Animation vs. League of Legends is the third installment of Animation vs. series, released on December 20th, 2018.
Initially pitched as a joke in the ending of Animation vs. Minecraft, Alan eventually chose to go through with the concept with help from friends who are familiar with the game.
Synopsis[]
Stick figures on a desktop screen become champions, fight jungle monsters, the Dragon, and ... the purple stick figure?[1]
Plot[]
The Second Coming and the Fighting Stick Figures are watching Alan play a game of League of Legends, which Alan won. However, the stick figures beg Alan for another game, but Alan leaves instead. The stick figures begin to explore the victory screen. Soon, they discover the profile photos and put them on as masks. They pretend to fight each other, but Red gets bored and clicks play again, which causes them to be taken into the game, where they get transformed into the champions in the profile pictures (Blue into Ashe, Yellow into Lux, Red into Lee Sin, Green into Ryze, and The Second Coming into Master Yi). They fight off many creatures and destroy several enemy turrets, but the enemy was Purple, which they battled (Purple had clones, as Lissandra, Brand, Varus, Udyr, and Nasus)
Finally, The Second Coming struck one which flashed, and his sword went through. He climbed up into the League of Legends folder and he found the real purple hacking the game, and realized the clones were undefeatable. The Second Coming and Purple fought and slowly the clones (which all had files to stablilize them) were destroyed. Purple eats the contents of a folder named 'champion data' and becomes overpowered. He then summons a humongous monster, called "the Baron Nashor" and destroys his enemy turrets in one strike and nearly destroyed the Nexus and won the game, but The Second Coming heavily damaged Purple's nexus too. The monster Purple was riding turned and went for The Second Coming even though Purple told it not to. Green then warped along with the others and managed to launch their ultimate attacks to damage Baron Nashor and hinder it, just long enough for The Second Coming to destroy Purple's Nexus and win the game.
After their victory, the Stick Gang celebrate, tossing The Second Coming into the air like a cheerleader, hugging, and high-fiving. That is, until Yellow notices Purple sulking in the corner, mourning his defeat. After a moment, The Second Coming approaches Purple, who is taken aback and possibly fearing what the Gang will do to him. But The Second Coming offers him his hand, and the two shake hands and hug. He offers Purple his spot with the Fighting Stick Figures, who greet him and welcome him to the group. The Second Coming gives Red the signal and Red starts up another game, but this time, The Second Coming decided to make clones (as Draven, Talon, Teemo, Diana, Leona) for the Fighting Stick Figures and Purple to fight. The Second Coming's clones all draw their weapons, ready to rumble, and the Fighting Stick Figures charge into battle, except for Green, who pauses and urges Purple to join them before following his friends. After a moment, Purple raises his sword high above his head and charges into battle as well.

Trivia[]
- This is one of Zaix's last animations before his death on January 9th, 2019, with his last AVM Shorts episode being "The End", due to difficulties transplanting his lungs.[2] In the credits for the full Season 1 release of AVM Shorts, it says "(RIP)" next to his name.[3]
- AngelXMikey is another animator who also passed away in early 2019 due to cystic fibrosis. Both animators were seen in their grave on an animation, where all of the Hyun's Dojo stick figures, including Alan Becker's stick figures, pay respect to them both.[4]
- This is the first episode outside of Animation vs. Minecraft or Animation vs. Minecraft Shorts to directly mention the events of The Stick Gang's adventures in Minecraft, appearing in a flashback.
- Minecraft would not appear again outside of the Animation vs. Minecraft series or Actual Shorts until IS GREEN OKAY!? - Influencer Arc Ep. 2, six years later.
- When the Stick Gang is playing on the victory screen, some of the names of the animators who worked on this episode are seen playing with and against Alan's team. Some others are in their own games.
- Alan's team was made up of Alan himself, Hyun, oxob3000, miccool and terkoiz.
- Alan's opponents were ActiveFrame, soub, SorryH, Egor70, and Kyokaz.
- Some other names listed are Shuriken525, Zaix, Awez, JasonTheBoring, EntityUnknown, and TheChosenOnes. The latter of this list might be a reference to The Chosen One.
- At timestamp 7:48, when Red tries to attack one of Purple's Clones, the text on their head appeared that says, "I DIDN'T WATCH SPIDERMAN YET". The Spider-Man film in question refers to Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse, which had released only six days prior.
The Chosen One being mentioned.

Errors[]
- When the characters possess the stick gang, none of the Fighting Stick Figures have any feet, and their legs are all too short.
- Purple's fifth clone disappears for one frame.
- When the Stick Gang cheers The Second Coming for his victory, after everyone puts him down, everyone appears to be inconsistent in height.
Purple's fifth clone disappears for one frame.
