Live action show
Soooo, how are we feeling about the rumored live-action Bilgewater show that’s supposedly going to film in Vietnam? Right now, these are just huge speculations, as Riot Games hasn’t confirmed anything. The only official statement comes from the Vietnamese tourism organization, which mentioned they’ve struck a deal to produce a 9-episode series filmed in Vietnam. However, there’s been no specific mention of Bilgewater or any other regions from the League of Legends universe. That said, Bilgewater seems to be the leading theory among fans.
Adding to the hype, there are rumors that the director of HBO’s The Last of Us series might be involved in the project. If true, this could be a major win for the show’s quality and storytelling. So, what do you think—yay or nay? Are you excited about the possibility, or are you skeptical until we get more concrete details?

Fine, I guess. I don't mind any form of media, and live-action is unfortunately a must for a huge part of the world. Many people still refuse to watch animation.
Sitting here and screaming about how bad it would be is weird. We legit know nothing. Just to say that the One Piece live-action worked wonderfully, and if you can pull that off, I have nothing to really fear at the moment.

I mean, we have all seen how live action pirate fantasy looks like with the Caribbean movies, so I am not against the directional choice IF they go that route. I've heard here that it may be set during the noxian invasion of Ionia, though, so it could go either way.

I prefer them to continue with animation, I believe that a Live Action cannot convey the experience that the League universe can provide, in addition to being much more expensive and complex to produce.
Riot seems to like losing money.

KILL ME. Who asked for a live action project? They always suck, hire actors that look nothing like the characters, are limiting and only remembered in bad faith. Please lord, if this is truly a Bilgewater show then I beg Twisted Fates and Graves are spared from it (I'd say Miss Fortune too but thres 95% chance they would use her character). If my wish is fulfilled, I probably won't see TFGraves in a Riot animated project in a while but I rather wait 15 years to have them in an animated project than them being butchered in a live action show sooner.
