Narrative
Set in the utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League of Legends champions and the power that will tear them apart. Fortiche Productions made a music video for Riot in 2013 called “Get Jinxed,” which already features Jinx and the city of Pilxover. Riot was so impressed with the work that they asked Fortiche to make an animated series, which took several years. After the release of the first season, Riot announced that there would be a second season and that it would take less time to produce.

I watched it with my parents, who know nothing about the League universe.
I loved it!
I’ve been playing League since 2010, so my opinion might be a bit biased.But my parents were pleasantly surprised. They said that sometimes it’s a little obvious that this series is geared more towards a young adult audience. A bit of pop songs are used and the villain twirled it with his slightly exaggerated mustache.But overall, they liked the first three episodes and wouldn’t mind watching the rest in their free time.As for me. It was everything I hoped it would be and more.
Riot’s art department has always been at its best
And given Fortiche’s track record, I knew there was little chance of a mistake here. Knowing Riot’s art department, I know there’s an excellent story, well-written characters, and a world of stories to pull elements from. All in all, this show is very well done. And it features some of the best talent Riot has to offer.
