July 18th, 2018

Multiple sources are reporting that, through its case against Moonton Technologies CEO Xu Zhenhua, Tencent, the parent company of Riot Games and developer of Arena of Valor, is to be awarded 19.4 million Chinese Yuan, or about $2.9 million USD.

Riot Games had originally filed a lawsuit against Shanghai Moonton Technology Co. for copyright infringement in 2017. Included in the lawsuit were a number of comparisons between their own game, League of Legends, and Moonton games including Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and Magic Rush: Heroes, showing a number of close similarities between both games’ heroes, maps, abilities, and overall assets. Some of these comparisons can be seen here:

This lawsuit was filed in the Central District Court of California but was dismissed due to another court or district being more conveniently suited to handling the case. Tencent followed by separately filing suit against Xu Zhenhua, Moonton CEO in China. Xu Zhenhua was originally made to pay Tencent 2.6 million Chinese Yuan, roughly $388,000 USD, however, this was deemed an insufficient amount and raised to the aforementioned 19.4 million Chinese Yuan.

  2. In the past, I used to play Mobile Legends and the reason why I quited the game is because No. 1: TOXIC PLAYERS EVERYWHERE! No. 2: Op Hero is released, then nerfed/buffed, and is most Op/Semi-Op. No. 3: WHERE’S THANOS?!! And No. 4: It’s a knock-off. And in AoV, there’s little to no trash talkers in the server and players are friendly. Though there’s one problem, Where’s Johnson (the transforming car dude) My boi? He was my best pick when I was playing the knock-off (but alotta hentai) game. Max can be his substitute but I just wanna run over a player with another player inside another player and be a drunk driver that I am. But I don’t drink in real life just in case you misunderstood that.

    • Also AoV is better than ML because there’s more friendly players and less toxic players than ML which a lot of Filipino players tends to swear a lot in matches and there’s no fun that can be found in it unlike AoV, which players tend to talk to each other even red team talks too and sometimes I even try playing hide-n-seek with one of the players by either them noticing me and be like “Hey! Come back here! I’mma kill u >:)” while I’am running through bushes and go back & forth or they just straight up try to kill me and I play hide-n-seek with them until I get caught.

      • Here in Indonesia AOV players are no less toxic than ML players lol, though from the quality viewpoint, Arena of Valor is definitely better in almost every aspects.

        • Although I highly doubt there’s more AoV players in the Philippines but sometimes people in the Philippine, Indonesia and Singapore (I think) are friendly but there less talkative than the Valiant (whatever it is, I don’t pay attention to the server lol) server.
