Possible concept and insperation of Evelynn

Why still investigating Evelynn's backstory, I found a character that Evelynn may have been modeled after. Eve shares traits with the DOTA 2 Character: Queen of Pain. http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2013/231/c/9/queen_of_pain_by_klimnt-d6it1gh.jpg http://www.mobafire.com/images/champion/skins/portrait/evelynn-masquerade.jpg

Quick lore Analysis: Eve; Mysterious Blue skinned woman possibly from the Shadow Isles. Said to be a deadly Assassin who works for high prices. **Queen of Pain:**Was a succubus summoned by a king who had a fetish for pain. During one of his pain sessions, She threw him out of the highest room of his castle. With the king dead, she was set free; free of any one summoning her back to where she came from-Contract destroyed.

So what's the comparison? Their moves are centered around the concept of pain. Evelynn's spikes and Queen of Pains spells. They both are fueled by other's pain. And I believe this is where the concept of Evelynn came about....some years ago. Similar features. They both have blue(ish) skin. With voluptuous figures. The both dark themed.

I think who ever made Evelynn, look at queen of pain, was inspired to to make a similar character....a well as some other champions. Anyway, what do you guys think?

A huge amount of early LoL champions are heavily inspired by Heroes from DOTA (Guinsoo worked on the game, and the entire gameplay system of LoL is based off of DOTA), but Akasha (QOP) got a Lore rework for DOTA2 to remove all the Warcraft references. You'll probably want to compare her original Lore instead for that bit:

"Akasha is one of the many souls claimed by the blade, Frostmourne. Raised to serve the Lich King as a Banshee, she desired to become pure substance once more. Driving deep into the forests, she was able to subdue and possess a Succubus minion. Rightly bearing the title, Queen of Pain, she enjoys nothing more than inflicting massive damage on her foes, using both the poisonous strikes of her succubus host and the vicious howls retained from her Banshee nature. Akasha breaks her enemies' eardrums with torturing screams, some so loud they manifest into powerful waves that ripple across the lands, shattering all in their wake"

They are both based off the same succubus champ from the original dota (the game mode of Warcraft3), and a succubus also has a general theme so any succubus across any game/platform are going to be similar.

And last time I suggested a Succubus like Eve everyone else objected except 1 other guy who did the same thing months before.

DOTA 2 Character: Queen of Pain looks nice....didn't think that game had sexy champs...
