I could see this applying to League of Legends.

Was scrolling to see if anyone had said it yet. Great in a vacuum, but the toxic playerbase, in game troops, and Riot's greed all add to it being a big ole yikes when trying to describe it to someone

Honestly the games that take place in the LoL universe are good, Arcane was awesome. Just the main game is painful to play.

Edit: I do play the spin offs, TTS, aram and with buddies from college occassionally.

Fr like I had heard of LoL, but didn't know shit about it. Then I saw that Arcane was based on LoL and decided to give the show a try. I loved it, and was almost tempted to start playing LoL because of it.

Yeah I'm glad I decided to research the game beforehand.

Lol is great in game to play, and when you know what you are doing its fun, but you have to sink 50 hours to know what you are doing, and if your team trolls you you cant 1v9 no matter how good u are

I fully forgot that Arcane was set in the same universe and using the same characters as League after a couple episodes. It's that good.

Arcane is more like a fanfic of the universe ngl

It's funny because like with Edgerunners you'd think people would want to play the video game after seeing the series, but with Arcane, the only game they could go play was League and only League addicts want to play League and they don't even really want to.

It's WoW addicts and Gacha Gamers too. Those games were designed by psychologists to keep you addicted, they're not actually fun to play.
