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?
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.
To be fair, MOBA is a stupid name that could apply to many other types of games as well.
I should look up the etymology…
