* NeverTrustATrailer: The trailers present Vander's "don't threaten the guy who pours the drinks" line as being said to the Enforcers, along with the followup DeathGlare from the bar patrons. He actually says it to a pair of shady traders who are trying to stiff another patron out of what they owe him; the same DeathGlare is directed at those two, as well.

In addition, the older sibling is a physically-powerful hand-to-hand fighter, with the younger being weaker and requiring weapons and pragmatism to be an effective fighter.]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: Happens in episode three. [[spoiler:After blowing up the warehouse with her improvised hextech explosive monkey, Powder and the rest of characters in the scene are thrown back by the resulting explosion. The soundtrack that accompanies the entire sequence is a hauntingly beautiful set of strings and a choir singing as the scene unfolds in slow-motion, underscoring Powder's subtle wonder and admiration for the sheer destructive power of what she's unleashed, and {{Foreshadowing}} Jinx's own love of explosions and mayhem.]]

Right off the bat in episode one alone, we get a brutal, realistic street fight involving *kids*. You have blood, swearing, children being traumatized, the explicit depiction of prostitution.

Added DiffLines:

* BloodierAndGorier: Compared to ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'''s styilized cartoon violence, getting hurt is depicted much more realistically here. Characters are visibly injured on-screen, spit blood when hurt, and generally react realistically to being punched, stabbed, knocked and thrown around violently.

Added DiffLines:

* ShiningCity: Piltover ''looks'' like this, but there's definitely an element of BreadAndCircuses with the [[spoiler: Piltover enforcers acting as oppressors to the lower-class of Zaun and having to pacify the upper-class with a fall guy after Jayce's apartment accidentally gets blown up by Vi and her gang]].


Added DiffLines:

* VillainHasAPoint: Silco may resort to some horrifically extreme methods wanting to start war with Piltover, but he does have a point on how Piltover needlessly antagonizes and oppresses the people living underside.


Added DiffLines:

* WretchedHive: In contrast to the shining beacon on the hill that is Piltover, Zaun is depicted as this, with rampant crime, exploitation of the lower-class, prostitution, and oppression of the masses.
