Alliance LodA’s comments on the new Anti Mage Persona
Fwosh, an artist known for her Dota 2 Parody videos
No[o]ne thinks that this persona belongs to a League of Legends character
"This persona is just a LoL skin. I mean, it's like a toy, as it is in League of Legends. There's a Katarina, a woman who jumps back and forth, throws knives at her. This Anti-Mage persona looks a lot like her right now. This is taken from LoL, as far as I'm concerned."
