LoL would function obviously. But it would have no point in being called "LoL." If there wasn't a legend at all, why would it even be called League of Legends?

There are obviously many games out there that function with characters with absolutely no backstory, but they can get away with it because it's not part of the expectation of the game. When playing games like, Defense of the "Ancients," "Heroes" of the Storm, and League of "Legends," there needs to be an explanation for what's ancient, heroic, and legendary.

If there was a MOBA literally called, Battle Arena, then there is a game that doesn't need to give any shits about its lore.
