YMMV / Tales of Runeterra

• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: While most of the shorts do their best to establish or flesh out story/worldbuilding elements, "The Vaulted Road" received more criticism due to not doing so to the extent of others, raising far more questions than answers:
  • The cinematic shows Leona and Diana on-screen together for the first time. Is there an epic fight? A debate of Solari vs. Lunari logic? Nope — the cinematic is centrally focused on a never-before-seen star-crossed Targonian couple, with Leona and Diana being completely tertiary to the events (we have no context for why either of them are there), and the video ends right as they sight each other, not exchanging a single word (we finally did get to see them clash in "Call of the Mountain", but the reasons why are still unknown).
  • There's also the Solari-Lunari couple themselves. Given how the Lunari are largely perceived to be extinct, you'd think there would be a greater focus on how such a couple even formed to begin with. Unfortunately, no hints are dropped, and given how the short ends with them ascending to a higher plane of existence, it's unlikely we'll ever know.
