many adult antagonists in the show are willing to physically fight and even kill young children. it’s also mentioned that a young boy was left overnight with a foot stuck in a gutter after he fled police- the cops saw it and decided to leave him there with no attempt to help. children are manipulated. the character mentioned in the other comment is not intentionally abandoned, at least long term.

Depends on how brutal you can handle.
A girl is killed to 'prove a point'.
There are various scenes of girls and women fighting to the point of injury. Not for a character's enjoyment, but could be for the audience.
There is also a scene in a colosseum-like place there a women is beat up several times.

In episode 1 they introduce the cat, then off it at the very last scene. TLDR of the last scene, Kid that started the street fight snitches on Vi and the gang. Head bad guy says plans have moved up and has Henchman 1 show him a potion that gives creatures super strength and demonizes them. Then they chuck the cat in with a rat that got fed the potion. Cat dies. If you're sensitive, I'd just read this summary and then skip the entire last scene.

The scenes in question are often shot in a chaotic way to stress the tense situation.

Description of the scene, spoilers ahead: He needs to take a medication applied via syringe that she is shown to have helped him with before. Believing he has lied to her, she pokes him twice in the face with it, visibly causing pain. The scene only lasts a minute and the torture aspect is relatively mild, but it could still upset some viewers.

In the background of the cave in e6. S2e1 Viktor is submerged in slime, which has holed patterns along it. Anyone healed by hextech has a film of web like goo on their skin. Multiplying cancer like cells are shown under a microscope. S2e2 the membrane with the holes appears again and a wild rune matching the appearance appears.
S2e5 a cave is covered in bubbly fungus (bubbles and holes are both types of tryphobia). S2e6 the herald’s architecture features trypophobia. S2e6/7 character have flashes of scopophobia and trypophobia from the hex tech.
S2e7 Jace is teleported to a world full of the remnants of bodies coated in the holes membrane. A little less than half way in, after Jayce crunches his bone into place, he dabs his wounds and the wound has the membrane appearance. (For me trypophobia textures are bad but they are even worse when I see them on skin personally) as a time montage plays out his leg is covered in the membrane. His hand later becomes the same.
Lots of depictions of trypophobia in s2

S2 ep5 at around 1:15 - it’s not very graphic, it only lasts for a second and you barely see anything. the audio is mostly drowned out by the music
s2 ep7 at around 6:25 audio and visual, it lasts until around 6:40
- it happens again with audio and visual later in the same episode at around 8:40 and is over at around 8:55
- again in the same episode at around 18:50, it only lasts for like 2 seconds. there’s a visual but it’s not really focused on, we’re seeing it happen from far away. there’s not really audio other than a sort of yelling sound. definitely not as bad as the other two moments.

the enforcers have been shown as aggressive and cruel, or often more passively enabling brutality and inequality. some attempt to change the system from the inside, but are met with intense resistance including violence from their superiors.

Edit: YES! Very explicitly!!!! in the scene before the intro in episode 9 a character attempts suicide multiple times. There is also a scene at the end of the episode in which it seems that this character succeeds, though this is somewhat left up to interpretation.
Pre act 2: No, but a character could be interpreted as suicidal. This character mentions that they "are ready" when faced with death, and stops fighting.

mildly early on- a child having a breakdown hits her own face a few times and a character under the influence of a dangerous substance crushes a glass vial in his bare hands, drawing blood quite possibly accidentally. see other comments for other instances.

a character who struggles with likely ptsd and psychosis traits is violent sometimes. she is portrayed sympathetically. + honestly i’d say she isn’t the only character with mental health issues in the show. many of the characters are shown in fights at some point.

It’s difficult to unravel Powder/Jinx’s psychology, there are solid arguments to be made for a range of neurological conditions, some innate (like autism) and some acquired from trauma. Suffice it to say, she is almost definitely neurodivergent and she is, at times, shamed and mistreated for traits and/or behaviors that are often associated with autism.

The episode begins with an underwater scene, it appears to be calm but repeatedly cuts to intense fighting scenes taking in water, sound effects include screaming/yelping underwater and the sound of water splashing, moving, bubbling, etc.
Best to skip or mute this scene if you're sensitive, personally it was the sound design that made the scene feel so convincing/real.

Noticeably, is the number of people of color present. There are many women in lead roles and even important minor roles. The body diversity among the female characters is also praiseworthy. They don't suffer "same face syndrome" like many animated movies/series have (à la Frozen). There are thin women, bulky and very muscular women (ex. Sevika), young women and old women. All are portrayed as complex characters.

There is a sex scene in episode 5, relatively discreet. No frontal nudity shown, all that is clearly revealed is a man's bare back, but sexual activity is clearly displayed. No view below torso, and scene is interrupted repeatedly as the show switches between two story segments in bursts. Doesn't last very long and as of yet it isn't referenced more than once.
