Became available at 10pm EST. 3 episodes per week.

Great animation. A back story of Vi and Jinx, also with Jayce, Caitlyn and others.

First 15 minutes are slow before it picks up. Really well done so far.

It's so much better than I thought it would be. The animation is gorgeous and I think the voice work is really good.

Im interested to hear some thoughts from people unfamiliar with the game.

Never played the game. This show is beautiful. That ending was brutal too.

I know the name is a game, but that's it, I found the story very well done.

The basic plot, trying to unlock and control magic with technology, is an interesting one. The characters were well developed, I can't think of a person that got screen time and lines that they didn't flesh out well except maybe some of the guards. And the visuals were great at conveying the action and building a dystopian, steam punk world.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the series.

The second set up 3 episodes came out today. Man the animation is just out of this world. Never thought there would be a sex scene in this, or a yordle in a gimp suit .

The second set of episodes keeps up the quality pretty good. Looking forward for the finale next week.

Having played both PC and mobile versions, I ALMOST caught the onions during the ending of episode 6.

This series has so much potential with many other regions and characters. Particularly starting with origin stories.

So. Much. Lore.

Season 2 was confirmed as being in production on Riots twitch channel.

I really wasn't expecting much going in but goddamn they really hit it out of the park with this series. It's even better as a fan of league seeing all the little winks and nods to the game.

My only wish for season 2 is for them to reference Kled. Maybe Heimerdinger could say he has a crazy cousin or something.

I just binged this show in the last 3 days. I didn't even know about it till earlier in the week. I had played a little LoL when it first came out but was never my thing. I had no idea they created all this lore around the game over the years.

It's such a good show, great story and animation. Definitely will be watching the second season. I hope the company that does the animation gets involved with other projects. I'd love to see some W40K at the same level of quality.

Finished this one up in two days. I am not huge on watching animated shows/films but this one was so well done at times I didn't feel like I was watching animation. Beautiful art and a bad arse story, so well done. Looking forward to season 2.

Never played LoL,but this is one of the best shows I've seen in a while. All the characters are interesting and complex, especially Jinx. If the Joker and Harley Quinn had a baby it would be Jinx.

Binged it yesterday (stayed up way late to finish).

Very good. Animation, story, characters were all top notch. Last episode was brutal. Jinx makes Harley Quinn look like Little Orphan Annie.

Maybe played one game of LoL, and was never really interested in it, but this show might have me hooked on the world. Animation was gorgeous or course, but the voice acting and plot lines were all top notch as well.

One of the best shows, not just animation, I've watched in a while. Pumped for season 2

4 eps in, and it's really good. One of the better things I've seen lately, and while I'm a fan of animation, these graphic anime things usually aren't on my list.

Glad I checked this one out.

Never played the game, but that steam-punk world/animation is gorgeous. The amount of thought they put into the details of the costumes to the furniture to the architecture, etc.. is jaw-dropping.

The story is pretty good, but not the greatest. It and the animation made me binge the whole season in one day.

So are Vi & Caitlyn gonna be a couple in Season 2? They definitely have a connection.

Apparently Vi & Catilyn are an item, but I'd be fine if they weren't gay. I mean, it should be fine to have same sex characters who are hetero be close, and just be friends. See Sam and Frodo. Or even if one is gay, and not the other...but I digress.

But I think in the source material they are a couple, later on, so here it makes sense.

How did Netflix nail this one so well but fail so miserably on other shows? Namely Cowboy BeBop. Already cancelled, 3 weeks after its release.
