* DropTheHammer: A number of champions wield variants on the classic hammer or mace of all different shapes and sizes including Jayce, Ornn, Poppy, and Mordekaiser. Certain items are also hammers, such as the wooden Phage and metal Caufield's Warhammer.

The original game's popularity spawned a board game titled ''Mechs Vs. Minions'' and a HeavyMetal {{virtual|Celebrity}} band called Music/{{Pentakill}}. And on the occasion of the game's 10th anniversary in 2019, Riot announced a massive slew of new projects based on ''League of Legends'' including a streamlined mobile port of the game called ''Wild Rift'', a mobile port of ''VideoGame/TeamfightTactics'' gameplay mode, the digital CCG ''VideoGame/LegendsOfRuneterra'' which entered open beta in early 2020, the 2D fighting game ''2XKO'', a top-down multiplayer adventure game currently known as "Project F", and even a management sim called ''[=LoL=] Esports Manager.'' Other announcements included the animated series ''WesternAnimation/{{Arcane}}'', as well as their new publishing division, Riot Forge, dedicated to third-party/indie development of ''League''-related side games, and would publish games between 2021 to 2024.

* CoolGuns: Firearms of all kinds exist across many champions, as well as many items, including the Rapidfire Cannon (resembling what looks like [[RevolversAreJustBetter a revolver]] with [[GatlingGood a Gatling gun]] barrel) and The Collector (a fancy HandCannon that instantly executes enemies under a health threshold).
** Senna's Relic Cannon is a massive firearm that shoots blasts of ectoplasmic energy, allowing her to extend her control of the Black Mists. In ''League'', she can use it to both damage enemies and heal allies, and even fire across the entire Summoner's Rift with a single shot.

* ''Series/Players2022'' (2022)

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/league_of_legends_logo_transparent.png]]

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Between Jarvan IV, Garen, Swain, Darius, Swain, Ashe, Tryndamere, and Sejuani, the game has quite a few badass royals and generals.

* NoPronunciationGuide: Several early champions fall into this, causing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6rNjrWalvc no shortage of fan and even Rioter debates]] (Is Veigar "vay-gar", "vee-gar", or "vy-gar"? Is Shaco "shack-oh" or "shake-oh," etc.). [[https://nexus.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/2017/12/naming-new-champions/ Riot has since become more careful when naming champions to avoid this]], with one measure being simply having the champion say their own name to confirm a proper pronunciation.
