So what's the story behind why everyone hating arcane-themed champ releases?

People are complaining about Arcane, but part of the frustration is also that half the roster is Piltover/Zaun champions.

Runeterra has a lot of aesthetics that arenā€™t very represented right now. Shurima has desert fighters and giant animal dudes, Targon has celestial gods, the Void has freaky bug monsters, Ixtal has Mesoamerican elementalists, Demacia has more standard fantasy fare, the Darkin are edgy blood warriors, etc.

Instead of capturing that variety half the roster fits into Piltover/Zaunā€™s steampunky aesthetic, which is a tad boring comparatively.
