* [[AFGNCAAP]]: Summoners are not "characters" in any traditional sense; you get to pick a screen name and a buddy icon, and that's all.
* [[All Your Base Are Belong to Us]]: The end result of any game. The question is ''whose'' base are [[Translation Train Wreck|belong...to...um...who.]]
** Exhibited by how every game ends with the camera going to a position centered on the losing team's Nexus blowing up - this happens even if one team surrenders.
Line 213 ⟶ 212:
** A few classic champions got their prices lowered, perhaps helping even out the average somewhat. Even if it's not that big a difference.
* [[Fan Service]]: See Stripperific.
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: The Rakkor are definitely meant to invoke the idea of the Spartans, right down to their armor and weapons. The tribe's name was originally Stanpar, an anagram of the word Spartan, but this was [[Retcon|Retconned]]ned when Leona was added to the game.
* [[AFGNCAAPFeatureless Protagonist]]: Summoners are not "characters" in any traditional sense; you get to pick a screen name and a buddy icon, and that's all.
* [[Fighter, Mage, Thief]]: Shen, Kennen and Akali, the three ninjas, are a tank, a fast medium-range nuker, and fragile speedster, respectively.
** The three champions available in the Battle Training tutorial -- Garen (front-line fighter), Ryze (mage), and Ashe (ranged damage dealer).
Line 509:
* [[Wretched Hive]]: Zaun and Noxus both qualify. Especially Zaun: sure, they may respect sentience of every type (as evidenced by Blitzcrank's freedom), but it's an industrial cesspool that values science above everything else, including morality, and is loaded with complete sociopaths who are given a free run of the place.
* [[The X of Y]]: Most champion's subtitles are this if not simply [[The X]].
* [[You Kill It, You Bought It]]: Instead of randomly-spawning runes in ''DotA'', there are certain neutral creeps scattered about the map which give temporary [[Status Buff|Status Buffs]]s. If you get killed while wearing one, they pass to your killer, with the sole exception being [[King Mook|King Mooks]]s like Baron Nashor; their buffs just disappear if you die.
