My wife had seen the new teaser image on Twitter -

But not looking closely at who posted the tweet, she read the silhouette as that of Reinhardt, one of Overwatch's signature heros -

I thought it looked like Reinhardt's silhouette too when I saw it. I highly doubt Riot's artists have been in a bubble since Overwatch was released, which begs the question why they didn't try and alter the crown more.

Who is this "Reinhardt" and why do you post a picture of Mordekaiser in a thread about Galio?

Everyone talking about how it looks like Reinhardt when, no offense to Blizzard, Reinhardt's appearance is the most stereotypical giant knight ever.

Honestly I feel it'd be dumb to try that hard to avoid similarities. Reinhardt isn't in LoL,so why should they care? I mean of course they won't make a champion that is a ripoff of reinhardt(so no power-armor knight with a hammer,shield and charge attack),but something as small as a crown/helmet with 3 spikes on the head doesn't need to be avoided.
