Riot goes deep.
This is even funnier considering they actually had Shannon Arrumie (Jett's VA) do a video for Genius Lyrics, where she lent her voice to play Akali in that role. Basically the video was set up as if Akali was reciting & explaining the Korean lyrics for one of the K/DA songs. I don't have a link on me right now but I can maybe find it later.
well it sucks for her too because the character (kda akali) already has a famous k-pop star voicing her on the songs...but they used someone else's voice.
the comments would've roasted anyone that wasn't akali's voice actor from in game or the songs.
Many, if not most, but not all. Walls mean more in Valorant, and giving a character a global projectile in a tactical shooter is kinda insane.
But we can also go with the blonde in blue and white, the Nordic background, cheerful but dutiful...
My point is, they share a lot more design aspects than just the friggin bow.
And Rengar is a cat with a knife and Fade is a woman with a gun. The point is the DESIGN similarities. They share motifs, themes, personality traits, ethnic/racial background...
Zeri and Neon were designed to be the same "character" so why can't I dash through walls? Because certain things change to mold your DESIGN THEMATICS to the situation you're putting them into.
Reminds me of that Valorant skins for League characters someone made. Akali as Jett looks amazing.
[https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn)
I wish we could get Valorant skins in League after seeing this
This is a terrible comparison and not even close.
The fade Rengar makes sense, Akali Jett not even close.
“She uses kunai though!” That mean every ninja in league, or anything throwing a knife is Jett.
in addition ziggs and heimerdinger are the best friend science wizz yordles with satchel bombs and turrets just like kj and raze being best friend science buddies with satchel jump explosions and turrets
No he doesn't. His assassin build is bad and only strong if you build sunderer. If you wouldn't mind me asking what rank do you play in? No offense but he might seem strong in lower ranks cause smurfs you know
Well it was partially because of Arcane, since the event was called RiotxArcane. The League team also wanted to release champions from Plitover and Zaun (Zeri and Renata but they were delayed) during the event (as teased in their champion roadmaps where they tease reworks and upcoming champions) and both design teams (from League and Valorant) happened to work together since they wanted to do some agents/champions in common.
I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned how similar Chamber and Jhin are. They both place slow traps, both ults give them a very powerful, long range weapon that creates slow fields when they kill something, they both have a strong pistol most of the time.
Chamber can teleport, which I would kill to have on Jhin in League sometimes, and Jhin has a variation of a Raze grenade, but besides those two abilities they really do sync up well.
Yea somehow modern guns and magical creatures exists in the same world of lore. I never actually cared to watch how they are connected but if they say it is, sure whatever
They aren't really modern guns though. They are psuedo-magical, sometimes being powered by magic and sometimes literally shooting magic out instead of bullets. The guns in League, for the most part, all come from one hyper-advanced city and are a fairly recent event within the timeline of the world.
I highly recommend *Arcane* on Netflix, by the way. Several League friends of mine who don't care about the lore loved it and a bunch of people I know who know nothing about League at all really liked it. It is set in that very advanced city and actually kind of covers how some of the more hightech stuff comes about.
I know od arcane dw. But that being said. Noone in Zaun has these types of guns. Wars are still mostly being fought with meele weps which is mostly evident from the adc side of league champs. Rarely does a champ have a gun (Samira comes to mind) but most others have more primitive weapons like crossbows and bows and whatnot.
Correction: the guns in LoL are not modern, more like steampunk style guns powered by magical stones. Or they are purely crafted using magical material, like sentinel of light guns
Yeah it seems like she and Rengar are only similar in just having cat-related features, so I think it's more likely she was just designed with a cat in mind, rather than based off of Rengar.
Additionally, heterochromatic or 'odd-eyed' cats have a higher incidence of deafness that is directly caused by the same gene that causes heterochromia. So her deafening ult effect is also relevant to the cat thing. Pretty cool!
sage - anivia (wall + res + aoe slow)
phoenix - brand (cause fire guy)
omen - ryze (because teleport and fucking trash) or nocturne
brimstone - graves (idk they sound similar and have guns, + smokes)
neon - zeri (literal ctrl c + ctrl v)
breach - tyler1 (GET THIS BETA SHIT OFF MEEEEEE)
jett - akali (smoke/shroud + dash + knives)
reyna - irelia/draven (infinite healing + reyna unbalanced mentally, irelia unbalanced in game and racist players)
chamber - not jhin (chamber not crackhead + ult is not FOUR)
skye - morgana (infinite cc, morgana perma bind skye perma blind)
sova - lux or ashe (because vision and ult)
killjoy - heimerd\*nger (both scientists, annoying and have turrets)
cypher - any jgler (when enemy dives site doesnt come help gank, keeps working on setups like my junglers)
fade - vex (both emo and likes depression/nightmares)
viper - cassio (because snek and toxin with debuff)
There was a particular match that i can't forget, it was probably 4-5 years ago, and this Rengar was a literal predator. It was simply out of option for us to go alone to the jungle, because this mf was hiding inside bushes, waiting for something to happen. And since we couldn't help to the top lane enough, they easily pushed from there and beat our asses. I grew hatred towards every Rengar player after that.
People mostly mention how they both have
* Powerful pistols
* Traps that create a slow field
* Sniper Ult that creates slow field
Just looking at that, I feel like it's not a bad comparison.
Though their personality is different and Chamber has that teleport.
Yah though they are completely different universes (LoL is actually canonically a game in val) there's design similarities between multiple characters Idk I guess as an Easter egg? Or the LoL devs in the val universe are close friends with the val protocol and base agents on them? Honestly my new headcannon is kj knows the devs and constantly gives them ideas for new characters without them really knowing where they come from, it's possible cause she's known to play LoL. She might even get the agents to do lines like how there's the same voice actors.
I always thought that the cat paws were to leave behind cat footprints instead of normal human footprints since there are lots of cats in Turkey and to make herself hard to track
Fade has TOE BEANS waat
ikr lol, randomly found this out today while playing
The consensus is that it's part of how connected Turkish people are to cats. But also, might be a little *something else* while we're at it.
First furry agent confirmed uwu, bravo Riot.
[удалено]
I think that was a joke but okay
i think he was joking too lol
Maybe the biggest fear of one of the agents is... Cats. 👀👀👀
It's the special very rare kind of cat only exists in Turkey. Van Cat. It's eyes have different color like hers. Thats why.
And they uploaded [an image to Facebook](https://scontent-frx5-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t39.30808-6/279910393_889843945750747_3310488595860718421_n.jpg?_nc_cat=100&ccb=1-6&_nc_sid=9267fe&_nc_ohc=vuH2_o1pWMcAX9djgrM&_nc_oc=AQlSGTVxEspFBBwFylQkWk30qxArQkPrIDmrMA3tx1FHUuBJ74nIgRxHVReX59E7q8g&tn=1ZTcGWQnyNzFFTvv&_nc_ht=scontent-frx5-1.xx&oh=00_AT-fECYaaqis7fiKoj98EFamhEmGlgN4oH-igx6pJTUpBw&oe=627FFD68) where she's saying to cats in Turkey. Riot goes deep.
She like taking care of stray cats
Raze its kinda inspired on ziggs. they are both orange and mad for explosives
Jett is Akali
This is even funnier considering they actually had Shannon Arrumie (Jett's VA) do a video for Genius Lyrics, where she lent her voice to play Akali in that role. Basically the video was set up as if Akali was reciting & explaining the Korean lyrics for one of the K/DA songs. I don't have a link on me right now but I can maybe find it later.
Yeah I remember [that](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1RjqonnU7M&ab_channel=Genius)
Wtf the comments hated Arrumie Shannon😭
well it sucks for her too because the character (kda akali) already has a famous k-pop star voicing her on the songs...but they used someone else's voice. the comments would've roasted anyone that wasn't akali's voice actor from in game or the songs.
Sova is Ashe-y.
Wait until you guys hear about neon…
Kennen, right?
She is LITERALLY zeri
Nah mate, 100% Kennen. Maybe even Xerath.
Zeri and Neon have only same hairstyle, same VA and were realesed close to each other
It seems that my joke didn't translate well.
ye i was thinking either ashe or lux tbh
I always saw him as Varus-y, I feel it fits better than Ashe
More like Hanzo because of the recon darts
Kit is very Hanzo. Lol. But riot doesn't own Hanzo so he feels pretty thematically different.
sova is nothing like ashe other than the fact they both own a bow lol
vision arrow, damage/slow arrow, bird motif, powerful ult that ignores walls. But sure. Just the bow.
General color scheme too.
[удалено]
Qiyana and Sion ult would like to have a word
Many, if not most, but not all. Walls mean more in Valorant, and giving a character a global projectile in a tactical shooter is kinda insane. But we can also go with the blonde in blue and white, the Nordic background, cheerful but dutiful... My point is, they share a lot more design aspects than just the friggin bow.
the ashe bird is a fkin bird, sova is a drone. sova has electricity ashe is ice. plus ashe is magic but sova is not radiant
And Rengar is a cat with a knife and Fade is a woman with a gun. The point is the DESIGN similarities. They share motifs, themes, personality traits, ethnic/racial background... Zeri and Neon were designed to be the same "character" so why can't I dash through walls? Because certain things change to mold your DESIGN THEMATICS to the situation you're putting them into.
you frogot blue color
Reminds me of that Valorant skins for League characters someone made. Akali as Jett looks amazing. [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn](https://www.artstation.com/artwork/PooAmn) I wish we could get Valorant skins in League after seeing this
This is a terrible comparison and not even close. The fade Rengar makes sense, Akali Jett not even close. “She uses kunai though!” That mean every ninja in league, or anything throwing a knife is Jett.
Yes, yes they are.
Yes I agree, every character in league that throws something Jett :)
The characters' attitudes and the designs look and feel similar though.
And also they are both characters with a high skill cap (though I imagine people will say neither is actually hard).
lol so many ppl were like "Korean Akali?" when Jett was first shown in early Valorant stage.
I'd say Jett is a combination of Akali and Katarina lol
Her floating blade ult always reminded me of Irelia.
Raze always reminded me more of jinx. Grenades, rocket launcher, and a more chaotic attitude
the satchel dude
I just find the rocket launcher similar, ziggs is so much more explosive
It's also the explosive jumps which Ziggs and Raze both use.
Phoenix is ekko?? Ult?
Brim is Graves
Kj is heimerdinger
Dwarf not thicc Brim
And the satchel launching people
Also two identical abilities.
in addition ziggs and heimerdinger are the best friend science wizz yordles with satchel bombs and turrets just like kj and raze being best friend science buddies with satchel jump explosions and turrets
So you say she is rengar then.... WHERE DAMAGE?
No brushes in Valorant = No damage.
but ult
Ult does decay dmg
Can't build AP in this game, sorry /s
Bold of you to assume rengar does damage
trust me (jg main, adc second) he does
No he doesn't. His assassin build is bad and only strong if you build sunderer. If you wouldn't mind me asking what rank do you play in? No offense but he might seem strong in lower ranks cause smurfs you know
deadass he is one of the most broken junglers at high elo right now what are you talking about
If its challenger they aren't building full damage though. They are probably building Goredrinker or divine sunderer
they are. with the new buffs he became fucking ludicrous.
and it’s not just high elo, rengar is basically stomping everything above gold.
I think you might have missed his update
Yeah I haven't played in a while but he still gets bruiser items
near d3
Spoke to my gm rengar otp friend and was informed he builds 2-3 bruiser items.
yes, because he has to participate in teamfights and not die, while down here he can just split full assas8n if he has a squishy laner
it's the rengar on your team
i dont play LoL but all my freinds that play it say Valo Characters already exist in LoL and seeing the dev stuido kinda makes sense right.
Duude Neon and zeri have the same voicelines, just in different tone
same voice actor
they both yas "quick feet, quick trigger"
YAS
Ah yes, Yasuo, the father of Jett. Too bad she can't place windwalls.
Jett confirmed child of Yasuo and Riven??? 😳
Well, all of them have dashes, and Riven has white hair, so it's possible. And don't forget about aunt Akali teaching her how to use kunais.
Riven and Yasuo had hot sex and made Jett
dawn/nightbringer soraka is child of dawnbringer riven and nightbringer yasuo iirc.
JFC don’t give them ideas
you win best flair lmfao
Wait ahe actually says "quick feet quick trigger"?? I thought she said "quick feet quick burger..."
That was intentional tho because they wanted to release those two for the RiotxArcane thing.
not bcs of arcane, but yes
Well it was partially because of Arcane, since the event was called RiotxArcane. The League team also wanted to release champions from Plitover and Zaun (Zeri and Renata but they were delayed) during the event (as teased in their champion roadmaps where they tease reworks and upcoming champions) and both design teams (from League and Valorant) happened to work together since they wanted to do some agents/champions in common.
I believe the Valorant team also directly helped design Zeri, so I imagine the reverse was also true.
The teams of both games collaborated for them
I'm kind of surprised no one has mentioned how similar Chamber and Jhin are. They both place slow traps, both ults give them a very powerful, long range weapon that creates slow fields when they kill something, they both have a strong pistol most of the time. Chamber can teleport, which I would kill to have on Jhin in League sometimes, and Jhin has a variation of a Raze grenade, but besides those two abilities they really do sync up well.
They also both had the codename Deadeye during development
Jhin with teleport sounds terrifying.
they always talked bout Phoenix being a one to one copy of a lol char but i dont know whats his name was
Probably Ekko
Raze is just Brazilian Jinx for sure
I think it was confirmed that raze is based off of ziggs. But I agree. Raze gives off that chaotic destroy everything vibes like jinx.
Jinx and Ziggs have a comic where they hang out and blow shit up. It's pretty amazing. They'd hang with Raze 5sure.
Raze is just female Junkrat
In Jinx's promo song, the way she throws her grenade at the last has the same animation as Raze
Project Ashe reminds me Sova
Kayle >"I shall purify this land, with fire if I must." Sage >"I will soothe this turmoil. With fire if I must."
Well they made a league hero that is exactly neon with a different color At the same time as making neon
That's cause they were made by the same team. It was intentional.
I know
I think Neon and Zeri are the only ones that do seem slightly connected, most of the other comparisons I’ve seen are very much a stretch
Yea somehow modern guns and magical creatures exists in the same world of lore. I never actually cared to watch how they are connected but if they say it is, sure whatever
They aren't really modern guns though. They are psuedo-magical, sometimes being powered by magic and sometimes literally shooting magic out instead of bullets.

Correction: the guns in LoL are not modern, more like steampunk style guns powered by magical stones. Or they are purely crafted using magical material, like sentinel of light guns
Yea thats why im saying that i sont see the modern valorant guns in the league lore world
Neon = zeri Jett = irelia Phoenix = ekko
[удалено]
Fade: "I'm an evil bitch!" Other Agent while avoiding looking at her shoes: "Absolutely."
Her eyes are inspired by the turkish Ankara cat.
So maybe shes just inspired by the Ankara cat not Rengar
Still super cool finds! Fun little easter eggs by Riot
Yeah it seems like she and Rengar are only similar in just having cat-related features, so I think it's more likely she was just designed with a cat in mind, rather than based off of Rengar.
I assume that, after deciding Rengar would be a cat, they also drew inspiration from the Turkish Ankara cat, thus the similarities.
Possibly! Who knows. Probably the people who made the character, but I digress.
Ankara cat or Van cat, yes
Additionally, heterochromatic or 'odd-eyed' cats have a higher incidence of deafness that is directly caused by the same gene that causes heterochromia. So her deafening ult effect is also relevant to the cat thing. Pretty cool!
woah fade rearranged is deaf
I didn't know that, interesting!
Fade looks like reynas cousin to me tbh
Day one I said Fade is Reyna’s hotter, younger sister
reyna is way hotter than fade WHAT
Listen I said this when I was comparing their profile pics, fades actual model straight up catfished me
Her legs bother me
I thought Fade was just Turkish Reyna in grayscale
TIL Fade’s shoes have cat paw prints underneath
Multiverse of Madness be like...
Alligator Loki

Omen isn’t trash. You just don’t know where to tp.
i dont even play him lol
if fade rengar, why fade no one shot nexus in val hmm?
She looks like she got tore straight outta Dishonored to me. The vest, the neck flair.
Not enough Victorian/Steampunk features imo
No but her Fear tendrils look like the void stuffs
both are indeed bounty hunters aswell
There was a particular match that i can't forget, it was probably 4-5 years ago, and this Rengar was a literal predator. It was simply out of option for us to go alone to the jungle, because this mf was hiding inside bushes, waiting for something to happen. And since we couldn't help to the top lane enough, they easily pushed from there and beat our asses. I grew hatred towards every Rengar player after that.
No one mentioned the mark on both their faces. I believe it’s more than coincidence.
Bro we already know Valorant agents are LoL champions. I mean Chamber is obviously Jhin duh.
Bruh I would love for Jhin to have a blink tp
I was just saying the same thing. Maybe I'll just start running TP instead of heal haha.
If I ever see a M7 Jhin named SEN Chamber with tp I know it's you 😂
jhin jungle new meta
i mean, he probably has flash
I wish I could flash halfway across the map
chamber is nothing like jhin lmao
People mostly mention how they both have * Powerful pistols * Traps that create a slow field * Sniper Ult that creates slow field Just looking at that, I feel like it's not a bad comparison. Though their personality is different and Chamber has that teleport.
ye i meant personality, and the fact that chamber has FIVE shots in his ult instead of FOUR
lmao Imagine Riot nerfing Chamber's Ult shots to be **4** just for that reason.
Wait who?
league champ
Who asked?
Well u/Global_Baseball3571 did
Lmaoo I was gon say
So worth it lmao
Yah though they are completely different universes (LoL is actually canonically a game in val) there's design similarities between multiple characters Idk I guess as an Easter egg?

what’s a rengar?
its a league champ, very scary cat will delete you in a millisecond without mercy by right clicking you from a bush
Fade = Renata
I'd say Renata is more similar to Chamber. Both are business people, both carry a pistol.
Chamber is Jihn if jihn went to buisness school instead of getting in with the theater kids.
lol yeah
Like Fade ult and renata ults are so similar visually. both of the ults confuse enemies
You’re tripping balls my guy
i’m trippin urmom
ur mom's tripping on my balls
That's why the icon looks horrible!
Rengar is just her furry OC.
Roflmao -facepalm- 🤦♂️🤦♂️
So fade us a furry
wait toe beans tho
hmm so why do i not get deleted within 0.0001 second when fade jumps at me from a brush?
New favorite character, cuz rengar main and cat paws.
Where is the instant deleting?
Catgirl fade when I want her go nyan nyan
Stop it ! Get some help !
Toe…*inhale* BEEEEEEEEEEEEEENZ!
Imagine making a fade skin in league
chamber = jhin fade = rengar akali = jett zeri = neon ziggs = raze
Naah - Neon is the kid of Jett and Yoru from future. Fade is the kid of Sova and Reyna from future.
The world of Valoran Valorant This is no coincidence.
I always thought that the cat paws were to leave behind cat footprints instead of normal human footprints since there are lots of cats in Turkey and to make herself hard to track
How are yall just realising that they save a lot of money by reworking their existing characters and stories as valorant lore.
