Project Music Inspirations?
Now -when Project Zed & Friends came out, I HEARD some folks say that Warframe as a game was an inspiration. A lot of people denied it, and said that Metal Gear Solid was the sole inspiration. I agree MGS was definitely apart of Yasuo. But now I am sure, now that I've actually started playing Warframe I think it was apart of Zed and the Project theme music. Now the tagline for Warframe was always "Ninjas play free" and the theme was basically cyborg ninjas IN SPAAAAAACE.
Now, listen to the Project theme:

Now listen to this Warframe track by Keith Power @ 1m 35s to 2:21 called synapse.

If you listen, you hear what parts influenced the LoL track.
And here is the Ash warframe.

His abilities are also reminiscent of Zed. Including the "Death Mark" ability by name (lol Zed having come first though)
