Smite has a skin for ra called ra'merica and if azir got a skin you would get some hate from the community since when forsaken jayce came out you got a lot of hate since we had a very similar looking skin made way before.

yes because development takes no time and if they release a skin its only been in development for however long since SG lux came out (wasnt it like.. a month, at most?) and not planned for months on end.

Star Guardian Lux came out on May 18th, so yeah, about a month

One is sailor moon and the other is a bride.... Splash art looks similar but when you're making tons of skins and champions you're bound to have stuff that looks similar.

Plus riot has taken stuff from other moba's before like champion ranking (smite), That one mercenary mode thing that just happened (Similar to HOTS)

This was just coincidence in my opinion. Idea's like champion ranks yeah I can see them saying lets add that it's a good idea. A splash art....yeah no, I don't think they sat down and were like you know what lets take that exact style and use it.

And I will also leave this quote from one of the community managers from Hirez

After we posted the artwork it was brought to our attention that there were these similarities. This artwork was made by a 3rd party and we are currently investigating internally what fully happened. In the mean time we have pulled the artwork and are working on brand new artwork.

Sorry for the issues surrounding this.

So don't blame Hirez for that, blame 3rd party people they paid to make the artwork who decided "Ah fuck it, draw a bunny and let's cash in our check"

As for the Ra'merica/Liberty Azir problem, I have to ask this, who would gives an actual fuck about it?

We're just... not gonna mention the fact Nasus is Anubis. We know he was in-game long before Smite existed.... But they did just take the Egyptian god and give him a moveset.

As if America should be contained to one game. Riot should make it in the name of Freedom. Azir

BioticBrony2 votes

Not saying it shouldn't but you would just get a bit of hate from the community of smite, I would definitely buy this skin if it came out.

VulcanIsHere1 votes

I actually don't think Riot cares about the hate they get from another game's community. It doesn't effect their game, really. Riot probably deals with hate every day, even our community is hating on them because of the no season rewards for toxic players. Just what I think.

HTTC9 votes

If NA ever wins world they need to make this a skin.

Don't forget that they also removed graves cigar due to another countries beliefs... Where's the self-centerism?

revliledpembroke5 votes

American self-centerism, eh? Says the person complaining about how Rito hasn't made anything about their country (Though I guess they could have). In fact, beyond Uncle Ryze, Statue of Liberty Karthus, and maybe Team Spirit Anivia and Bird of Prey Anivia, I can't really think of any skin that is overtly American. I guess stuff like the High Noon/Cowgirl skins, but it's also Desperada Cass and Bandito Fiddles. Oh, and here are some Asian inspired Skins: Dynasty Ahri, Temple Jax, Sakura Karma, Lion Dance Kogmaw , Guqin Sona, Samurai Master Yi, Warlord Shen, Panda Teemo, Panda Annie, Jade Fang Cass, Jade Dragon Wukong, General Wukong, amd DragonWing Corki. Loch Ness Cho'gath, Woad Ashe, Woad King Darius, Little Knight Amumu, Sherwood Ashe, Union Jack Fiddlesticks, and Leprechaun Veigar are all based on fact and legends from the British Isles. Fiora is French and TF has a Musketeer skin. Artic Warfare Caitlun is Russian. Mythic Cass, Siren Cass, and Dryad Soraka are all Greek. Nasus, Renekton, Pharaoh Amumu and Pharaoh Nidalee are Eqyptian. So it seems that aren't all that American centric after all. And wait...a skin for only a part of the community? Isn't that like....all of them? How many people will get the anime reference skins? How many people will get the Predator reference skins? How many will like something like "Evil Anivia (Blackfrost)." Someone else is bound to not like the Pirate themed skins or the Ninjas because pirates raped and murdered people and ninjas were assassins. Some people don't like to play tanks. Everyone will have a different opinion on what they like. Just because you don't like the idea of a third overtly American skin, doesn't mean others won't. And a significant player base is American. Just saying.

VulcanIsHere1 votes

And here I am wanting a Canadian inspired skin... even if it's teemo.

revliledpembroke1 votes

You....you....you mean Vancouver Amumu?

VulcanIsHere1 votes

I think it was more made for the Olympics, and it just happened to be in Vancouver. He has the Olympic colours, not Canadian

revliledpembroke1 votes

Well, it still says Vancouver in the name. That's more Canadian than the actual US skins. Sure, they reference things that are iconic American things, the Statue of Liberty and Uncle Sam. But there is also a Statue of Liberty in France, and Uncle Ryze could just be a coincidence and is trying to visit his sister's kid. Vancouver Amumu is pretty hard to mistake for something else. It actually specifically references a city in Canada.

League of Potato7 votes

All the World Cup skins, All the Brazil skins, lunar revel skins, etc... Riot is an American made company, yet they hardly make American themed skins, and when they do, they get people like you calling them "self-centered." Get over yourself.
