Silco looking up to the “hate us” part gives me chills

This version of the song is incredible.

You can’t willingly skip this intro on Netflix

Why is the intro version so much better than the actual version???

Honestly, I hope they release a full version of this more orchestral version of the song. The original is pretty good, but this one sounds more dynamic and epic.

You know a series is good when there is character development in the FUCKING INTRO. Viktor runs and doesn't have to use his cane anymore. Jace takes up arms and Vi and Jinx are enemies by the end of the video, not the sisters we see as one statue at the start. Also, Silco is the first statue to move, and after that the poses of the other characters are more dynamic, hinting at his villainous influence on their actions.

Piltover can't trust Zaun, Zaun can't trust Piltover, and I can't trust people who skip this opening.

Never played LoL in my entire life but absolutely loving the show so far. The atmosphere in the show and this opening gives me Dishonored vibe.

Episode 3 hit DIFFERENT

I love how Vander's holding them preciously in his hands, he's trying to protect them as best he can...bit Silco still looms in his past...

idk why the other version even exists tbh lol this version of the song is INCREDIBLE

Can we appreciate how even the TITLE SEQUENCE is suitably epic and dramatic? Elastic have also done title sequences for Game of Thrones, Daredevil, Westworld, True Detective, so it's no wonder this is quality

the shot of Ekko with the “Oh, the misery!” line will never not get me hyped

Love the moment where Vander holds and protects VI and Powder in his hands much bigger and then it zooms out and Silco's eye glows up and is again much bigger than Vander

0:52 is absolutely breathtaking. The small shot of the sister's fight is so chilling, Jinx with her gun and Vi's mechanic hands, it makes new fans wonder how they got to that point, considering how they treated each other in Act 1.

This is probably the only intro in Netflix that I will never get tired of seeing!

0:31 this scene gives me chills and the drop after is amazing

0:27 best part in my opinion whole opening gave me chills

Netflix: Skip the intro? Me: No, I don't think I will.

As much as I hate the game, I absolutely love this series and hope they continue it/make others for a long time. The characters from the game are dope, and the lore is even better.

0:40 is just perfect

Love the fact that Viktor is one of the most prominent characters shown in the intro, especially the shot of his mechanical leg braces with him not holding his walking stick anymore (Spoilers on read more) Forshadowing his sinister turn.

You know they've nailed an introduction when you're left wanting to see and hear more of it, 80 seconds of this just isn't enough. Couldn't bring myself to skip a single second of it! Absolutely cracking stuff. This rendition of the song just makes it extra spicy, damn. Arcane really just knocked it out the park. Sometimes life is good. Feels good man :)

I love how each character represented in their statue forms man: Vi and Powder are geometrically cut as head busts as if they are just a test cuts and the final sculptures will be different. Jayce's initial appearance is almost final but needs smoothing out, highlighting his potential, then getting refined in the end. Viktor's statue carved out slowly in steps because he's a self made man in the every sense of the word. Caitlin's image, while stellar, it's surroundings hint her upbringings were very carefully planned since its earlier stages, a part of being a nobility perhaps. Heimer's shape's quite defined as he's been around for a while, but his pose is one of thinking/observing in concern, only to be followed by the shine on his head, being the same light coming from the chancellor's window, perhaps a character clash (or it's Heimer's resentment for using magic while she's willing to do so) Chancellor is also behind the light, on a table nonetheless, first time the sculptures aren't used as abstract décor but as in the place a human being. Perhaps a clue on her ambition? Even her statue wants things a statue can't have. The song also suggest being the greatest don't mean slack, so... perhaps Piltover (and ppl running it) aren't as great as we thought? I'd expect a villain if not a sinister motive somewhere. Vi and Powder are gently shielded by Vander's hands with great care, a great contrast to his scary rugged outer appearance, though this is only limited to what he's wearing, his bodily features are cleanly made, with even chisel marks still visible in his palms, their consistency shows each strike was deliberate and careful, say from years of punching and fighting for the righteous reasons. ofc there're some cheesy remarks such as Vi& Powder being lit up there, meaning those kids are this guy's beacon, seeing them makes him take the right calls. The guy ominously standing behind and consuming Vander& kids in the process, the guy got beef with them! Himself/His eye can't be natural as it's actually glowing like hot coals, perhaps a scar? dunno everyone around Piltover&Zaun has some sort of augment. New character, alethic, and with a mask probably a troublemaker, color's green so someone from Zaun, I wanna guess Ekko since Benzo sold Ionian masks like one this folk could be wearing? Caitlin and police brutality, the excessive force shatters the gun muzzle. Booo! Probably tied to the new guy to arrest them. Run Forres- I mean Run Viktor Run! Could this be a hint of his evolution idea as he's getting liberated from his leg braces, I mean the "shot" of Caitlyn was earlier so perhaps he's on the run now? If that's the case I'd say he's running away from Jayce 'cuz Jayce is an arrogant c*nt who's also happened to be tied deeply with Viktor. Jayce "hammering in" the fact that he lived up to his potential and became an arrogant c*nt swinging around highly dangerous weapons, my god why he's so mad lookin while firing up that thing, pls don't hurt my poor boi Viktor he just got his legs. Last 3 shots is the prelude of the sibling fight with the highest body count in Piltover&Zaun

Didn’t expect Hermerdinger but when I saw him I was like “ OMGGGG ITS HERMERDINGER SO CUTE!!! “ 🤣❤️🥳

NEVER skipping.

I love the part where Mel is standing there with her hands on the table. And when silco is looking up on the “hate us” part. And the last part with jinx and Vi is just OMG

This is by far probably the best intro to a series I've ever seen, and you can't help but watch it over and over again. it's also one of the few intros I don't skip when watching a show, it's just that good and you can't even argue about it. They really did an amazing job❤

the show is so good so far.

I need this version of the song ASAP, this drop is so good, I need the full song EPIC ORCHESTRA version. Edit : thank you for the likes and the comments everyone, ALSO if you are new and you are searching for the EPIC ORCHESTRA VERSION. Well, there are some links down there 👇. But your gonna have to search through the drama eWe

This show had absolutely NO business being as absolutely amazing as it is.

Skipping this opening in Netflix is like throwing diamonds in lava at Minecraft.

Riot practically owns Imagine Dragons at this point

This intro itself was amazing, especially the song!

I know y'all enjoy the drop in this version but I'm here for the first part, when the lyrics start, with a solid baseline behind and an intense violin keeping it tense. I also like how it transitions from the emotionally charged start with Vi and Powder back to back as children.

I binged watched the full season within a few days and not once I skipped this intro.

League of legends has so many characters that it can make series longer than The Walking Dead

"I never would have given you to them, not for anything. Don't cry, you're perfect" -Silco

When I heard this intro I knew it was going to be a fire show and holy shit was I mislead and instead it was a fucking masterpiece brilliant with the story and character development. 10000000/10

For a moment I forgot that this was just the intro and thought an episode was gonna start after this lmao

The "Riot Games Presents" at the beginning gives me chills. It's crazy the amount of production that went into this from a game development company.

So happy to see a current animated series get an intro with an actual song and not just instrumentals

one of THE BEST openings ive ever listened to. I swear it gives me goose bumps every damn time

You know a show/movie is good when a goat singer or rapper is in the tracks

Daredevil vibes from this intro Minus the blood. The remix tho i need it

This has literally made me want to learn 3D animation just to make something like this

This song is perfect, let me show why SPOILERS 0:12 he got cast into his greatness 0:16 Talks about mind because he's the smartest on the show 0:21 "I'm searching to be whole" went on a journey with Vi to discover herself 0:23 "my back is to the world" he got cast out of the council 0:27 literally her whole character + trama with mom 0:31 quick cut to victor because he told Vi and Powder they had potential 0:34 "they hate us (main villain) 0:39 fireflies had to go through so much living in the underground and with all the death 0:42 everyone hated them because they got in the way of both of the main groups 0:46 spare the simpathy (Catherine felt bad for her) 0:50 felt like the world was against him 0:54 "My enemy" while showing the rivalry 1:00 look out for the title

This is one of those intros that you never skip, just like the gravity falls intro. Edit: this is definitely one of my favorite shows ever

I figured it out, this version has an ENTIRE ORCHESTRA in it if you listen closely, and ALL OF IT fades in and out with the song rhythm which makes the already catchy sequence that much more impactful. the timed animations on top of that just drives the point home

0:52 JINXES FACE IM CRYING

you know a series is great when you have to come to KZfaq for the intro

0:35 this part is so AMAZING

0:33 best part

Binged the show today and every time I never skipped the intro

I like how they use the marble statues imagery to give the feeling of a greek tragedy

0:35 always gave me the chills

I love how the plot of the whole show is envisioned in those statues. I love it!

Every episode you watch you understand the intro more

Did you guys notice that Vi and Powder is more seperated everytime theyre on screen until they became enemies?

0:00 the statue and the effect is so cool, i keep rewind it again and again

This intro and Daredevil Intro, I can't Skip, Both are just so amazing in their intro explaining everything in It

I don't think I've ever been more obssesed with an intro than this one- everything's just so perfectly done, I literally never skip it

THIS.SHOW. Best I've seen in years.

the fact that the intro of the show is this good is incredible

Just finished this show. What I dig about this intro is that the lyrics are applicable to at least half the major characters in the show.

I love the intro, It's beautifully made and I love how they are able to represent each character is such a short amount of time. Honestly, one of my fave series.

Did anyone notice Silco's scoff right after the pause after the line but once you turn they hate us - at 0:37 just when Silco is revealed behind Vander. Amazing detailing! ❤️❤️

The only opening that you *can't* skip...

The opening reminds me of the Netflix Daredevil's opening sequence.

Currently watching this over and over because it’s so good LMAO I don’t play LOL but this show is currently my favourite

These lyrics describe what the person who’s shown goal and personality are. Jayce and Viktor let their minds race around in science and magic, Heimerdinger turns his back to the people and ignores them, and Mel wants to have the greatest nation. They really did good with this song

I love how this intro pieces together all of season one, but you only start to notice it once you get further into the season, genius

Hands down the best opening I've ever seen. Kudos to the creators for this phenomenal piece of art.

The only reason why i skipped this intro while watching arcane is because i couldn't wait to see the rest of the show

This intro is actually so beautifully made its brought me to tears ive never seen something this amazing in animation

I love this series, the artists behind it deserve recognition--what awesome work! I don't skip this intro when I have the opportunity to watch it. I highly suggest this to anyone looking for a decent show to get into.

I never once skipped this intro. sometimes I play the one on loop lol.

And this, ladies and gentlemen.. Is just the beginning.

damn, viktor's leg cast getting ripped of is a great way to foreshadow what's gonna happen to him

The orchestra is so much better for the lyrics

I hope they release a video of this full song onto spotify and stuff, LIKE PLEASE MAN. The original is fricken fire, yeah, but this one when after the "but once you turn, they hate us" part, is like, so fucking good. PLEASE

I was watching this with my dad and gave him the look when he skipped the intro. It’s literally the best intro to exist, the song and the visuals are just… hoo wow.

The music is perfection, but the statues just really add icing to the already perfect intro. They really define the major characters sooo well. I love all the statues but I adore the first one the most, just… Vi being ever so determined and focused, and Powder with looking so curious or… idk, as she looks like she’s visibly leaning her head against the back of Vi’s head. It’s so powerful to me and I remember after seeing them the first time and then the statue it just… encapsulates them so well to me in just a statue

Co worker got me into this show. I knew nothing about League. By the end I was stunned. I couldn't believe how good every single episode was.

I love how when first watching the show the intro is just cool, but now that I finished the season and now know who the characters are it’s so much cooler!

I love the way the stone and statues/frescoes begin to move like a legend is coming back to life

This is the best intro to any show, up there with stranger things and the simpsons. You can tell how much effort and style went into these opening credits. Absolutely can never skip this.

The thing that makes this version of the song superior are literally the visuals itself. When every character is shown as sculptures, it's very much like a legendary story being told.

Admit it, you have replayed this multiple times

This intro will never get old.

Whoa, the champions from League of legends really look like legends.

I’ve only just finished arcane rn, but honestly I’m impressed. Not only was the story line great but the characters themselves were honestly extraordinary and honestly I don’t think I’ll ever find a show like this but in the meantime I’ll be hoping they make a season 2! But seriously this show was something else and I mean that in a good way! Man if only I had found out about this show sooner..but seriously I’m so dam amazed and feel blessed to have even found this show 😭🙌🏽

After listening to the full song on repeat via Spotify, hearing this version for the first time gave me *chills…*

I wish there was a full version of this one it’s absolutely🔥🔥

Skipped the intro when I was on episode 4, regretted it ever since. That’s a mistake I can never take back and it will forever haunt me

I remember watching the first episode, and getting massive chills when silco comes out of the fog

One of if not the best Intro's of all time

Honestly I have never played league of legends ever but this show is possibly one of the best animated series in 2021 and hopefully in the future I had to get in a state of mind before watching it and honestly this is one of the few show intros I just couldn’t skip.

You know you've done very well as a Company if you are able to make multiple adaptations of a game and its and instant hit. League of Legends - Successful. LoL eSports - Successful. Teamfight Tactics - Successful. Valorant - Successful. Arcane - Successful. Riot Games Music (League of Legends/eSports/Valorant/Arcane) - Successful. Really Proud of the leaps and bounds they have made over the last 12 years and esspecially the last 3.

Silco looking up gives off the essence that honestly makes me, i got a lot of chills
