Came across this article, and was like: "Now where have I seen this before?"

Even though, yes, techincally the article is I think dated after the skin came out... http://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/can-lady-gagas-keyboardist-make-his-donut-shaped-keyboard-brand-164802

Also, and this is stolen from some guy's comments on youtube, but can we make this a thing?

Classical Sona

Imagine Sona pushing some big ass classical piano down the rift to the turret:

Sadly, this is comparable to the people saying that the new champion is copying the "Anonymous" mask.

Just curious but, are you one of those people who think garbage can nunu is not based on Cookie monster/Oscar the Grouch?

...just an original creation which spontaneously appeared through some convergent evolutionary proces?

Oh I know skins are based off of things. Alien Invader Heimerdinger is a confirmed reference to "Mars Attacks!", Hazmat Heim is speculated to be a reference to either Breaking Bad or Fallout.

Wicked Leblanc -> Cruella Devil? Shen skins -> Mortal Kombat references? Red Riding Annie and Big Bad Warwick?

Etc. Etc. The Sona one is just a little less obvious, and isn't well known enough to be probable.
