      Also their hire credentials are apparently insane,
      Skill is important but if they don’t see the passion they want, they either motivate you or they don’t hire you at all
      When imagine dragons made enemy for arcane, they where first shown bits of the art, story arc, story premise and character designs, and that made them fired up to work on it and put themselves into their craft

    Typically the music videos they make are either to introduce a new skin line (K/DA and Pentakill) or to pump the players up for worlds (Rise, Phoenix, Warriors, etc), so that's probably why a lot of them sound similar: they serve a specific purpose. They do make animated shorts that dive into the lore of the champions that are just as well animated, so Jonas could check those out of he's interested.

    When you play League, there's so much in these songs. First of all, because they are characters you can play in League, so there are links to their lore and their ingame abilities in the lyrics and clips. For the Worlds musics, there are also links to professional players, events that have happened in previous competitions, their favourite champions with whom they have marked the competitive scene. Riot Games' songs/videos are cool... but when you're a gamer they're even more enjoyable !

    Sometimes they're also related to the pro players of the game and their accomplishments or mistakes. Like when you see the guys being haunted by a character, it's because this character cost them a title or they made a misplay while playing it in a very important match in the past.

Just an interesting fact: arcane was so big that in China they had a whole theme song for it. It's called gu yong zhe by Eason Chen, and it's also absolutely incredible! Not sure if Joel will ever see this comment, but if he does I hope he can react to the song because it's also an extremely powerful and fantastic one.

    There are champion specific songs that feel like the character (ex. Amumu's song and Jinx's song). Then there are songs that are seasonal aka the championship songs and cinematics. There are also bands/ groups in league of legends. KPOP, Metal, Hip-hop etc. Some songs are champion/character skin specific like the star guardian songs. It is interesting how they can make music and have it relate to so many different things. They have championship hype songs to sad tales and they all pretty much make sense.

    The songs from KD/A and Pentakill are a in game pop group (KD/A) and a heavy metal band (Pentakill). The lore behind the groups are really fun and last year they came with an amazing new album for pentakill imo. They also did an online concert kinda thing, was really well thought of.

      @@drowsy_predator agreed:
      A) The song is way too long (clocking in at 8 minutes I think), making it really unfit for just a short look into it
      B) The song really shines in contrast to the rest of the album as a piece of orchestral metal. On its own it's actually not that great (unless you're familiar with the League lore)
      C) The song REALLY shines when you try and map it onto the story of the Ruination, with the climax of the song coming in right before it ends. The climax itself doesn't hit even remotely as hard without the buildup though, because the song itself tells a story.
      D) Fun easter egg for anyone who isn't familiar with Riot too much and maybe reading this: Some of these songs feature the "theme" songs of certain characters from the game as Leitmotifs or something similar. The Blade of the Ruined King song is actually featured in the theme song of the Ruined King character as they both straight up just use the exact same climax to tell the exact same story. Goosebumps all over when it hits (for me, obviously your mileage may vary).

    The missing part into you going of analyzing the songs themselves, is that these songs are indeed like a wedding cake, layers upon layer of a lot more then just the song, its about the characters they represent, the players in them, the story around the game crossed with reality, its like taking everything and mixing it up into a very well or pretty good animation with a pretty good or very good song. Riot hits money with these, cause it invokes a lot of feelings for anyone who follows the game, the competitive scene, that has hundreds of hours played with some of these characters.
