Just look at the similarities! Both of are disciplined and harsh, they use wires to travel and their faces look alike. This is Lin Beifong, she is a tough cop, very strict about enforcing the law and she's from Republic City, which in a way, also resembles Piltover.

Riot has definitely taken the whole inspiration thing to a new level.

EDIT : Here's a little comparison between the two's faces. http://prntscr.com/d8lnxv

I'm super glad I'm not the only person who noticed that :P Which is good because Lin's my favourite Korra character!

they already made a generic earthbender, why wouldn't they take something else

You're basing this on the idea that Camille is fighting for good like Lin is. Lin is a cop, Camille just seems like an assassin. "Justice" is subjective.

As I mentioned, they both use wires for travel purposes (and combat, too) and they have that expression on their face which explains like 80% of their personality. It's a pretty unique characteristic.

Lin uses wire's because she can control them. Camille uses wires because she's part-machine, Camille looks like she primarily uses her legs to fight rather than the earth. As for that expression, it's called "resting bitch face" and is more common than you think xD

Camille looks like she primarily uses her legs to fight rather than the earth.

Earth style is heavily dependant on using legs. Like most of them use legs to control earth with very little emphasis on arms. So, in a way, you could say they both primarily use legs to fight!

Also, for what camille is fighting for: She's defending Piltover's peace at any cost. That's her reason to fight.

That's the same thing I thought, I am currently rewatching Legend of Korra, making my bf watch it with me... ######I was just screaming in his face about this a few moments ago.....

He won't regret it [slayer-jinx-wink]

Yeah, he never got to finish TLA, so we watched that, finished it...

And I'm just like: cmn, I know you will enjoy this show! Trust me! :C And after 1 episode, I asked him if hes enjoying it,, he said yeah, he is.

I just think most people get thrown off on the fact its so different from TLA, but it's actually really good, and if you aren't a blind bat, you can enjoy both! c: ######like please, it's a new show, its supposed to be a little bit different.

It's more similar to how the people in attack on titan move around. and having blades for feet is like that girl in Tokyo Gore Police

Well the leg blade thing reminds me of a character from the movie kingsman, pretty cool nevertheless. some of these characters look pretty Jhin-ny in the comic so maybe an interaction with him for sure.

It was about time we had a non-comedic "bad, tough cop" character.
