I just finished season 2 now. Without much spoilers, it was a real mixed bag. Some parts were amazing, some parts were very mediocre, all parts felt very rushed and poorly paced. I still liked it, but I would give it a 7/10 rather than the 10/10 starting season…
That said, episode 7 was fantastic. The only episode where the writers let characters actually talk for more than 30 seconds.

Very clearly rushed so they can move on to Noxus.
#nooticing how grounded S1 arcane is and then riot urged arcane writers to make it about multiverse time loop crap.
I watched both season 1, for the first time, and 2 in the last month. And thoroughly enjoyed all of it. I’m excited to see what else comes next, even if it’s not a direct sequel like rumors say. I didn’t have an issue with the many threads they were trying to discuss, and liked how they brought them all together.
The game itself is extremely hectic and lives in short glimpses into the characters lives in their battles, and I feel like these quick and brief glimpses reflects that well for me. And I also felt that each glimpse flowed together and built upon the greater story very well.
If I were to have a complaint, it’s that I want more and wish that the game itself had a single player story driven campaign with elements like WC3.
It could have used an extra season, but the money they spent on this show was already a gamble. I am honored to have been able to experience a studio really give their all to make this show. They did a lot within the 9 episodes they were given. Visually it’s a master piece and I am just happy I got to see Ekko with his sword, even if it was for a little bit.
This show will definitely be something I rewatch throughout my life.
I was always interested in the League of Legends lore, but could never get into the games, and was off-put when I found out the games don’t really use the lore. I hope they are able to continue with other stories in the future. I may give a shot at some of the riot forge games, even though I know that’s closing down.
Haven’t watched it at all, just curious:
Did they talk about where Jayce’s crystals come from?
I liked it A LOT but I’m an absolute league lore freak and a dweeb who likes my stories to be incoherent and inconsistently paced lol. I feel like I liked the end of season 2 in the same way I like the end of evangelion if you know what I mean. I get why there are mixed reactions to it.
I was planning on binging season 2 like I did with 1 but am struggling to get past episode 4 ;_; So far it’s a 5/10.
It was all over the place, I barely knew what was going on half the time. The story felt empty and meaningless. Visuals were nice though.
3/10.
