    Ryze and Jayce

    During Jayce's flashback with his mother, they are saved from death by cold by a man. You can see various runes around them just before they are teleported away, similar to Ryze's ultimate in the game. Another Easter Egg in this scene is that Ryze gives Jayce a Tear of the Goddess, a basic item in LoL.

    Runic Wars

    Wander/Warwick

    Warwick's story in LoL was updated to fit the series.

    Some lines of the Champion were changed, and we can clearly notice that he is Vander, Vi and Jinx's mentor. Exclusively for Vi, he has the following line: "Zaun needed you! Who taught you to punch?"

    Interacting with Jinx, you can hear the following line: "You were there, let me forget."

    Blood Moon in Zaun

    Returning from the loot in Piltover, Vi, Powder, Claggor, and Mylo pass by two people, one of them wearing a mask with the symbol of the Blood Moon. The Blood Moon Cult is a group that serves as the opposite of the Lunari, a group that worships the Moon and has the champion Diana as one of its members.

    Shiro and Kuro

    Jinx's weapons are known as Fishbones and Pow-Pow, but in one of her most famous skins called Star Guardian, the weapons are called Shiro and Kuro. In the skin's presentation animation and in its splash art, Jinx has two wings, one white and one black, referencing the names of her weapons (in Japanese, shiro means white, and kuro means black).

    During the series, we can see in Jinx's invention boxes the wings of Shiro and Kuro, which represent the chaotic personality of the character.

    Masks

    In the scene where Ekko watches a conversation using the eye of a mask, we can notice its resemblance to Jhin's mask, the Virtuoso. Interestingly, the eye that Ekko uses in the scene is the same one that Jhin uses.

    The middle mask is the old item known as Liandry's Anguish, and the third, on the right, is very similar to the version of the old Akali, Shadowfire.

    2020 Animation

    Fleeing from a place full of mercenaries, Vi, fighting with one of the enemies, throws a hook just like the one she does in the League of Legends 2020 season animation.

    Get Jinxed

    A symbol that has become Jinx's trademark is her monkey toy. This toy is shown several times throughout the series, but it is not the first time it appears.

    In the 2013 character announcement clip called "Get Jinxed," we can see the champion facing this same giant monkey toy.

    Vi and Viktor's Weapons

    During Act 2, Jayce and Viktor have two Hextech inventions, the gauntlets, and the Hexgrip. In one of Viktor's abilities in League of Legends, he uses the Hexgrip, and it can also be seen in his splash art.

    Classic Look

    While inspecting Viktor and Jayce's inventions, Heimerdinger wears his classic protective goggles. Unlike the reddish version he uses in the game, in Arcane, he appears wearing a damaged version of his goggles.

    In Act 2, we can see both weapons in action. Zap! is her pistol, which in the game causes slow and damage to enemies. At the end of the sixth episode, we see Vi calling Jinx "Pow-Pow," which ends up becoming the name of her machine gun.

    "Never one without the other"

    Looking for information about Silco, Vi and Caitlyn pass through a brothel. In a certain scene, it is possible to see a couple wearing Kindred masks in this place, an entity that represents death. Represented by a lamb and a wolf, the mask in evidence is the wolf's, while the woman in its lap is wearing the lamb's mask.
