So I’m completely oblivious about League of Legends, except that I know it’s a tower defense game. I’ve never played it myself, but I am an old gamer in my late 30’s.
My wife and I started watching Arcane today, and watched two episodes. God damn, I’m hooked!! Being a grown up, we had to stop, as we have work, and can’t wait to watch more this weekend. But I just can’t imagine how this world is inspired by LoL. Can someone explain if there actually is a story in LoL?
The game prints enough money that they could afford to have a writing staff and illustration team. I think the idea is that building character depth will make a subset of players more connected to them. This keeps them playing and also increases the odds of them buying a skin for the character.
It’s similar to the Meet The ______ videos from TF2 and the comics that built on them.
