It’s still not clear which elements are plagiarized
In addition to disputes that can be resolved in China, Fitzgerald also explained that it is still not clear which elements of the game are involved “League of Legends” which were made by Riot and which were made by Tencent which were plagiarized by Moonton.
Meanwhile, Riot claims that China is an inadequate and very inconvenient forum to resolve the case due to COVID-19 travel restrictions in the Bamboo Curtain country.
But all three arguments were immediately rejected by the Los Angeles Federal Court, which claimed that Riot might want to “take advantage” of the US justice system, which would likely have worked in their favor, but not Moonton.

Moonton vs Riot Games Has Been Fighting Since 2017
Riot Games and Moonton’s feud has actually been in a lengthy copyright infringement battle starting in 2017, when Riot took Moonton to court in the United States, alleging League of Legends copyright infringement.
Then in 2018, Tencent Holdings, Riot’s parent company, won US$2.9 million or Rp. 44 billion in a lawsuit against Moonton co-founder Xu Zhenhua, who at the time left the company (the non-disclosure and non-compete lawsuit is against Xu for US$2.9 million, not against MOONTON Games as a whole).
Now in 2022, Riot Games has again filed a lawsuit against Moonton but was firmly rejected by the Los Angeles Federal Court because it could be settled in China.
