Yeah, not just the execution is better than in the game, obviously - as the previous answers already stated. But also the concepts themselves. I think one can see that some years have passed and the male gaze (of the creators as well as that of the game's male target audience) was less dominant in Arcane's character design decisions - which is great. I like both versions a lot - esp Jinx's.
I mean they only had fluff - there was no real story before, was there? I loved arcane. Never touched LoL in my life. I am enamoured with Arcane's visuals and storytelling.
@@robrobusa well, there were some interesting things, a few years ago they put new mini stories on the official lol page for various champions and most were interesting, of course it's not as deep as it is now in arcane
Well it depends on the medium. In moba’s you need a character who has a distinct look and personality so they’re recognizable at a glance, even more so with a game like league with 150+ characters. While arcane’s Vi looks better in a realistic setting, if you use her promotional moba skin she’s hard to see and less recognizable. Same with all the other members, besides Ekko, who really just looks better.
I saw a post in twitter saying that one of the writers confirmed that the goggles Vi is wearing in game isn't Claggor's, those type of goggles are just the standard look.
Of course they have. Arcane is a real series. Without personality and character development it would not be a good series. Before it was just cinematics to promote the game.
@ATF yeah but we are talking about the cinematics in General. From their first to their latest. Not just whats shown in the video. We are campering all the cinematics to arcane.

@@69codm90 It was. Check it yourself. They've been working on Season 1 of "Arcane" for 7 years. Well, technically 6,5 years, but it's not much of a difference here.
It also helps if the production team is enthusiastic about what they’re making. You can feel the blood sweat and tears that went into this show. This was a passion project.
in the game most of the women look the same, its like the designers just use 1 deviant art base and change the hair colour and clothing. arcane they actually have someowhat different features and asymmetrical features at that too, its just perfect, its grungy but still pleasing to look at. just wish they would have given vi a more muscular build because of her fighting style and character story.
Vi is pretty muscular in Arcane. I do wish her in-game model showed off her physique a bit more. Especially her default splash art, it doesn't look like her arms are as buff as they should be.
@@NomastiAfricanWarlord She has muscle, yes, but her entire design reeks of the male gaze. It feels uninspired. Her design in arcane makes more sense with her character, and her being more broad shoulders and stocky with a flatter chest, rather than being typically hourglass shaped honestly makes her more attractive imo
Ripped Vi is so much more hotter than Barbie doll Vi… and I like the smaller tat under her eye, is less goofy and more “that’s someone you wouldn’t mess with”.
The best decision Riot made when working on Arcane was changing Jinx's character. I definitely think more people legitimately relate to her in the show than they do in LoL. She's no longer just some sort of comic relief
She was what is called a manic pixie dream girl. A crazy woman that has links to symptoms of various mental illness and likes to cause criminal level harm. These characters are not usually made with the intent of seriously representing mental instability and illness. As you said, they're made to be funny and entertaining. In Arcane, people with schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder said they related to her, outside of the artistic depiction of hallucinations, which means it was done very well
I like how female characters all got ''down graded'' to a more human looking form, almost making their originals look like porn parodies meanwhile ekko is: absolute glow up, no questions asked
idk man, I think the female characters got just as much of a glow up as Ekko did. The fact that their new designs make the old ones look like porn parodies should say a couple things about those old designs. They all actually look like _people_ now
KEEP IN MIND: These animations were made before Arcanes release. It would be so cool if we got future Riot animations that carried on the unique facial features of the animated series! (I admit Vi already looks really good in the two and I can see her “face” in both versions clearly. It seems like the animators of Warriors were able to loosely reference Arcane before it’s launch. And for some reason, Jinx will always look like Jinx but now we have more of a detailed reference 😂)
Most of the Female Characters were made on the same 3D Model (because it was easier to animate then), so yeah. For the Male Characters, it was just a trope of "It's an Underground City."
I don't think that's the case. Ekko, for ex, is 16 in game but his version of Arcane is currently 19-20. Meanwhile I heard Jinx is suppose to be older than him in game, but in the series she's a little younger, so they definitely changed stuff from the game
That's because it's not an Origin Story. It just happens Years before League itself. "Arcane" was originally meant to be an Origin Story for all those Characters, but at some point during production, they decided to just make a Story that happens in the Past. The Characters' Backstories are either a lot different or slightly different, than their Backstories in the Main LoL Universe. The Events are also happening differently and some didn't happen at all.

In the Main Universe, it was created by House Ferros, and was in use years before Jayce went into a picture; whereas in the Show, it's Jayce and Viktor who created Hextech and the Hex-Gates. - in the Main Universe, neither Jayce nor Caitlin's Parent weren't ever on the Council (Jayce was just an Inventor under a patronage of House Ferros), and instead it's a Member of House Ferros that is on the Council; whereas in the Show, Jayce and Caitlin's Mother are on the Council, and House Ferros is never actually mentioned. The Show itself is its own Universe, and isn't actually Canon to the Main LoL Universe. It's just based on it.
What cinematic creators for games seem to not understand very often is that movement is the thing that sells it. Extremely high res, high detail character models can never cover up animation that doesn’t do it justice. Arcane looks like a cartoon by comparison, and yet it looks infinitely better because it has a consistent art style with incredible animation.
@@waterworks111 He was talking about Hair Styles. And ironically enough Dreadlocks are actually a Hair Style mostly associated with black people, for numerous reasons.
I think it would be a smart move to make a borderlands/arcane art style story game. I know little to nothing of league but from what I’ve seen it’s an arena type combat game with mindless action. I will likely never play the game for a multitude of reasons. However, as I said I think it would be a smart move to turn the arcane series into a borderlands semi open world steampunk style game. First person or third. Either way the league lore is very interesting and there is much to explore
Those massive gauntlets in arcane I thought were useless because they are heavy and doesn't make you stronger. The original makes much more sense because it is part of her exoskeleton. Other than that everyone's design look much better in arcane.
I'm pretty sure the Arcane gaunts had a weight-null feature bc of the gemstone. In the show, it was shown thay the gaunts suddenly get heavier when they're too damaged to work
@@theschnoozler465 weight-null feature? Do you understand the physics behind that? Try throw a weight less rock at me? I bet you it will hurt as bad as a paper ball. In this case your basically punching someone with bigger hands but the same force. This gauntlet are good shields but not punching gloves.
I mean, it IS magic so it's not supposed to make sense XD But if we're goin the scientific route, I bet it'd still hurt if someone swung at you with this: th-cam.com/video/GeyDf4ooPdo/w-d-xo.html
Not how they look in gameplay so does not count. Many games have cinematic scenes but does not mean the game is as good as the cinematic portraits. It's just about time a game company finally put in their money to make their cinematics into a real series. I'm hoping other companies will do the same.
@@TheCursedCat1927 Lol nope. It doesn't. Any smart gamer knows this. You do not go by the cinematic to judge how good a game is. You wait for the in-game footage and how much the game allows you to control. It may count to you but not for me. I'm smarter than that and been a gamer since the very first came out.
@@elbandito5411 1. Being a gamer has nothing to do with this video. I've been as well, and somehow I'm not braging about it. 2. The video is about the DESIGNS. Which are literally the same in both the Game and the Cinematics.
@@TheCursedCat1927 again. It is to make you attracted to the game. That's what it's designed to do. I'm done trying to make you see the error in your thinking. School is closed today.
@@elbandito5411 I'm not arguing over what's a point of the Cinematic - and I never did. From the beginning I was talking about the Video's Comparision. It compares desings from "Arcane" to those in the Game. And since the Cinematics have quite literally the exact same Designs, the video's creator used them. That's what I was talking about.
Dang i didn't play League so i didn't know Ekko had that mawhawk! I don't know why but he looks like a candle😭 I much prefer his arcane hair, it looks really good on him.
One thing I think is so cool it that they kind of added like... weight to Vi's gauntlets in Arcane. Like, in Lol, she moves around as if they weigh nothing, but in Arcane, when she wears gauntlets, instead of her usual sharp, accurate, punches, she does these wild haymaker swings that nearly lift her off her feet sometimes. Like, compare the way she fights when she's fighting Sevika, and the way she fights on the bridge (and Sevika fight 2)
Even with deviances in character design I do definitely get the impression they used some of the LoL animations of the characters are references. How *does* someone fistfight with giant mech gauntlets, etc? Not copying fight scenes, but getting an idea of _how_ a character fights.
Probably since she still suffer from her trauma in arcane of her teens years. The Game, she probably in her 20's when you look back at your teens and see what you thought good but wasn't
I don't know how much they're going to change her in season 2. They probably won't make her like in the game, at least I hope not. She's way different and so much more developped that turning her into this personality just ruins it to me
It’s also important to know that arcane isn’t necessarily canon to LoL and I also believe that in game jinx in in her early 20s and in the show she’s about 16. I also believe that Vi is mid 20s in game and maybe 17 18 in arcane. I’m sort of unsure about her age in show, I’ve only really looked into jinx heavily as of rn. But ya I hope they stick with them long enough so I can see they’re progression in character design.
@@jaew.3974 It’s labeled as such yes, so I corrected that. But in the game Vi doesn’t know jinx is her sister. She also got her (I’m forgetting the word) metal gloves a different way as well. Caitlyn didn’t even want to be a cop until her parents were kidnapped. And a lot of other small plot holes. I should more say that the game vs the show have plot holes or things that have not been addressed. I’m guessing season 2 will maybe explain why Vi doesn’t know jinx is her sister but it’s just stuff like that I mean when I previously said it’s not necessarily canon.
@@arianabutler ahhh okay, yeah I’ve never played the game as I’m not into the types of games that are formatted like LoL, I personally prefer fps games and other things. But I’ve been getting into the Lore and learning more about the stories of the legends (including those who were not seen in Arcane). That’s interesting to know then, I hope that they do address that. Although, it happens a lot when things are taken from games, books, etc and turned into shows/movies. They might’ve just wanted to mold the plot a little more to make it make more sense to what they’re trying to convey in the show, or they may have had to change some things in order for them to be able to fit certain details into the show. On a side note though, them not knowing that they’re sisters in LoL explains the confusion about whether they’re biological siblings or not. I was wondering why it was even a debate after watching arcane but now I kinda know why.
@@jaew.3974 I read somewhere saying they had different mothers but I think it’s a theory 🤷🏾♀️. I also read somewhere that the show was supposed to had lore and depth to the game so they are probably will tweak the game to fit the show. But honestly who knows 🤷🏾♀️ It’s funny cause I don’t play the game but I have been a fan of the storylines and cinematic universe videos for about 4 years. I’m learn right along with you.
Ekko in Arcane is much better his dreadlocks / hair is a massive improvement also the face in general seems better I honestly love VI's design in Arcane its more human / natural the pink hair seems so weird and the mechanical parts of her armour seems weird Vi always uses her natural Brute strength to fight shes never been tech savvy or an engineer.. it doesnt suit the character how she's got googles and armour plating on her outfit in the default one the massive VI letters are annoying to look at too.. im glad they downsized that in Arcane so its like a normal sized natural face tattoo and not this giant hideous tattoo
About the "Mechanical stuff." She's not an engineer in the Game's Lore. She still uses her Brute Strenght. She was given that Exo-Skeleton when she joined the Piltover Guard to work alongside Caitlin. Exo-Skeleton is to protect her and make her even stronger. Her Game's Design makes a lot of sense, if you know her Backstory. Because what we see in the Show is NOT her Backstory in the Game. *because the Show isn't Canon to the Game. It's in a Seperate Universe of its own.
@@TheCursedCat1927 Ah that explains it i never played League so i know little of the characters but comparing the ingame design to the animation ones does seem heavily improved. Now i sort of understand the exo-skeleton/mechanical side to her outfit
I noticed they made ekkos nose and bridge wider in arcane (plus making his hair a natural curly kept in dreads) so he actually looks like a black person instead of just a white person's model painted brown.
Por favor, nunca flameen en lol. Lo único que hacen es hacer sentir mal a alguien , que muchas veces, no lo merece. Ahora estoy acá, llorando por un idiota que me dijo cosas horribles y yo sólo quería divertirme
The lore and arcane story is different. Atlas gauntlets were not actually made by jayce, it was customized by Jayce, when vi joined the enforcers the she got it from the rampaging bot.
She's far from being "a normal person" in the Game. She's way more crazy and insane in the Game. In the Show, you just see how she feels amd what is caused by the Trauma. Not to mention that "Arcane" happens years before the Game...
I can't handle caitlyn's original design. Not sure what her background is so I might be off base, but her classic design looks like a steam-punk-circus lingerie set. Is she supposed to be a steampunk Annie Oakley, or an actual enforcer?
She was originally a Piltover Guard* and mostly a Freelancer with Vi. Her Design changed later because she became a Guard Captain. But that's an Alternate Skin. And yes - the original idea was in fact a "Steam-Punk Doll." *"Enforcers" are only in the Show; they have a different name in the Game's Lore.
Wait wait wait, your telling me, that cop with the robot arms, that hunts down jinx I think IS SISTERS WITH EACH OTHER. Let’s just say I say (ahem) some very interesting things thinking they weren’t sisters they were just enemies
I love both the series and games designs. League of legends is my favorite game and seeing as they made a show I started to watch it right when I heard of it and it was amazing, Also what is the name of the song you use in the video
Do League of Legend is a real game like Skyrim or Fallout with a story and something to do or is just a little cellphone game who consist to collect charater and spend money ? Cuz I only know the the cellphone(tablet) game and I try to found more, on Steam I saw a 2D game with EKKO as hero, but where come from all animation with Jinx, Ekko or Vi ?
LoL is neither of those two, it's just a MOBA. Not a RPG game and not a cellphone game about unlocking stuff and spending money (unless you mean skin shop is online phone game and so every f2p pc games are "cellphone games" to you). It's not on Steam either, you have to download it from Riot's own website And the fakely "In Game" animations the video shows are animated shorts on League of Legends YT channels. Those are however nearer to the characters' basic look ingame than Arcane, for what the comparison is worth
But I kinda remember Vi saying “My parents” instead of “our parents” in one of the episodes… and considered that they might actually not share biological parents…?
@@tiffyliuliu Have you guys even forgotten what Jinx even said about being sisters, to Silco? That she really wanted Vi or herself to go back to the 'babymaker'?
@@xxstar-bluesxx Yeah, I think a lot of people took that mostly as a Joke, rather than her being serious - even tho that line is actually quite important.
What happened in the game isn't all in the film we just need some seasons to full of it (That is my opinion I just saw the film and little parts of the game)
Imo her toned down color scheme works better; the bright pink doesn’t really scream Zaun but her dark top and purple pants totally do. But yeah she’s so iconic that would be a shame mess too much with her character design.
It's because he is kind of a "Punk" in the Game's Lore. He defies his Parents by constantly getting into trouble in Zaun, when he lives in Piltover. In the Show's he's an Orphan, and they needed a Hair Style that would be way easier to animate.
If anyone’s looking for the song name, I believe it’s a slowed down version of the “Revenge” theme from Arcane. th-cam.com/video/eeEYRvb8ZUI/w-d-xo.html
Pretty sure we can all agree Arcane's story and back story for each champion Are better to understand and actually relatable opposed from The Real LoL Lore
Cinematics were used for the Game. Whereas "Arcane" has an Art Style of its own, that isn't used for the Cinematics. Not to mention that those Designs in the Cinematics are literally the same as they are in the Game...
@@Arberin Yeah, I know what it means. But the Designgs in-game and in the Cinematics are the same. And that's what the Video is comparing - the Designs. Not to mention that the Stories are told through the Cinematics, making them more important than the Gameplay itself.

- Vi's and Jinx's Backstories are completely different, as in the Main Universe they were Orphans that were found in a Burning Orphanage (Vi was found by someone, and Jinx was taken away earlier by someone else) and they also didn't know they are Sisters; whereas in "Arcane" they not only always were Sisters, they also grew up together with their Parents (and rest is the Show's Events).
- then you have things, such as Hextech itself. In the Main Universe, it was created by House Ferros, and was in use years before Jayce went into a picture; whereas in the Show, it's Jayce and Viktor who created Hextech and the Hex-Gates.
- in the Main Universe, neither Jayce nor Caitlin's Parent weren't ever on the Council (Jayce was just an Inventor under a patronage of House Ferros), and instead it's a Member of House Ferros that is on the Council; whereas in the Show, Jayce and Caitlin's Mother are on the Council, and House Ferros is never actually mentioned.
The Show itself is its own Universe, and isn't actually Canon to the Main LoL Universe.
It's just based on it.
@@TheCursedCat1927 hella good show tho
my first real experience with lol aside from playing two matches in like 2014 haha
Ekko's been hitting the gym
What cinematic creators for games seem to not understand very often is that movement is the thing that sells it. Extremely high res, high detail character models can never cover up animation that doesn’t do it justice. Arcane looks like a cartoon by comparison, and yet it looks infinitely better because it has a consistent art style with incredible animation.
Everything got much better. I like how Ekko's hair is not spiki but soft and more natural.
Yeah dreadlocks look cool on black people. Plus for them it is easy to keep. Much easier than the haircut we see in game
@@karolinakuc4783 Why u talking as if black people are zoo animals tf
@@waterworks111
He was talking about Hair Styles.
And ironically enough Dreadlocks are actually a Hair Style mostly associated with black people, for numerous reasons.
I think it would be a smart move to make a borderlands/arcane art style story game. I know little to nothing of league but from what I’ve seen it’s an arena type combat game with mindless action. I will likely never play the game for a multitude of reasons. However, as I said I think it would be a smart move to turn the arcane series into a borderlands semi open world steampunk style game. First person or third. Either way the league lore is very interesting and there is much to explore
A game like that does exist. It's called tales from the borderlands, and it is actually really good
@@Stringbean670 Not really open world tho
@@waterworks111 No, but still a really good game. A game doesn't have to be open world to be excellent.
@@Stringbean670 Yes but OP said open world
a League of Legends MMO or just an open-world story game like Elder Scrolls, Borderlands series or Genshin Impact would be hella dope to see
Every character looks so much better in arcane
I forgot this was a League of Legends spin off.. I keep comparing it to Dishonored.... ironic it has the same production name too!
"Arcane" - show's name.
Arkane - the Studio's name.
Kinda.
It feels like something even more impactful has to happen for Jinx to go from how she is in Arcane, to full Harley Quinn like she is in the game.
I'd honestly say that Shimmer having an effect on her Mind for Years would be enough.
Good point, addiction and substance abuse would probably send her over the edge
Those massive gauntlets in arcane I thought were useless because they are heavy and doesn't make you stronger. The original makes much more sense because it is part of her exoskeleton. Other than that everyone's design look much better in arcane.
I think vi got a shimmer boost in the show, also I think the hextech gemstone helps with using the gauntlets, not sure tho.
I'm pretty sure the Arcane gaunts had a weight-null feature bc of the gemstone.
In the show, it was shown thay the gaunts suddenly get heavier when they're too damaged to work
Exactly. They work because of the hextech.
They are basically powered by magic in Arcane.
@@theschnoozler465 weight-null feature? Do you understand the physics behind that? Try throw a weight less rock at me? I bet you it will hurt as bad as a paper ball. In this case your basically punching someone with bigger hands but the same force. This gauntlet are good shields but not punching gloves.
I mean, it IS magic so it's not supposed to make sense XD But if we're goin the scientific route, I bet it'd still hurt if someone swung at you with this: th-cam.com/video/GeyDf4ooPdo/w-d-xo.html
Not how they look in gameplay so does not count. Many games have cinematic scenes but does not mean the game is as good as the cinematic portraits. It's just about time a game company finally put in their money to make their cinematics into a real series. I'm hoping other companies will do the same.
Cinematic Designs are used for their Character Cards/Pics, so this still counts.
@@TheCursedCat1927 Lol nope. It doesn't. Any smart gamer knows this. You do not go by the cinematic to judge how good a game is. You wait for the in-game footage and how much the game allows you to control. It may count to you but not for me. I'm smarter than that and been a gamer since the very first came out.
@@elbandito5411
1. Being a gamer has nothing to do with this video. I've been as well, and somehow I'm not braging about it.
2. The video is about the DESIGNS. Which are literally the same in both the Game and the Cinematics.
@@TheCursedCat1927 again. It is to make you attracted to the game. That's what it's designed to do. I'm done trying to make you see the error in your thinking. School is closed today.
@@elbandito5411
I'm not arguing over what's a point of the Cinematic - and I never did.
From the beginning I was talking about the Video's Comparision.
It compares desings from "Arcane" to those in the Game.
And since the Cinematics have quite literally the exact same Designs, the video's creator used them.
That's what I was talking about.
Literally everyone looks better in Arcane
Dang i didn't play League so i didn't know Ekko had that mawhawk! I don't know why but he looks like a candle😭 I much prefer his arcane hair, it looks really good on him.
I think they look a lot better in Arcane
One thing I think is so cool it that they kind of added like... weight to Vi's gauntlets in Arcane. Like, in Lol, she moves around as if they weigh nothing, but in Arcane, when she wears gauntlets, instead of her usual sharp, accurate, punches, she does these wild haymaker swings that nearly lift her off her feet sometimes. Like, compare the way she fights when she's fighting Sevika, and the way she fights on the bridge (and Sevika fight 2)
Vi, Jinx, and Caitlyn are so attractive
Even with deviances in character design I do definitely get the impression they used some of the LoL animations of the characters are references. How *does* someone fistfight with giant mech gauntlets, etc? Not copying fight scenes, but getting an idea of _how_ a character fights.
Yeah, no one is saying they didn't.
The point here is about their Designs.
Ekko looks like an old man in game, but in the series he looks like a true man
you know what'd be cool? if a trend started where people create their own oc (character) that would fit into Arcane
I've made two ocs myself!
That reminds me of (Y/N) fanfiction
Jinx in the game looks so cheerful than in the arcane. 😭
Probably since she still suffer from her trauma in arcane of her teens years.
The Game, she probably in her 20's when you look back at your teens and see what you thought good but wasn't
@@sa5m225
Yeah, in "Arcane" she's 16-17.
Whereas in the Game, she's around 25-26.
I don't know how much they're going to change her in season 2. They probably won't make her like in the game, at least I hope not. She's way different and so much more developped that turning her into this personality just ruins it to me
So we have a different types of JINX being a psychopath:
Keep in mind that Arcane is technically a prequel
Vi in arcane: *fights against police brutality*
Vi in Lol: POLICE BRUTALITY IS COOL
It’s also important to know that arcane isn’t necessarily canon to LoL and I also believe that in game jinx in in her early 20s and in the show she’s about 16. I also believe that Vi is mid 20s in game and maybe 17 18 in arcane. I’m sort of unsure about her age in show, I’ve only really looked into jinx heavily as of rn.
But ya I hope they stick with them long enough so I can see they’re progression in character design.
Arcane is the origin story, not sure if that counts as canon but it’s just showing how they got to where they are in the game right?
@@jaew.3974 It’s labeled as such yes, so I corrected that. But in the game Vi doesn’t know jinx is her sister. She also got her (I’m forgetting the word) metal gloves a different way as well. Caitlyn didn’t even want to be a cop until her parents were kidnapped. And a lot of other small plot holes.
I should more say that the game vs the show have plot holes or things that have not been addressed. I’m guessing season 2 will maybe explain why Vi doesn’t know jinx is her sister but it’s just stuff like that I mean when I previously said it’s not necessarily canon.
@@arianabutler ahhh okay, yeah I’ve never played the game as I’m not into the types of games that are formatted like LoL, I personally prefer fps games and other things. But I’ve been getting into the Lore and learning more about the stories of the legends (including those who were not seen in Arcane). That’s interesting to know then, I hope that they do address that. Although, it happens a lot when things are taken from games, books, etc and turned into shows/movies. They might’ve just wanted to mold the plot a little more to make it make more sense to what they’re trying to convey in the show, or they may have had to change some things in order for them to be able to fit certain details into the show.
On a side note though, them not knowing that they’re sisters in LoL explains the confusion about whether they’re biological siblings or not. I was wondering why it was even a debate after watching arcane but now I kinda know why.
@@jaew.3974 I read somewhere saying they had different mothers but I think it’s a theory 🤷🏾♀️. I also read somewhere that the show was supposed to had lore and depth to the game so they are probably will tweak the game to fit the show. But honestly who knows 🤷🏾♀️
It’s funny cause I don’t play the game but I have been a fan of the storylines and cinematic universe videos for about 4 years. I’m learn right along with you.
What are you talking about? They literally changed some characters in the show in-game lore to match up with the show.
All of them look better in Arcane tbh
Ekko in Arcane is much better his dreadlocks / hair is a massive improvement also the face in general seems better
I honestly love VI's design in Arcane its more human / natural
the pink hair seems so weird and the mechanical parts of her armour seems weird Vi always uses her natural Brute strength to fight shes never been tech savvy or an engineer..
it doesnt suit the character how she's got googles and armour plating on her outfit in the default one
the massive VI letters are annoying to look at too..
im glad they downsized that in Arcane so its like a normal sized natural face tattoo and not this giant hideous tattoo
About the "Mechanical stuff."
She's not an engineer in the Game's Lore.
She still uses her Brute Strenght.
She was given that Exo-Skeleton when she joined the Piltover Guard to work alongside Caitlin.
Exo-Skeleton is to protect her and make her even stronger.
Her Game's Design makes a lot of sense, if you know her Backstory.
Because what we see in the Show is NOT her Backstory in the Game.
*because the Show isn't Canon to the Game. It's in a Seperate Universe of its own.
@@TheCursedCat1927 Ah that explains it i never played League so i know little of the characters but comparing the ingame design to the animation ones does seem heavily improved. Now i sort of understand the exo-skeleton/mechanical side to her outfit
@@chrissy93x
Yeah, the Exo-Skeleton is simply to make her even stronger with the Gauntlets.
I noticed they made ekkos nose and bridge wider in arcane (plus making his hair a natural curly kept in dreads) so he actually looks like a black person instead of just a white person's model painted brown.
Old Cait looks like an off brand Zatana
Vi's fighting in the show is 110% more vicious. Looks fantastic. Love it.
I just finished watching Arcane in Netflix , I really enjoyed it ,thumbs up on this one.
Por favor, nunca flameen en lol. Lo único que hacen es hacer sentir mal a alguien , que muchas veces, no lo merece. Ahora estoy acá, llorando por un idiota que me dijo cosas horribles y yo sólo quería divertirme
Ekko lowkey got the glow up of the century..
The lore and arcane story is different. Atlas gauntlets were not actually made by jayce, it was customized by Jayce, when vi joined the enforcers the she got it from the rampaging bot.
And classic Vi faun on warriors song are slightly bigger than arcane
It's so strange that Jinx was such a happy and normal person in the games but in the show she was downright crazy...
She's far from being "a normal person" in the Game.
She's way more crazy and insane in the Game.
In the Show, you just see how she feels amd what is caused by the Trauma.
Not to mention that "Arcane" happens years before the Game...
@@TheCursedCat1927 Sorry, this video was my only knowledge of her in the game.
I’m surprised you didn’t add Viktor lol Non-players gonna be shocked
Yeah, I just saw it
Well, it's because Viktor in the Show didn't become the "Mechanical Wizard" he is in the Game.
Wait for that, and then you can compare them.
Honestly, both versions are impressive!
Arcane did a really good job on this one
I think you mean "Animation of league of legends cinematics vs Arcane Animation". Not a single in-game animation in this video.
I can't handle caitlyn's original design. Not sure what her background is so I might be off base, but her classic design looks like a steam-punk-circus lingerie set. Is she supposed to be a steampunk Annie Oakley, or an actual enforcer?
She was originally a Piltover Guard* and mostly a Freelancer with Vi.
Her Design changed later because she became a Guard Captain.
But that's an Alternate Skin.
And yes - the original idea was in fact a "Steam-Punk Doll."
*"Enforcers" are only in the Show; they have a different name in the Game's Lore.
Wait wait wait, your telling me, that cop with the robot arms, that hunts down jinx I think IS SISTERS WITH EACH OTHER. Let’s just say I say (ahem) some very interesting things thinking they weren’t sisters they were just enemies
I love both the series and games designs. League of legends is my favorite game and seeing as they made a show I started to watch it right when I heard of it and it was amazing, Also what is the name of the song you use in the video
NGL, I dig both of Vi's designs.
The designed went up so much, (like how all the women aren’t as sexualized)
Like how I can tell who they are much better based of their design
They just haven’t aged that far I’m pretty sure
Lol ekko looks like some 8yr old Indian kid my man got a well deserved glow up in arcane
I like both, they both have style. 💕
Do League of Legend is a real game like Skyrim or Fallout with a story and something to do or is just a little cellphone game who consist to collect charater and spend money ? Cuz I only know the the cellphone(tablet) game and I try to found more, on Steam I saw a 2D game with EKKO as hero, but where come from all animation with Jinx, Ekko or Vi ?
LoL is neither of those two, it's just a MOBA. Not a RPG game and not a cellphone game about unlocking stuff and spending money (unless you mean skin shop is online phone game and so every f2p pc games are "cellphone games" to you).
It's not on Steam either, you have to download it from Riot's own website
And the fakely "In Game" animations the video shows are animated shorts on League of Legends YT channels. Those are however nearer to the characters' basic look ingame than Arcane, for what the comparison is worth
This is quite beautiful
Love the music, if not mistaken it's the moment when Vander sacrifice himself to protect Vi. Dont know the title
Yeah I think it's that
Are vi and jinx legitimately siblings??
Yes they share the same biological parents
Bro. Watch the episodes. Don't miss anything. They literally have the same mother.
But I kinda remember Vi saying “My parents” instead of “our parents” in one of the episodes… and considered that they might actually not share biological parents…?
@@tiffyliuliu Have you guys even forgotten what Jinx even said about being sisters, to Silco? That she really wanted Vi or herself to go back to the 'babymaker'?
@@xxstar-bluesxx
Yeah, I think a lot of people took that mostly as a Joke, rather than her being serious - even tho that line is actually quite important.
Arcane feels like the lovechild of League of Legends and Dishonored.
Ekko got killmonger vibe
arcane ekko is so fine bru😭
Vi got a really big improvement ngl
Games and Movies and Animated Movies will always be different from each other
0:32 LMAOOO WTH
Notice the shrine-wall behind Ekko in the LoL version...
I didn't see that!
Jinx in the game resembles that lunatic girl from the joker movie
Ok ekko got the glow up of the century 😂
They REALLY outdid themselves on the redesigns
is it me or does Arcane ekko look like ishowspeed in certain angles-
they are both in animation
LoL Ekko gives me the same vibes as that fucking Treefu Tom kids show
What happened in the game isn't all in the film we just need some seasons to full of it
(That is my opinion I just saw the film and little parts of the game)
Omg I love jink so much
yes jink
@@kyzero7189
Ye, jins.
I found Jinx hot but a crazy head 😅 VI is strong and Caityln beautiful Ekko my boy looks badass too 😊
So all the characters are better in arcane expect jinx who looks the same since she was already good
Imo her toned down color scheme works better; the bright pink doesn’t really scream Zaun but her dark top and purple pants totally do. But yeah she’s so iconic that would be a shame mess too much with her character design.
I like the punk hair of Ekko on game
It's because he is kind of a "Punk" in the Game's Lore.
He defies his Parents by constantly getting into trouble in Zaun, when he lives in Piltover.
In the Show's he's an Orphan, and they needed a Hair Style that would be way easier to animate.
If anyone’s looking for the song name, I believe it’s a slowed down version of the “Revenge” theme from Arcane. th-cam.com/video/eeEYRvb8ZUI/w-d-xo.html
Ekko is pretty badass in the game and show
Music: "revenge" ost from Arcane
Ekko in Arcane looks way more handsomer imo.
Pretty sure we can all agree
Arcane's story and back story for each champion
Are better to understand and actually relatable opposed from
The Real LoL Lore
What about Jayce???
Viktor too. Anyone who has never played the game gonna be shocked when they see Viktor in game
@@buinugget6912
Well, Viktor is not at his "Mechanical Wizard" state yet, so...
people: Why you don't like Arcane
Me : Animation 3
story 6
make the math
atleast give it the animation that matches expectations..
Can someone tell me the source of the video of Vi and caitlyn😩😩😩pls
Warriors season 20 Cinematic
So did ezreal give jinx a teleporter.
Jinx look" badass". 🔥🔥🔥
2:17
Dayuuuuum 😮 🤩 😂
Sevika would be such a good champ
The fact they have facial expressions and lines and scars!
They look weather beaten and realistic for battle-hardy women
None of these are ingame. Title should be Animation vs. Old Animation
Cinematics were used for the Game.
Whereas "Arcane" has an Art Style of its own, that isn't used for the Cinematics.
Not to mention that those Designs in the Cinematics are literally the same as they are in the Game...
@@TheCursedCat1927 Ingame means in-game, not game promotional material.
@@Arberin
Yeah, I know what it means.
But the Designgs in-game and in the Cinematics are the same.
And that's what the Video is comparing - the Designs.
Not to mention that the Stories are told through the Cinematics, making them more important than the Gameplay itself.
@@TheCursedCat1927 I'm disagreeing with the literal video title and description, not your personal interpretation of it.
