Cinematics - mindless fights yet again, no sign of lore yet again.

I thought LoL was a game that had lore not just for laughs, they could at least make an prologue of something better to come. Yes I know the animation is very costly but 5 minutes fight has about the same production costs as 30 minutes lore interactions and dialogues. Riot pls answer seriously, do you make videos like these for the majority of people who find lore boring?

I thought it was just fine - I thought the attempt to sell it as some kind of in depth look at the characters in the behind the scenes was kind of a load of BS, but as far as it simply being a cool combat cinematic I have no problem with that. I happen to like cool combat cinematics.

This is sorta what I was thinking - it was a pretty cool video. Could have been better, could have been much much worse. But them trying to pretend that is was anything other than a neat little thing where some random characters fought is total bull.

They also communicated a lot about the characters without any dialogue. It was very impressive. The reactions they had to situations was exactly how I would expect them to react. The subtle things stood out the most for me.

Agreed, i'd appreciate some more lore into that.

There are no dialogues because LoL is a world wide game and it was meant to be for everyone. I think that they did a pretty good job at catching everyone's personality with just expressions and movements.

Honestly, a cinematic is called a CINEMATIC for a reason. Cinematics have always been supposed to be just eye candy.
