League of legends does have a fairly large amount of lore that is released for all the characters, although none of it (besides the characters voice lines maybe) is present in the game. I think the way it works lore wise is that the actual game you play isn’t cannon (think smash bros).
Arcane was centred on the lore of Jinx and Vi although it made some large (and definitely good) revisions to it.
The story is basically the same and pretty much everything but the specific plot of Arcane came from it. League's story is one part everyone agrees is good to the point that when they ended up making the universe's equivalent to rise of the Lich King discount infinity war the entire community revolted. Arcane came out directly after that mess. Keep in mind that the main game itself is literally the standard of MOBAs so none of this is really "in game" aside from events. There's a bunch of side games/comics/ ect that is better able to show of the universe.
I think it does and it maybe sort of does have to do with the game? Never played but I do remember reading something once that when LOL was originally released they had some basic lore and backstory but it was kind of vestigial, and then when it blew up and they started trying to cross market they retconned and rebooted their lore entirely to be something more interesting?

its a fairly generic fantasy setting with a handful of standout differences. so any sort of fantasy setting based story will work
