I will just leave these here, as I just recently found out about this but Riot really needs to step up and do something about this. There are just too many similarities to be a coincidence. I will admit i saw her art and went "oh that's based off of Kindred", but we need to bring this up again as all those threads are months old now.

This has been discussed over and over again already.

They said already that they did not base kindred around her character and its a coincidence,that stuff happens all the time(for example there are 2 comics named dennis the menace who were created at roughly the same time with none of the creators having ever heard of the other one)

It should be especially obvious if you look at kindreds design process: -They wanted a duality champ and life&death is a common and fitting theme for that. -They wanted some duality that reflects that in the champs,thus they chose the "predator-prey"-theme and made one male and one female -Lamb&wolf was fitting that perfectly,as black dogs are also an omen of death,while lambs are associated with life. -Later on they scrapped the "life"-part and made the 2 into different aspects of death,while keeping what they created before.

And thats pretty much the most important stuff as far as the similarities go.

Please tell me if this:

Or this:

I mean, just look at Bunny... she is a woman wearring a bunny mask, Lamb in other hand is a furry-like creature that wears a wolf mask.

Bunny represents Life and Lamb represents an aspect of Death.

there is nothing similar between both characters, aside from the wolf... and both "Wolf" are tottally different. One is a full body with cosmic-like... "fur", the other is just a head made of shadows and wearring a lamb mask.

Where were you?

Didn't this already get resolved?

Fay S0ff12/11/2015, 6:52:25 PM4 votes

They already did. This was settled months ago, hence why those threads are old. So are we going to dig up every artist that created something remotely Yin and Yang and have them comment on Kindred too?

Hambone201312/11/2015, 5:04:35 PM3 votes

And full Metal Jayce looks like Master Chief. What's your point? Some artists work and a LOL champ look similar. Big deal.

insaiyanbacca12/11/2015, 7:13:15 PM3 votes

this has been discussed before and there are very few real similarities between the two.

you have your opinions and I have mine, I didn't post this to change yours, I simply brought this information to those who might care.

Well all know they stole it, Riot has already showed us that creativity is something they simply can't into. Just look into the reworked/retconned lore.

Twiggles12/11/2015, 1:45:19 PM2 votes

Rioters had been designing and refining Kindred for a long time. The similarities are a coincidence, as the whole predator/prey duality concept is really nothing new. It sucks that some people think this artist based her stuff on Kindred, but that's just an unfortunate misunderstanding. Truth of the matter is that neither of these character designs have anything to do with each other. They simply share a common theme.

The question is: Is there anybody who has a problem with it? I mean if I'd been the artist I wouldn't have a problem with a popular game creating a character based on my art ...
