Line 5:
== Champions A-M ==
==== Akali ====
* Skins: Stinger Akali resembles The Bride from ''[[Kill Bill]]'', Crimson Akali looks like Electra from ''[[Daredevil]]'', and Silverfang Akali looks like Smoke from ''[[Mortal Kombat 9 (Video Game)|Mortal Kombat 9]]''. On top of it all, her classic skin strongly resembles Jade from ''[[Mortal Kombat]]''.
 
==== Amumu ====
* Take a close look at the icon for Bandage Toss -- it's him doing the [[Spider -Man]] web-shooting motion.
* There is an upcoming Robot Amumu skin. [[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy|Where else have we seen a chronically depressed robot in fiction?]]
 
==== Annie ====
* Skins: Pretty obvious. You've got [[Little Red Riding Hood|Red Ridding Annie]], [[Alice in Wonderland (Literature)|Annie in Wonderland]], and [[Frankenstein's Monster|FrankenTibbers Annie]].
 
==== Ashe ====
Line 38:
==== Ezreal ====
* Dance: The Hare Hare Yukai from the ending credits of [[Suzumiya Haruhi|The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]].
* Quotes: Several References to ''[[Indiana Jones (Franchise)|Indiana Jones]]'', including "[[Those Wacky Nazis|Noxians]]... I hate those guys..." and "You belong in a museum!"
* His energy bow looks a lot like the bow used by the Quincy in ''[[Bleach]]''.
 
Line 45:
 
==== Hecarim ====
* Quotes: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|"Suffering is magic!"]]
* Dance: Though it could be seen as a reference to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RG0tf5CmfJk Discord's memetic dance], it bears the closest resemblance to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST3WBD3SNbY Dope Zebra].
 
Line 54:
* Quotes: One of his lines "Today is a good day to die!" could be one to Star Trek, but possibly instead to Sitting Bull or Crazy Horse.
** He says a line from The Charge of the Light Brigade verbatim: "Ours is to do and to die.".
** He also says "For my father, the king.", a line of Prince Arthas from ''[[War CraftWarcraft]] 3''. As one of the developers worked on [[Defense of the Ancients]], a Warcraft 3 custom map, this was quite certainly intentional.
 
 
==== Jax ====
* Skins: His hockey-themed skin is called [[The Mighty Ducks|The Mighty Jax]]. PAX Jax, which was released for the [[Penny Arcade|Penny Arcade Expo]], appropriately wields a cardboard tube and has a ''[[PacmanPac-Man]]'' logo on his clothes.
* His name and character are a reference to Garet Jax, the armsmaster who was an expert with all weapons, in Terry Brooks' ''The Wishsong of Shannara''.
 
==== Karthus ====
* Skins: Phantom Karthus wears a mask like [[The Phantom of the Opera]], and Pentakill Karthus strongly resembles Gene Simmons from [[KISS (Music)|KISS]].
* A somewhat elaborate example; Karthus' innate passive's icon, Death Defied was originally a picture of a sheep crossed out. One of the most powerful items in ''DotA'' is Guinsoo's Scythe of Vyze, which turns people into sheep. Guinsoo uses Karthus' icon in the official forums. You make the connection.
 
==== Kennen ====
* Quotes: [[Chrono Trigger (Video Game)|"I am the wind!"]]
* Skins: Deadly Kennen is a fairly obvious [[Deadpool]] costume. Swamp Kennen is [[Star Wars|Yoda]].
 
==== Leblanc ====
* Skins: Her Wicked skin resembles Cruella de Vil of ''[[101 Dalmatians (Disney)|One Hundred and One Dalmatians]]''.
* Quotes: [[Archer|"Lying is like 95% of what I do."]]
 
==== Lulu ====
* Quotes: Not something SHE said, but when you use her E on someone, hover over the debuff and you'll see that it ends with a "[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (Video Game)|Hey!]] [[Stop Helping Me!|Listen!]]" Presumably coming from Pix.
 
==== Lux ====
* Quotes: [[The A-Team (TV)|"I love it when a plan comes together!"]] [[Sailor Moon (Anime)|"In the name of Demacia, I will punish you!"]] [[Memetic Mutation|"Double Rainbow? What does it mean?" "Shhh! I'm charging my laser..."]]
* Lux is largely based on Marisa Kirisame from ''[[Touhou]]''. Her ultimate is called Finales Funkeln, which is German for "Final Sparkle." This is taken from Marisa's Final Spark (a variation on her trademark spell known as Master Spark), which is also a giant rainbow laser beam. Lux also calls herself an "ordinary witch," while Marisa is The Ordinary Magician, and both are known for copying spells from other people. Finally, Lux's Sorceress and Spell Thief skin may be based off of Marisa, most notably the witch's hat and broom on sorceress and the similarity of the outfit and wand of Spell Thief to Marisa's outfit in UFO.
 
Line 90:
==== Mordekaiser ====
* All of his abilities are heavy metal songs.
** Innate passive: [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Iron Man]]
** Q: Mace of Spades aka [[Motorhead (Music)|Ace of Spades]]
** W: [[Metallica (Music)|Creeping Death]]
** E: Siphon of Destruction aka [[Megadeth (Music)|Symphony of Destruction]]
** Ultimate: [[Black Sabbath (Music)|Children of the Grave]]
** Debuff: [[Iron Maiden (Music)|The Prisoner]]
 
==== Nasus ====
Line 101:
 
==== Nunu ====
* Skins: His Grungy skin is basically [[Sesame Street (TV)|the Cookie Monster and Oscar the Grouch.]]
 
==== Olaf ====
* Quotes: [[The Simpsons (Animationanimation)|"Urge to kill, rising..."]]
** His Brolaf skin features references to ''[[Anchorman]]'', ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', and more.
 
==== Pantheon ====
* Let's face it: he's obviously a walking reference to [[Three Hundred|300]].
* The Fullmetal skin gives him automail arms, straight out of the [[Fullmetal Alchemist]] universe
==== Poppy ====
* Skins: The facepaint on Noxian Poppy looks an awful lot like the members of [[KISS (Music)|KISS]].
 
==== Rammus ====
* Skins: King Rammus changes his color scheme to closely resemble [[Super Mario Bros.|Bowser]].
 
==== Riven ====
Line 149:
 
==== Tryndamere ====
* Skins: [[Highlander (Franchise)|Highlander Tryndamere]], compete with kilt.
 
==== Urgot ====
* Skins: Three words: [[Giant Enemy Crab|GIANT ENEMY CRAB]].
 
==== Vayne ====
Line 169:
 
==== Masteries ====
* The icon for Mastermind in the support masteries tree is a reference to the box art from [[Deus Ex (Video Game)|Deus Ex]].
 
==== Items ====
Line 181:
* An update for a more exact queue status now shows your place more precisely. Up to a certain number, when it just reports your current place in the waiting line as [[Dragonball Z|Over 9000]].
** Now even more exact (Over 20,000), but lost the reference.
* The in-game chat displays kill streaks using ''[[Unreal Tournament (Video Game)|Unreal Tournament]]'' lines, such as "Killing Spree!" "Dominating!" and "G-g-Godlike!"
