Riot, you may already be aware of this, but I thought I'd make a post to bring awareness to it. There is a MOBILE game floating around with the name of Ace of Arena's who is clearly infringing on your intellectual property rights. Most of the games assets are directly stolen from league, from their Health Bars, Maps, Trees, Items, Champions and even sounds. Many of the games champions even reuse League's voice actors.

Their** Sun Wukong** Champion does not speak, but his grunts and moans are clearly stolen audio from your Wukong's voice actor and also uses your attack/ability sounds. Cameilla is a direct rip off of Ahri, she has the same kit, the same ability descriptions and again she steals sounds from Ahri's voice actor and your attack/ability sounds. She also uses many of her animations. **Hiti **is their Ashe character who has her own unique voice actor but STILL uses Ashe's voice actors audio upon death and her ability sounds. Pandora, is a direct remake of Fiddlesticks with a different visual. Additionally, her ultimate Ravenplight uses the audio from Fiddlesticks Crow-storm. Her ability Soul Drain, also uses sounds from League.

This is just to name a few. This game is blatantly using your property in their game and can be verified by simply watching 5-10 minutes of game play videos found on youtube. Their art, design, graphics, sounds, music, voicing, is sometimes unique, but there is also massive amounts of property stolen from League of Legends.

Well, well, well... What we have here? It reminds me of the old school days, when your "pals" acuse you with the teacher when you did something "wrong"

To be honest i agree with most of your statements but you could say things in other way next time... Yoy sounds like a fanboy to me.

Not only Hiti or Pandora... Also Lucen, he is Garen, anyway, i'm not really sure about any violation here... Time will tell.

I love League Of Legends and i like this mobile game also, really fun to be honest and the experience i had in lol is very noticeable hahahahaha.

The entire list -Constantine (Kunkka from Dota2) -Alice (Annie from LoL) -Lucan (Garen from LoL) -Natasha (Caitlyn from LoL) -Hiti (Ashe from LoL) -Aldov (Darius from LoL) -Pandora (Fiddlestick from LoL) -Patch (Pudge from Dota 2) -Camellia (Ahri from LoL) -Kadar (Talon rework from LoL) -Minaya (Mirana from Dota 2) -Saka (Jarvan IV from LoL) -Musaya (Master yi from LoL) -Gaer (Brand from LoL) -Habbie (Teemo from LoL) -Lillith (Morgana from LoL) -Thor (Zeus from Dota 2) -Electa (Ezreal from LoL) -Sun Wukong (Wukong from LoL)

These are the ones i know but maybe other heroes from smite or Heroes Of Newerth have been taken too. This is a super game of course but they obviously use other game content

Just saw an advertising for this on Youtube. In particular I noticed the old ground design. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkjyYQe6pA4

This is the moba site. Check out the list of champs. This game is fun and has all the elements of LoL in its game play. Lilith is Morgana with a slow in her ults ability. Wonder how long it will stay alive as a game?

Even though it is an exact rip off of the game league of legends and Dota 2. This game is way too easy to really get anywhere. The pvp are bots, the items are not very wide. And there's not even 100 thousand players. It's just another small company trying to make something big.and if it gets big I'm sure riot will step up. So why complain about it?

In order to discuss whether or not this is illegal or not, lets look at other franchises that have done this with real world things: -GTA Vice City Stories: Inferno vs Lamborghini -Ratchet and Clank: Gravity Bomb vs Bomb -Slitherio: Snakes vs Blobs -League of Legends vs, well any other MOBA -Vainglory vs Ace of Arenas

These laws have always been rather sketchy, however "Modification Right. The modification right (also known as the derivative works right) is the right to modify the work to create a new work. A new work that is based on a preexisting work is known as a "derivative work." says that you can keep some of the similar properties but as long as you change something up,( such as graphics, names, etc), then it is protected under copyright law

I bet that there's some loophole that's being exploited and needs to be...'PATCHED'! Best joke ever. In all seriousness, these games are not unique in the slightest. They don't even try to be discreet about it either. They need to be stopped asap! What they're doing is not ok, they are thieves.
