    I think ultimately going for a darker, more grimy theme/palette really helped solidify the series and set it apart from the League franchise and its competitors (think the brighter, commercial colours of Overwatch, etc.)

      Well the Series started as something that would be directly connected to the Games, so the way it looked like back in 2015 very much made sense.
      They changed it to be its own seperate thing only like 3 years into the entire production.
      So what we are seeing in the Test Animation, is basically the visualization of their 1st Major Theme.

      @@raylosman815 There are other games in its niche, Blizzard actually has one of its own (Heroes of the Storm.) However, if you were to describe the gameplay of League to someone, they wouldn't really be able to place any of the other games. It is technically dishonest to call Overwatch a competitor to LoL - they're two entirely different types off game (OW is a first person shooter, League is a top down MOBA)

      They think it's a sign of... I don't know... societal corruption? Secret agendas?

      i'm so glad they changed their designs, especially vi. her final design looks better and also narratively makes more sense than her original game design.

      @@duckytaco8112 The main differences between this and Arcane from what I see are the color grading, and character design. The blend of hand drawn effects and lighting on top of 3d rendered characters are very similar to Arcane, though enhanced in the end product.
