League of Legends

Many things in the modern world draw their inspiration from ancient Greek and Roman history. It can be architecture, movies, and even games. One of my favorite games is League of Legends. It draws a lot of its character inspiration from Greek and Roman Mythology. 

For example there is a minotaur named Alistar:

There is Cassiopeia, who's lower half is that of a serpant. One of her abilities is that she can turn people to stone, like Medusa. Also she turns to stone when she dies.

Another character is Pantheon. He is a soldier inspired from Greek mythology.

Some characters also have skins (a skin is a different version of a character, but they cost money) based off of Greek mythology.  For example, 

Muse Sona

Dyraid Soraka

Siren Cassiopeia and Mythic Cassiopeia

There are many other characters in the game probably inspired from Mythology. 

League of Legends is a free to play online team game. Usually 5 vs 5 or  3 vs 3. Every character has their own special abilities, and usually they play a specific role during a match. It would be interesting to play on a team were everyone picked a character inspired from mythology. I'm pretty sure their abilities would work together actually.
