My bad. And thanks for the response! I honestly believe Arcane has no right to be as good as it is when it’s “based” on a game like LoL lol 😝
Comment on How is Arcane the series based upon League of Legends, a tower defense game?

Tower defense game is a wild thing to call a MOBA, but no there’s no real story in a given League of Legends match. The characters all have small lore blurbs explaining why they’re fighting though, and those small lore blurbs are what got expanded to Arcane.

Riot actually has short stories, comics, and a few books on the lore of the world. It doesn’t show up in the game beyond voice lines, but some of the broad strokes of the Arcane story had been all but confirmed for years. Legends of Runeterra is also a card game set in the same world that expanded on things by letting champions talk to more minor characters (other cards in that case). And they are working on an mmo that will probably dive into the lore much more.

Didn’t both genres, tower defense and MOBA, evolve from Warcraft III mods / custom levels? I don’t think it’s too outlandish to get them confused if you aren’t into them.
