League of Legends champions design has evolved a lot since the game's release in 2009. Since then, Riot Games is always up-to-date the style in which it creates and illustrates its characters, which makes those who were released there Many years seem out of place to the younger ones. However, a few years ago the developer has been updating her old champions with visual reforms, and a series of events is making the community be suspicious that CHO'Path can receive a visual update-or is that Riot is only involved in one more case of plagiarism? Learn more about this story in the text below.
Everything started with a lol art contest
In a Reddit post, User Somemockodile shared with the community a guess: the possibility that CHO'Path is about to receive a visual Rework and all this began thanks to a memory.
In 2017, Riot Games held its traditional LOL and Taylor Arts Contest Enforcer Jansen participated in the competition by sending a new concept of art to CHO'Path. In the images drawn by him, the emptiness terror had an even scarier look than what he already has, gaining a more robust look. The look was very well accepted by the community, which distributed many likes and rowers to the artist.
This souvenir of Somemockodile came to light when Riot posted a video about updates and news from Team fight Tactics. It is possible to see an image of CHO'Path, but not as the champion we know, but as in the illustration that Enforcer made for the company's own contest.
Because of this, the Reddit user imagined that perhaps Riot was spoiling a possible visual rework of the emptiness champion, or even leaking the new CH by accident. Currently, the main difference between CHO'Path we see in the game and the illustrated by Enforcer is the absence of the mouth in the neck created by the artist.
However, we have a big plot twist here. Between 2017 and 2022, Enforcer began working at Riot as a concept artist of skins. However, he was not responsible for the art that appears in the TFT video.
In her personal Twitter profile, Enforcer said, I'm flattered that another Riot concept artist has been inspired by my design, but as far as I know, there is no plan to use it in any future content. The question that is in the air from now on is: Is it a riot artist plagiarized another riot artist? Tell us your opinion in the comments.
