Frr, I've been maining chou on and off since season 8 but then I played him one day and he sounds so unserious with his new voice lines made me not want to touch that hero ever again. I hope they don't change paquitos voice lines and keep them as it is, serious with some cool and inspiring lines.
Cant even go into undead or scary monsters I think. I mean look at Brand and Thresh from LoL. Someone said that it was because Chinese government doesn't want these to be scary, like the skull so they humanized these in Wild rift
I mean... You can't really complain about it everyone has different preference in designs and china has a history about that i think I can't seem to remember, so you can't really blame them for sticking to it
Heavily inspired by the ODM gear from AoT, yes, but that type of movement hasn't been implemented in a MOBA until Fanny came out (at least as far as I know). That's arguably original in its own right (again, only in the narrow category of movement style in a MOBA)
gonna assume u asked if tiimber is played like fanny, the cable to obstacle and aoe damage is definitely copied from timber though moonton addded more stuff rather than just copy paste, also i dont think any hero moonton has released is original if compared to league and dota. like the new guy marcel is just faceless void turned into support
Yun Zhao is the name of a historical chinese general. Xin Zhao was another less known historical chinese general. LoL used the name Xin Zhao but most of the references point to Yun Zhao as their basis.
Mlbb just used the actual name but then changed it to Zilong, which was a title the real Yun Zhao went by.
Not saying Mlbb didn't copy Lol (really evident with the skillset), but Yun Zhao / Zilong is a common character to include in games with elements of historical china. Similar to Sun (but that's more mythical) and Yu Sun Shin (a historical korean general).
Historical Yun Zhao served the warlord, Liu Bei. Also a commonly referenced figure in books/anime/comics when it comes to historical china.
Yep, one of the warriors that fought during the three kingdoms era. He's famous for saving liu bei's son at changban when he solo charged at cao cao's troops by himself. Too bad some people may not know him because Guan Yu and LUfkingBU also in that era
The only reason why MLBB has Zilong/Yun Zhao is that HOK also had Zilong/Zhao Yun since 2015, both were even built as attack speed focused hero just that the HOK version has a cc ult than attack/movement speed buff.
Actually HOK had it as Zhao Yun since 2015 (Zilong for global release, alternative name to historical Zhao Yun), Yun Zhao is just fitting in English standard.
before even replying to this in order to argue, please make some research first
Moontoon started by literally stealing HOK as the base of MLBB, their founder is from Tencent and definitely know about cancelling the global release and going for AOV, so they made their own with stolen assets and even had to copy other IP for Alucard, Akai, Balmond, Franco, any many more in order to dodge lawsuits.
The original map of MLBB is just a slightly altered 2015-2016 map of HOK, even the UI is very similar back then.
During 2018-2024 MLBB focused on copying LOL, then back to HOK by 2025.
Where did dota developers went? Which company made a mobile game about it? After that MLBB just stole and copied everything in the market without any permission or legality.
They wanna revive MLBB China which failed in just a week.
Bad timing to give out cash rewards irl and in-game when HOK launched a Chinese Pro League skin at the same time, they rushed to MLBB to get free money for that
The irony of looking for originality in MLBB when it's a clone of LoL. To the point where a lot of the animations they use are ripped straight out of the files of LoL.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who finds that extremely hilarious
And I think It’s in the skins too. I can’t help but notice every other new skin tries to outdo the previous in terms of flashy animations and vibrant colors, all just to end up as what I like to call “unoriginal cosmic-slop”. One of the few heroes that I believe have genuinely creative and well thought of skins that actually interprets the essence of the hero is Grock.
they are now owned by UAE, and are vehemently pro Gen AI, with no pushbacks, it wasn't good before it's not gonna be better. But yeah, let's keep telling people AI is not a big deal 🤷 I'm sure these guys love paying for the same thing over and over again while our natural resources are drained.
This is something called the "same face syndrome", and is definitely NOT something I pulled out of my ass.
To be more serious, I'll make a famous example in a gacha game, named 'FGO'. It's called "Saberface". The term is coined because a whole lot of characters in the Saber class share the same face as the most iconic girl of the series, Saber Artoria. Now, the reason for this is because I'm pretty sure it's the same artist that they commissioned which led to the whole "Saberface Syndrome".
So, really, it's an artist falling back to easier and more familiar designs. And it might be a case of don't fix what isn't broken.
the gaming industry is one of the biggest copy cat industries on the planet. I don't care if its from China or the dev is based in the USA. Everyone copies everyone, of course not verbatim, we can easily accuse moonton for copying, but even Dota, or Leage of Legends is a copy. In the documentary for LOL, they openly said they got the idea from the DOTA that was originally played in warcraft 3.
Nothing is original under the sun,I think what you mean is why they're reusing the poses on every splasharts. It's easier and cheap and nobody really cares thtswhy they can get away with it.
I miss the old fanny splash art, made her look way more serious and hotter. Kagura's too, the old one looks way better. I miss when their splash arts weren't very anime-esque, those made my 14 yo self feel things and fetishes I never knew existed
I think this has been a recurring problem for awhile now. The last non human hero released was Chip which was 2 years ago, and before him was Gloo which was 5 years ago.
Dragonball character designs still work well even if it's technically the same face with different hairstyles. In fact, it creates a signature look for the franchise, so I don't mind the similarities. Same thing with MLBB.
Thats called "same face syndrome" for an artist lmaooo ... not all artist can always draw 100 different faces all the time so this is likely expected for an artist. Do u ever wonder why anime only has a maximum of 10 main characters.... Same face syndrome baby.
MLBB heroes were stolen from league of legends since the start, i keep explaining this and people don't understand.
They take the hero - redesign it to pass copyright and release it as a new hero. Moonton has been sued multiple times by Riot games and there is ongoing.
same face syndrome can be original sure, but it's like the same joke repeated over and over again, might be the funniest thing you heard the first time, but it's ear grating for the 1000th time.
