In 2015, the hero "Miyamoto Musashi" in "Glory of Kings" was spat upon by a large number of players because of his appearance resemblance to "Hanzo" in Overwatch. The early Glory of Kings used the names Heroes and League of Kings, and "borrowed" many elements from other games, anime, and illustrations during game development.
In December 2017, the official announcement of "Glory of Kings" will optimize Miyamoto Musashi's art, and its shape will be greatly changed, the most intuitive is the hair color and clothing. However, after 4 years, this adjustment is still not implemented, and the skill redo in Miyamoto Musashi's experience suit in 2021 has not moved.
On September 27, 2021, it was officially announced that a poster replacement will be performed on the skin of the brave "Maiden Ahu" in the next update. At this time, some players found that the hamster in the poster was very similar to the 28th hero of Overwatch, "Hammond". Coincidentally, in the September 28th version update, the poster of this skin remains unchanged. The official did not explain the reason for continuing to use the old poster, nor did it mention the relevant content of this poster, and players seem to have gradually forgotten it.
Recently, the second year skin of "Glory of Kings", Athena's "Covenant of Dawn" has once again triggered the anger of Overwatch players. Some players made a comparison chart, believing that the shape of this skin copied the "angel".
Some players poured into Weibo's King glory super talk, posted a spit on this behavior, and for a time the super talk was brushed by a large number of screens, full of plagiarism-related posts. In the comment area of the official Weibo of King glory, there are also many players who angrily question the similarity of appearance and action.
At present, the glory of the king has not responded to the problem that Athena Seine's skin is similar to the angel's shape. Whether it is plagiarism or not, it is not easy to make a judgment at present. Previously, the multi-platform open world game "Glory of Kings World" authorized by the IP of "Glory of Kings" was criticized by everyone because the suspense poster completely copied the material of "Original God", and even the players of Glory of Kings could not watch it.
In fact, although the content of the early "borrowing" of King's Glory has been revised, there are still omissions. In the background story of the character of "Lanling King", there are still related fragments similar to the old man in the al-Atair Mountains in the original Assassin's Creed. Coincidentally, the lanling king companion skin "Hidden Blade" in the early name also happened to be "Assassin's Creed", and its poster and model are also highly similar to the Assassins in Ubisoft's representative game Assassin's Creed.
"Glory of Kings" still has a long way to go if it wants to completely take off the plagiarism hat. Many times, the outsourcing of the pot is not the answer to everything, and players are more concerned about the problems of the Glory of Kings project team itself, so it is very worthy of strict review in the selection of materials.
