Is Riot ever going to address League of Stickman?

League of Stickman really deserves some legal actions against them. Recently, they released a samurai called... YASUO (hmm), and in the picture, he has blue around him, the same shoulder plates, same ponytail as our Yasuo, and a tornado in the background. Another new character they released is a monkey, and they named this one Wukong. This one isn't as bad, because Wukong was a monkey king in a chinese novel.

Also, one of the stickman looks like Zed! Same weapons and color scheme! Shuriken on his back and blades on his hands. Haven't played the game yet, so I'm not sure if this character's name is Zed, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Then there's also Master Yi in the game, and they use the same mask, weapon, NAME, and title of "The Wuju Bladesman"

Ashe... she's also in this, same color scheme of blue, and is also titled the "Frost Archer".

Of course, can't have this game without Lee Sin, the Blind Monk!

Garen is also in this! Not only did they use his name, but they used his title (Might of Demacia), and ripped his Voice over of "Demacia". I just can't believe there hasn't been any lawsuits against this.

Here's the trailer if you want to watch it. You can also see it in the google playstore.

Yeah, I know league of legends is huge and these guys are no where near making as much cash as them. But seeing other snobs copy others work this much, make it their own, and profit off of it is sickening. Unfortunately taking law actions against this would be difficult as these are companies over seas...

super hard to sue for copyright infringement in korea/china (where most of these knock offs come from)

easier and cheaper to just ignore it and focus on there own game

They have someone names Klown that is literally shaco. Garren is in there with another name as well as Ashe with slightly different abilities. Not to mention they use the same Icons for items as League.

That game looks 100x cooler than League of Legends.

Why are you on these forums then? HMM? I will escort you to League of Stickman's forums (if they had one).

I'm on the forums because League was all I knew...I've been enlightened now.

I would have to say... Considering LoL's champions names are from Gods (Nasus, Wu Kong Etc), Goddesses (Diana, Etc.),I really don't think Riot can "Brand" certain names.

Not to mention there are COUNTLESS champions in League that closely resembles champions from DOTA & HoN(even some names). I mean really, Have you played a MOBA that did not have Nasus & Wu Kong as champions/heros/whatever the game calls them.

Well the in the trailer the voices sound copied from League's Garen,Ashe et cetera Riot has grounds to sue whover made this.

It looks like an identical version of LOL for mobiles, so I'd guess that RIOT is in some way connected to this. It's absurd to think someone would copy content without permission and sell it. I don't think we've come to a point where we ignore basic ethics. If it's not some personal project from a fan who does it for free, I'd guess RIOT's involved.

No point in spending time and money going after small frys like this.

You can't be serious? This is like saying a thief should take law action against another thief for stealing something that they themselves have stolen... Look at riots champions and abilities and connect the dots. Most if not all of them stem from Anime, manga, movies, lore, ancient gods etc.
