Copyright infringement?

I was sitting on my computer reading an article when I suddenly stumble on this add I found of League of Angels. Not League of Legends but of "Angels", note how it has a picture of Rengar. Is League of Angels associated with League of Legends? Why do they have a picture of Rengar on their advertisement?

Ah League of Angels is at it again.

Funny thing is 3 different devs are claiming this game, and while they may be all simply under a more shady 'parent' game dev, needless to say they've been ripping off a lot of Riot's art for a while. Funny thing is it's not uncommon for people to use the art and a lot of League's asserts, and it's perfectly fine to do so under personal use (except for the League and Riot logo of course). The second you're making money off it though........

I thought League of Angels was one of those "18+ games for guy gamers only". Why does it have Rengar ._.

Yep, League of Angels has been pulling this kind of shit for a while now.

Definitely wouldn't be the first time that this game has ripped stuff from more popular games for the sake of advertisements.

At one point they had video advertisements that ripped cutscenes out of one or two of the Dead or Alive games and used it for advertising.

I swear, this game needs to be shut down for all of the copyright infringement that it has been doing.

Wow, what a rip off. I was just surprised to see them openly use Rengar, I had also clicked the link just to see what else they took and they have Warwic art too. Makes me want to summoner 14 .

Another thing league of angels did was steal a bunch of voice files and put them on there preview. There frost archer for example has all of ashes lines.

I'm no lawyer, but doesn't Riot have the easiest lawsuit EVER against this game? I mean if so, it's free money they can just obtain from these morons.

This is one of the most blatant cases out here. They are an incredibly shady company and seems to love to rip others off. Easy money there Riot.

Bump.

Yeah, saw one for Ash, the rango is new. They're using a lot of Type-Faces that other companies use...

Reminds me of this: http://lintvkrqe.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/lawsuit.jpg

On the left is New Mexico States new logo, and on the right is Oklahoma State's signature logo. Lol.

These cheap facebook/browser games like League of Angels, Wartune, Edgeworld and all the others will put absolutely anything in their ads to get people to play their shitty pay to win games. E.g. (Wartune) Zelda216 lost her boyfriend to this game.

They all do this, there's presumably nothing that can be done to stop them. One ad for a Facebook game or something used a well-known screenshot from Dark Souls. It's been a thing for years and it will probably always be a thing.

League of angels has been ripping images from both chaos heroes online(korean dota) and league of legends too, theyre pretty shady

League of Angels does that alot. I also remeber one game taking some from League of Legends. Infestation: Survivor Stories took the Term of Agreement(TOA) from League of Legends, the ctrl c ctrl v that. The most impressive thing, is that, someone did read the TOA.

They've also use Kat and Ashe. Funny how they never use the actual angels on LoL.

Dar198211/17/2014, 1:50:38 AM1 votes

At least they did away with the "ARE YOU A BOY OR A GIRL?" ad. I would punch something every time that fucking ad showed up.

I've seen one of Ashe, too, but I don't remember it as "League of Angels".

Where did you specifically see the ad, if you don't mind me asking?
