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?

    It’s also not a tower defense game, it’s a moba. There are towers and some defending of them, but you’re not placing and upgrading towers to stop enemies, you’re controlling one individual character from a large roster. The towers play a pretty minor role.

      To be fair, describing MOBA as a PvP tower defense game is really genius 😅 Because in the end your only goal is to defend your nexus and to kill enemy nexus.
