Riot issued an official statement regarding it. I have a hard time seeing the suit making any headway in court.

I don't see resemblance after reading the article tbh. Yeah Seraphine has pink hair and wears glasses sometimes. . . But aside from this, looks nothing like the woman

I think it’s a pretty clear resemblance, however, goon face-blindness is a thing and no goon is to be trusted when it comes to evaluating similarity or likeness between faces

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

i used my, quite frankly, frighteningly powerful brain to remember a previously experienced event, namely the guy making a character based off his wife in the video game he works on, to then determine that the quite generic looking white woman with hipster glasses and pink hair was probably not the inspiration for this character; the quite generic looking asian woman with hipster glasses and pink hair (aforementioned Wife) likely was.

i mean this is a company who every time they make a black champ they have a gun or can move fast so even if this were true, which it isnt, its almost a non-factor in their creative bankruptcy

iirc this isn't the first time that riot has just stolen some actual person's appearance for a character design but it's the first time they've done it because some dev bro couldn't score

also lol at riot's statement. "we investigated ourselves and found no evidence of wrongdoing" is some police union poo poo

What are you, compared to my magnificence?
goons can take solace that they make the exact same "i have a cat, maybe i'm seraphine??" jokes gamergate dudes are making under the official statement.

riot has had an amazing track record with treatment of women though so i'm sure they didn't do anything wrong.

agreed that the mean video game company saying a person hasn't worked there for more than a year and wasn't even in a creative department is the same as police brutality coverups

i mean if riot is lying about the guy 1) not having worked there since before they designed seraphine and 2) not working on champion design i think it would be pretty easy to figure out

but they're probably super stupid and lied about it anyway

edit: i mean her lawyer will absolutely destroy them if thats the case

I'm finding that gargoyle stoneplate may actually be a top tier mage item now - It's super slot efficient, gives you ability haste (which other mage items don't... really seem to have all that much of, to be honest) and additionally the active on it is arguably better than zhonyas in some situations - If you have any amount of bonus HP (from say morellos or tylais or demonic embrace) you're getting that as a shield on top of the 60 mr and armour, which could be like 1500 effective HP with resists.

Like if you're *only* against champs with physical damage zhonyas is probably better, and if you're against champs with choreographed skills like zed, it certainly is. but for general purpose use where you don't specifically need banshees or zhonyas to counter one of their champs it seems really, really strong.
