The best compliment I can give this show is that, speaking as someone who never once cared about League of Legends, there was never once a time when I found myself thinking "Maybe this makes sense if you know the game." They clearly put in a lot of effort to making the story accessible no matter how little you know about the backstory.

[@raptorofwar4415]

I have heard it said that it's vastly better if you pretend the game does not exist, has never existed, and will never exist.

[@SugerFreeJazz]

It doesn't change too much there isn't honestly alot of league lord, and what there is there are big holes to play with in.Also the shows isn't too beholden to the lore and changed stuff slightly ( maybe because legaugue isn't too precious with the lore having already changed it around. Who know the show might become the diffinitive lore?)

[@SugerFreeJazz]

It it would be nice though not thinking about that at all tho.

[@sthepcorms6747]

[@SugerFreeJazz]

@@sthepcorms6747 yeah the changes are one of the reason it's not important to have watched played the games, and how your better of in someway not. Easter eggs are fun.

[@imorstrash8985]

@@jeffbrehove2614 You're in no position to judge her as a person like that, she's never been like that, yeah LGBT stuff has always been on the front of her channel but that's just what she decided to do, it's not necessarily what she is. And even in we judge her only viewing it through her channel, she appreciates the shows she watches for more than the LGBT stuff, sure, she gets very excited whenever she sees representation but that's not the only thing she gets excited about. She loves TOH for more than just Lumity and she loves Amphibia despite of the limited representation. And even if she did just focused on that, is that bad? I don't think so. A bit of advise here, just... Don't man, ok?

[@BGTitanAvatar]

Oh hell yes! Dude you don’t even know! The animation was done by a French studio called Fortiche, I believe. And yes, they deserve all the praise. It took six years to make this thing and it shows! It’s so beautiful. Yep, Vi is voiced by Hailee Steinfeld who is just running the world right now. Hawkeye, Dickinson, Spider-verse, and this. Girl on a roll. The Enforcers wear the masks because the air is so much worse in the Undercity than in Piltover. Same with the water which is why they couldn’t dive after the loot. As soon as you mentioned liking hairless cats I was like “well shit.”

As someone that had Covid, all I can say is I'm happy to hear that you lived. I was sick for 2 weeks, and the last 2 1/2 days I was hoping that I'd die, then I'd chuckle to myself "ha, can't be that lucky." I had a rough 2 weeks there. No hospital either. After I had gotten over Covid, nothing looked the same. Everything felt the same, yet new, that this wasn't my universe and that I didn't belong here. Thinking this feeling will eventually go away (it did) I just dealt with it. But I happy to see you back and really excited to see this reaction.

I love this show so much, and this one point sours the hell out of it for me.

2 reasons(I believe): 1) Shimmer was made to allow a prey to kill a predator(cat and mouse/Piltover and Zaun) 2)there’s a story trope called “save the cat” I believe this is the inverse of that, a “kill the cat” moment
