LoL's lore is pretty complicated, definitely more than what you'd expect from a MOBA.
I'm copying this lore dump from a comment I made to another reaction 'cause I don't want to write it all again. Enjoy!
So, the winter land is called The Freljord and the woman is Sejuani riding her boar called Bristle. Behind her are warriors of The Winter's claw, a traditionalist, warlike tribe that she leads and one of the three dominant tribes of The Freljord alongside the more peaceful Avarosans led by Ashe and the mysterious Frostguard led by The Ice-Witch Lissandra. The twin axe guy is Olaf, a warrior who is fated to die peacefully on a bed which is a huge disgrace for his people which is why desperately seeks battle so that he can prove the prophecy wrong and die gloriously in battle yet never seems able to accomplish this. They were fighting against The Ursine, a savage people of spirit shamans and shapeshifters who worship The Volibear, also called Valhir and The Thousand-Pierced Beast who is The Freljordian demigod of thunder and lighting and who hates civilization with a burning passion, believing that it has made mortals weak. The goat blacksmith is Ornn The Forgelord, The Freljordian demigod of fire and the forge and Volibear's brother.
The next place is Mount Targon and the spear guy is Pantheon or Atreus who is a mortal with an unbreakable will, balls of steel and an inexhaustible source of badassery. He was never the strongest warrior or the fastest or the smartest but he never gave up. Whenever he was beaten to the ground he always rose back on his feet. He eventually ascended to the peak of Mount Targon in search of power and was approached by The Aspect of War. The Aspects are basically gods who represent different concepts who need mortal hosts to exist in the mortal world called Runeterra. While Atreus had an iron will he wasn't a legendary warrior and so while The Aspect did take him as a host, it also silenced his mind and took over his body completely which is something Aspects don't usually do. While Atreus was conscious he couldn't control his body and was forced to watch horrible things that The Aspect of War did and he grew to hate gods, believing them to be oppressors to whom no mortal should ever be forced to submit to. Eventually, The Aspect of War was killed by The Darkin Aatrox. However, Atreus survived due to him literally refusing to die and the power of his sheer will powered him, allowing him to retain the powers of Pantheon while still remaining a mortal. Now, Pantheon is determined to defy fate and the divine. The warriors he beat are of The Solari, Targonians who worship the sun even harder than the rest of The Targonians and who hate The Lunari who worship the moon instead. The woman he fought was Leona, the chosen of The Aspect of The Sun. Now, I think those blasts that came from the sky was Aurelion Sol attacking, a celestial dragon who made every star in the universe and who was imprisoned on Runeterra by The Targonians with a magic crown so that he could be used as a weapon against The Void but I'm not certain about that.
And lastly the desert area is called Shurima. The two women were Taliyah, an earthbending nomad and Kai'Sa who was trapped in The Void as a little girl and who survived due to bonding with a venom-esque Void Creature. The creatures that attacked them were Xer'Sai, ambush predators from The Void with the largest one being their queen called Rek'Sai.
Lol do have a massive storyline though, just not a story mode in the game. Hopefully the developing mmorpg will do, but we do have the first season of Arcane for now.
This is a surprise but a welcome one
league is love league is life
If I got my lore right Ornn the blacksmith hasn't forged a weapon in a looong time.
He's creating a sword.
It's basically a declaration of war.
Remember that this is simply a video to hype people into playing League of Legends here. It worked for me, I'm at work and I'm installing it again once I'm out of here in an hour. It's been a few years even though I've continued to follow the animations of RIOT and some of the e-sports scene.
And yea, there is a lot of lore but because of having tons of characters it's basically a case of grouping them in different "biomes" in a sense with the occasional action impacting characters of a biome next door so to speak. Especially the boar rider, axe thrower and bear have some backstory already. That area has a lot of factions fighting over control there and you can easily compare it with a Europe 1914 situation. Leaders of opposing factions being family, grudges, etc. There are videos where they get involved and attack another faction which is because of a war that happened a long time ago resulting in a grudge, etc. etc. the entire thing has history.
They're all allied and such to different factions, different power levels, from a common man or technician to Gods, different origins. Many of them tragic.
They're creating an MMORPG which will basically allow them to expand the story further without paying whatever they paid for this to get a 3 minute video.
A lot of animations they do contain traces of stories and connections between different characters. There are sometimes a set of 2-3 videos that tell a little story here and there among them.
And there is of course Arcane which is basically an origin story for different characters + some visual revamping here and there, mainly making them less models and more realistic. I believe that will be their starting point at least for a lot of new lore.
Next : LOL – Awaken
If you're diving into LoL cinematics prepare to make another massive playlist.
league lore is worth a couple shots
It has really deep lore. It's a moba, card game, rpg, music game, arpg (coming), fighting game (coming), comics, short stories, TV show, mmo (coming). League is huge.

Actually, yes. He did shoot himself into space, as weird as it sounds. Pantheon is the previous God of War in this universe. He was likely going up to space to confront Aurelion Sol (a giant dragon that creates stars) because Aurelion is probably the one who knocked Pantheon off the mountain with that meteor.
this guy is the indian Pantheon
