As soon as I watched the reveal I immediately thought, “Oh that’s totally Evoker with a Grimstroke aesthetic.”
Anyone else keep noticing this? I know it must be hard to come up with original abilities/spells. The crossover between the two games is huge. Rubick/Sylas Zeus/Karthus Phoenix/Velkoz+Anvia. There are plenty more.
Been playing League since 2017 and Dota since 2018, never really saw it this Way. Characters are designed very differently in both Games, you’re bound to have similar looking Abilities when both Games have been around for 10+ Years (nearly 20 in Dota’s Case).
Ink Character/Painter/Caligrapher is a popular Archetype that shows up in many Forms of Media. League having one dosn’t mean it copied it from Grimstroke.
If someone thinks they are original it simply means they haven’t researched enough.
Regarding Gameplay… August shared that Hwei at one Point in his Development, had Ghost Walk. Currently Hwei literally has Sun Strike. Yeah they have taken Inspiration from Invoker.
I think this whole Thing is silly. The small vocal Minority of Dota’s Community who constantly look to “expose” League as if it fucking matters. I mean… did any League Player point out that Mars is a Copy of Pantheon? No, because he’s not. Then Hwei isn’t a Copy of either Invoker nor Grimstroke.
