After the takedown, Opus rebuilt the game without the IP
Riot asked Izkimar to take the game down. They told Opus to remove the League IP and make it better. Their verdict: the licensed part had been the ceiling.
Riot asked for the game to come down. Izkimar's next prompt to Opus was not a lawyer letter. It was: remove their IP, and make it better — "10x," in the creator's words.
The interesting outcome is the creator's own verdict. Once League of Legends was no longer in the build, the game improved, and they thank Riot for the constraint. That is a sharper story than a clone. A takedown usually ends a project. Here it became the brief that forced an original.
What you are watching is the version that survived the removal. The licensed cast is gone. The systems had to stand up without them.

@Izkimar
Riot told me to take down my game. I told Opus "remove their IP and make it 10x better." turns out the League of Legends part was holding it back. thanks rito https://t.co/qVRqk3gNn5
