Summoners Alliance

Came across this on facebook... is it made by Riot? or is it a blatant rip-off? not only are they using the character models of most of the League champs but they also seem to use the VOs from other regions.. i swear i heard Galen (Garen) say Demacia in one of their videos!

seems like a sham to me

Yeah, I saw an advertisement for this while playing Agar.io and immediately recognized champions like Annie, Miss Fortune, Garen, Sona, Pulsefire Ezreal, and Rammus. If you look for the screenshot of the map, you can easily see that it's suspiciously similar to a map of Runeterra, just with less details and different names. (Some of them are actually hilarious)

Isn't there some sort of copyright violation going on here?

Another ripoff?

They've already gathered 12k likes on facebook, and I'm betting they charge for in-game features (like most other apps do).

I don't know if Riot normally punishes rip-off games like this, but I would if I were Riot. There's got to be some kind of Copyright violation, all the characters are exactly the same except for the name. Saw a video where they even used Howling Abyss as one of the battle zones.

I played this game a bit to see, and they rip off everything, when i played it atleast. Names and mobs.
