Serious discussion about LoL world theme.

One thing that real bugs my mind, and I'm sorry but gotta use Overwatch to campare things. Both are PEGI-13 games. Where Overwatch is set in a futuristic real world, LoL is in a completly different place. Both have their wars and problems. But in one thing they differ really hard. Overwatch is cartoonish-like, almost like Disney or Pixar where LoL is really dark and gritty. Obviously, Overwatch demographic is quite younger than LoL's since it's also a more casual game. I've seen a lot of little kids playing Ovewatch lately. But one thing that still bugs. In Ovewatch McCree has a cigar and characters like Hanzo, Genji and Tracer can swear while LoL, set in a grittier world with psychopaths that like to carve out people's faces and make masks out of them and a dark dimension with terrors beyond human imagination, Graves can't have a cigar and people are salty that Xayah swears., even tough LoL players are more mature (I seriously want to believe this. I know some people are quite stupid here.). Why is this thing EVEN when in LoL's lore stories ("Burning Tides",etc) Graves actually does smoke and and they swear.

This seems like a stupid rant but I had to express myself.

P.S: If someone starts with the "One is free. Other is paid." please explain me why would that affect things.

EDIT: Yeah I remember the reason. A chinese company owns Rito. Bump.

Is this thread a disguised thread about "why graves can't have a cigar"?

Sooooo technically this whole post is about Graves can't have a cigar ? LoL world theme to me is like when a steam-punk guy had a nasty f**k with a high fantasy girl, and then their child has sex with a dark-fantasy goth chick, yeahhhh imagine that

Actually if I remember correctly they said once that China isn't even the problem when it comes to tabacco.

I think it were russia and turkey(among others) who were the ones with the strict tobacco laws. And since LoL is played in so many countries they have to play by the rules of every country.
