I understand the article on Blizzard sueing Valve, but in this context it is completely different. Why is it a LOT of people seem to forget the guys who originally created DotA is now at Riot games? DotA essentially belongs to the community despite the trademark nonsense. Even DotA 2 has to give thanks to the first DotA and its team of dedicated modders and most of all its fans. Like I mentioned earlier, if Blizzard wishes to sue anyone -which would be utterly ridiculous- it should be S2 games for almost like-for-like hero clones.

And if anything, isn't Caitlyn's Q more closely related to Windrunner's Powershot? You channel for a second and fire it off, dealing less damage as it goes through multiple enemies. Why then is Varus being compared to Windrunner? Just because he uses a bow? Any character can use a bow dammit, it isn't copyrighted.

I don't have the link, but Riot did make a statement saying they will not be afraid to implement abilities they think is cool -and probably functional- for their champions, regardless of origin. And honestly I think kudos to them for that. DotA might have come first but it was inspired by something else, so for all you people who like to compare stop it.
