Cannon shooters inspiration is tristana?

Not sure if this has been posted here, but Tristana from League of Legends may have been the inspiration for Cannon Shooters.

Reminds me of that episode of southpark where butters turned into a bad guy and every evil plot he came up with, the Simpsons did it. Just to find out that the Flintsons did all of the things that the simpson's did.

[url=http://spadow.wordpress.com/2010/07/26/kmst-v331-mechanic/]Mechanic[/url] was released in Tespia July 26, 2010. Using the interactive timeline on League of Legend's site, it shows that Rumble was released April of 2011. Mechanic comes first.

"The hand cannon was widely used until at least the 1520s in Europe and Asia, where it was mostly supplanted by matchlock firearms."

I commend you for using the word 'inspiration' rather than how most may say that the idea was 'stolen'.

the only similarity i see is that they both hold cannons. that is all. if i see two characters holding the same weapon, i wouldn't think one is inspired by the other.

[quote=urdad9939]Haha I see what you're talking about. But seriously, I'm sure everyone rips things off of everyone else. It's no big deal anymore. Did you see what Nexon Korea did for the new Pirate revamp? One of the skills basically has a pirate shoot out a Bullet Bill....no one cares about copying others anymore lol.[/quote]

I'm not saying Nexon ripped it off, I'm just saying she seems like a good contender for Cannon Shooter [b]inspiration[/b].

Its a Cannon.
Thats like trying to say all the mage classes are ripped from EVERY OTHER MMO OUT THERE.
There are going to be coincidences, live with it.

First of all, How is that "inspiration" a inspiration when it is just the link of the cannon shooter picture, or is that just to show the cannon shooter.
Second of all, WHO THE HELL IS TRISTANA O_0 ?

EDIT : might have read some stuff wrong, don't flame me on the first thing, but seriously, who is Tristana ... I don't play LoL so IDK
