** Everytime Cheng Yaojin is about to go masochistic, his face suddenly turns into the face of Abe Takakazu from ''Kuso Miso Technique''.

** Jiang Ziya steals his teammates' experience points while doing the [[Film/SpiderMan3 Emo Dance]].

* ArtShift: Often times, the character art style shifts into various other styles found in Japanese manga. From Creator/AkiraToriyama (''Manga/DragonBall'') to Buronson (''Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar'') to Creator/HirohikoAraki (''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure'').

** In Guan Yu's episode, he tries to pull a victory-inducing BigDamnHeroes strike and preludes with [[Film/AvengersEndgame "On your left"]] (in English). [[TheMillstone As usual, he fails.]]

* BitchInSheepsClothing: In her only appearance, Xi Shi appears sweet, friendly, and encouraging to Lu Ban no. 7. But she's the first to yell at him for 'feeding' AKA getting killed by Gao Jianli after Jianli got manipulated to move to Lu Ban no.7's bush [[NeverMyFault by her own skill no less.]] While the game ends in their favor, Xi Shi seems to favor Sun Bin more, and Lu Ban no. 7 sighs that in the winning fight, he's not being ripped off for once.

*** After successfully cornering Marco Polo into a position where he's going to die anyway, Zhang Liang, Mozi and Dong Huang Taiyi stops a bit just to deliver [[Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureGoldenWind the Torture Dance, complete with "Vocal percussion on a whole 'nother level, coming from my mind..."]]

Has nothing to do with ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends''

* ArtShift: Often times, the character art style shifts into various other styles found in Japanese manga. From [[Franchise/DragonBall Akira Toriyama]] to [[Manga/FistOfTheNorthStar Buronson]] to [[Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure Hirohiko Araki]]...

* OutOfGenreExperience: ... Sort of? Since the genre this animation is doing is about MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena, it would've counted when Nakoruru encounters Ukyo and suddenly it's animated like an actual ''VideoGame/SamuraiShodown'' fighting game... up until Nakoruru calls for backup (beyond just Mamahaha), which is not something you find in the fighting game.

** Zhuge Liang once referred to his ultimate and calls it as [[Franchise/StreetFighter "HADOUKEN!"]]

** There are a lot of ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure'' memes thrown into the mix.

-->'''Nakoruru''': "Exactly. You're surrounded by '''me'''."

Unlike most web animations, the series itself shows that the antics happening in the shorts are based on what could have happened in the actual game. So, during the Credit Rolls sequence, it will also show actual gameplay footage to replicate what happened in the shorts.

Tencent approved this unofficial animation that it's sometimes put in the news page of the game's site. Naturally, these are all voiced in the Chinese language, but thankfully, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTn5jKRLszxsihTrkkE_6XA someone on Youtube has given most of them (hard) English sub]], hence where the ''League of Newbies'' title.

** During an episode when Li Bai outwitted Ying Zheng and about to deliver the killing blow, "True Love Ways" by Creator/BuddyHolly plays... but it's the "Just you know why..." part, to give a ShoutOut to ''Advertising/NeverSayNoToPanda''.

* ShoutOut: While there are many ShoutOut to other series, there are a lot of ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure'' memes thrown into the mix.

''League of Newbies'' is the unofficial translation of the web animation series ''王者？别闹！(King? (Then) Don't Make Troubles!)'', a series of comedic shorts based on the game ''VideoGame/HonorOfKings''. It revolves around the antics of the heroes of the Valley of Kings (based on various Chinese figures) as they try to take down their opposing Arc Cores, sometimes in a comedic manner that can be found as you play ''VideoGame/HonorOfKings''.

* BasedOnATrueStory: At the end of each shorts (and before TheStinger), during the credit roll, it shows actual gameplay footage of ''VideoGame/HonorOfKings'' to replicate the events of the short, without the humor parts, to show that this can happen in a real game, and it happened first before being adopted to an episode.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: In her only appearance, Xi Shi appears sweet, friendly and encouraging to Lu Ban no. 7. But she's the first to yell at him for 'feeding' AKA getting killed by Gao Jianli after Jianli got manipulated to move to Lu Ban no.7's bush [[NeverMyFault by her own skill no less.]] While the game ends in their favor, Xi Shi seems to favor Sun Bin more, and Lu Ban no. 7 sighs that in the winning fight, he's not being ripped off for once.
* CombatCommentator: In one of the episodes, Gao Jianli decided not to do anything but to comment on what goes on the battlefield, including the typical "If X happens, then I'll eat my own guitar."[[note]]Especially when Di Renjie is about to die by Baili Shouyue, but instead buys an AttackReflector in the last moment, killing Shouyue instead. Jianli was betting on Renjie to die.[[/note]] Cai Wenji eventually smacks him on the head for costing the game for doing this antic.
* CombatSadomasochist: This animation also contributes to the meme of "Masochistic Cheng Yaojin." Everytime he appears, he's blushing and orgasming at being hit. He often gets himself tied up and whipped by Lao Fu Zi on purpose.
* DistractedByTheSexy: Lu Bu and Diao Chan's OfficialCouple status take form in this: Lu Bu is on the opposing team, Diao Chan flashes and blows a kiss, Lu Bu gets distracted... and feeds Diao Chan's team as a result.

* TheMillstone: Guan Yu's role, because a lot of his skills have a bunch of displacement effects that it could ruin his teammates' day instead. Therefore, everytime he does his things to help, he ends up helping his enemies instead.
* NewYearHasCome: There are annual yearly Chinese New Year episodes, where the heroes instead hang around and celebrate the coming of Chinese New Year.

* ProductPlacement: During one of the Chinese New Year Special, Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi played the Nintendo Switch version of ''VideoGame/ArenaOfValor''.
* ShoutOut: While there are many ShoutOut to other series, there's a lot of ''Franchise/JojosBizarreAdventure'' memes thrown into the mix.
