* [[Banned in China]]: Similar to the issue with the Forsaken in ''[[World of Warcraft]]'', Karthus was redesigned from a skull-faced lich to a withered, shadow-wrapped figure for the Chinese art, due to taboos about representations of skeletons in media.
* [[Dueling Games]]: With ''[[Demigod]]'', ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' and, of course, ''[[Defense of the Ancients]]''. ''[[Heroes of Newerth]]'' unquestionably the most.
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Numerous.
** All champions with more than 5five symbols in their names have shorter nicknames for typing. Usually just first letters of the name, but any short name that clearly identifies the champion in question will do. Veigar is sometimes called [[Final Fantasy IX|Vivi]], Gangplank is [[Pirate]], and Alistar is [[A Load of Bull|Cow]].
** Certain champs get their [[Competitive Balance|perceived overpoweredness]] reflected with a spin on their name. For example, Win Nao the Senechal of Demacia, Free Win the Blind Monk, Gankplank, and Feed-lesticks.
** Second accounts are called "smurfs" (more or less officially, as Pendragon himself has one and calls it a smurf too).
*** This one extends outside of LoL.
** Ezreal is sometimes called 'EZ-Real'.
* [[Flip-Flop of God]]: Karma's [[Kimono|Sakura]] skin was originally referred to alternately as either "Sakura" or "Lotus" in different parts of the game until Riot settled on "Sakura".
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Some players have noted Garen's English voice sounds just like the English voice for [[BlazBlue|Iron Tager]]. Or [[Soul Calibur|Algol]].
* [[Name's the Same]]: Ahri's passive, Essense Theft, was originally called Soul Eater... the same as Nasus'. The community wasted no time in pointing this out to the devs.
