I DEMAND RIOT TO GIVE AVATAR MORE THAN DUE CREDIT

I just saw the new champion teaser and the moment i saw her face it was obvious where the "inspiration" came from. Lin Beifong from Avatar the legend of Korra. Taliyah and Illaoi were kinda of a nod but this is getting a bit out of hand you even put on the Iron chains coming from her hips. I will spam your boards until i get some anwers.

Are they ok with this ? Because it is something i love, LOVE, and i might not be seeing anything like it again and you are making a profit of it. Edit: almost lost myself in details. Shes a copy, with some added stuff. Of course they would never put direct copy. But it is a copy, her face her look her color scheme. talking in boards was a huge waste of my time, dont anwer anymore. As i said, i already spoke to the right people. And it is not these 15 year olds fanboys from riot. Season 1 player and arts student i work in the field and i know a copy went i see one.. Dont anwser back unless you are riot , its a waste of my time. We have dragons from space and a blatant copy is all you can come up with. Yeah stick her metal legs from a villain of a movie and shes toootally not a copy .

the idea of manipulating earth was not invented by the people who created Avatar

Yes you are right avatar was totally the first person to come up with the idea to 'manipulate' the elements.

ialloi, really

she is clearly yet another lovecraft inspired champion (together with the void ones), even if indirectly

nobody cares if some avatar tapped into the lovecraftian mythos too

I actually lost my composure here. How many years have it been? all the feedback i have are from these fariy knights on the boards. I already talked with the right people. someone talked about blind love. The irony

Riot has not blatantly copied anyone from Avatar. They may have become inspired, but no one they make is a copy of any pre-existing character. Due to drawing inspiration from, and not trying to replicate, Riot owes nothing to no one, as all of their content is uniquely their own and only paying homage to pop culture. This is no different than World of Warcraft drawing inspiration from D&D, or making characters and nods to countless pop culture characters and stories over the years. This is no different than GTA making homages to any movie. Many, many games pay homage or make parodies of famous stories and characters, so chill. It's in virtually every game in existence, and they help people connect to the game and the characters through points of similarity.

Ah yes, I remember the episode where Lin Beifong went and killed people with giant metal swords sticking out from her legs. Or the time when 2 people looking vaguely similar but being different in every other aspect meant that the 2nd one was a rip off of the first. Those totally happened.
