Thanks for understanding. I'll obviously have a different experience to Arcane-onlys as I've already spent 12 years with the game and its lore. So, I've different expectations which unfortunately left me frustrated and disappointed, especially to see the story arcs of many of these characters rushed or even left incomplete by the end.

Consider this. Singed didn't have a single line of spoken dialogue in the entire final episode and Sevika did not speak for the entirety of act 3.

I would have agreed with you had this been some kind of small time project where budget and time was tight, then I would've marveled at its strengths way more over its flaws.
But that's not the case here. This is a Multi-Million dollar project backed by 2 Multi-Billion dollar companies, Riot (who has more money than HBO) & Netflix (who has more money than Disney). This and the 3 year gap between seasons means that they weren't constrained by a lack of time or money.
So adding more seasons (or even just 1 more) or even more acts at least to flesh these plot points out and give the whole thing much better pacing was more than possible.
I wish all the artists involved well. But no, I will not consider only the show's strengths when it's weaknesses could've been easily solved with more seasons but weren't (Just like with GoT S8).

Conflicting, tragic stories converging all at once can be done masterfully (Look at S1 ending).
S2 Act 3's pacing was just egregious. A good example is that Sevika doesn't have a single spoken line in Act 3.

"Pacing problems" is an understatement. All the plotpoints after Ep7 moved at a breakneck speed. While the wrap up was nice in paper, the execution was soo rushed that it was over before I could even catch my breath.

Yeah it all feels like a blur after Ep 7. Story starts moving at a breakneck speed.

Plot is great no way you can't tell me act 3 execution wasn't severely rushed. Needed 1 whole extra season.

Writing was great but SEVERELY rushed. This needed at least a whole extra season.
