i don't... understand...
first of all hatsune miku really? how are you planning to tie that in?
-they both have blue hair
my sister has blue hair does that mean she is a software that sings robotically?
-they both play a musical instrument
OH WAIT NO THEY DONT
-they both sing
sona is a MUTE smart man.
they both have sizeable breasts.
were hatsune miku to exist in real life, and no matter how much you want that, she would still be as flat as a plateau.
as for pantheon.
....really?
if you wanna criticize pantheon why not criticize olaf? he's obviously a viking knockoff... what about ninjas? Did shen apparently reside in pajan before the league?
he is a spartan warrior, leonidas is not the only spartan that ever existed, he's only the most famous and not even by historical account, but because someone made a film about him and a bunch of other spartans...

-myon's ghostblade.
I lol'd.
i honestly thought this was an easter egg thing like guinsoo's rageblade, obviously someone liked that sort of thing on riot side, and why not.. its one item.
so out of...how many champs we have 30somehting? 40 something?
you managed to find fault with 3 of them being "unoriginal"
and 2 items out of what, 100ish now?
GOOD JOB, I WOULD SUE RIOT WITH EVERY ONE OF MY MONIES FOR BEING UNORIGINAL NOW!

And if Riot made 5 minor indiscretions, what about Blizzard?

They are known for putting pop culture references all over the place in WoW, not just sprinkled here and there.

"Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Not exactly the same thing. It means that copying something is the most unbiased form of flattery.

In any case, I think the OP is being pretty dumb and fairly near sighted. Olaf has a nod to Techno Viking which he missed, Mordekaiser rips-off every heavy metal band ever with his skill names and Taric may or may not be affiliated with a certain 80s cartoon. If you're going to point out how many times RIOT has ripped something off, at least be accurate.

As an example, i named a troll in wow after my late father. I did it as an anagram, and i doubt anyone will ever figure out who it is. I don't care if they do - it's my nod to my dad. Look at it like it's a perk for being a designer.
the hunt is on!
