Riot should get a lawsuit from Blizzard.

I mean seriously, just because somebody at Blizzard came up with a better way to do a moba that is more balanced doesn't mean you have to out and out COPY them. Bilgewater Bridge's art style is sooooo close to Blackheart's Bay on HotS. Even the TURRET designs look bang on similar. Also, your new game mode "Blackmarket Brawlers" is such a blatent rip off of HotS, I had to laugh when I saw it. You collect items to summon powerful stuff. I mean seriously, must be a Blizzard fan at Riot.

Even the new HUD is incredibly similar to the one in HotS. I'm really suprised Blizzard hasn't tried to sue Riot already, considering they are the larger and more successful company. It is not nice when lesser known companies try to copy the big boys.

If you are gonna copy HotS, then copy the right things and take out snowballing, adding global EXP so you can have less arrogant players?

Pirates and docks are not copyrightable...

And as for the HUD design neither Riot nor Blizzard were the first to go with something that looks like that.

As dumb as this argument is, I still think the guy trying to say assassins are the highest skill cap champions and that supports are inconsequential still takes the cake as far as stupidity goes.

I dunno, the people that keep telling Riot to add Mirror Mail and Aghanim's Scepter aren't exactly using any of their grey matter...

You are an idiot OP.

That is all.

"OMG, you did something slightly similar to another game? Totally copying them, they should sue you."

Because it's not like every kind of game has similarities within its genre, right?

Riot has needed to fix the HUD for a while, and the bridge is literally just a visual alternate map for ARAM. As for Black Market Brawlers, I have been playing HotS since beta somewhat regularly, and I haven't seen a mode where you start the game with a summoned monster that you pay to upgrade. Then again, HotS doesn't have money, or any other means to upgrade such a minion, so maybe I'm just trying a bit too hard to take the piss out of your ~~mouth~~ post.

OP's post:

Next time I see anyone putting fking cheese in their games, oh it WILL be ON, imma lawsuit the crap out of those mozaforkers for copying cheese from my favourite game that actually came out after this game I am bitching about.

Wot.

Tbh I really don't know what's the situation here.

EDIT:

It is not nice when lesser known companies try to copy the big boys.

If today is 5-10 years ago you'd be mostly correct, but now the most played game is LoL, and not WoW, Starcraft, Diablo or HotS.

I don't get obsessed over Riot and they certainly do have many things that seriously posses me off but saying they're are the new kids in the prison shower is just a little not true.
