terrible the league client is. It's kind of mindblowing that they haven't just made "LoL 2" or something and rebuilt the client from the ground up, but this is also the company that spent like 2 years hyping up new maps for League that just casually faded away, so at this point I kinda just expect Riot's actual games to just be okay.

I don't follow the non game content Riot puts out, but I think it's a good thing because it means new champions aren't just completely random designs. The old lore was a complete mess and I think it even had contradictions. Game is also very unfriendly to new players, this is basically the only way to get people into it.

LoL 2 is a massive endeavor, but at this point Riot is accruing more and more technical debt that no amount of patching will fix (the client has never worked since the inception of this game). Just seeing the current spaghetti interaction with the order you buy items is enough to show that. Wild Rift is the closest we have to a remade game, I don't play it but my understanding is it's fairly bug free and cleanly designed. Maybe Riot could build it up for a few more years, and then use it as a basis for a PC version?

It's absolutely fantastic. It's insane how many of my friends who do not care about League of Legends who fell in love with this series.


One of the most stunning things about it, was how patient they were with tying into the game. Like, I feel most adaptations would have VI in the gauntlets like 2 episodes in tops.

Eh, they've made a tremedenous amount of improvement over the years, it's not like its still built on adobe air. They've clearly re-invested into the game.

I don't play LoL at all but the Netflix series is amazing.

Also I don't play Dota at all but the series is amazing aswell. first and second book are amazing, third book (which was released about 3 weeks ago in germany netflix) is very boring for me.

Just reviving this thread as season 2 just came out.

My 4K disc of season 1 arrived just a few days before season 2 started and I binged the whole season again in a couple of days.

I am pretty into nice picture and audio gear myself, and this gotta be one of the best demo disc there is.
The audio mix and the visual is significantly better than the netflix streaming version, which was already decent.

Last time I was this impressed is Puss in Boots 2.
I am watching it on an OLED TV and there are moment I rewind just to enjoy the visual all over again.

As for season 2, I was a bit worried it would have a slower start so viewers will take time to remember all the events, but very happy with how they went into it.
What a show
