Hello! Thank you for noticing and for drawing our attention to it. While there are a lot of beautiful champions in our game and it is inevitable that some of them, may, indeed, resemble celebrities, things like that should not take place, unless intended. Thus, we have changed her avatar to the one that more looks like the character.

Wow. This is so very blatant. It's obvious the art department is just being lazy or has been instructed to do this. I mean, look at Leonardo's hand placement and face, then compare. I know in another post @cirilla states the following:

I hear you.. I'm sure I would hold that company line myself if I were in your position. 

Anyway, I'm just saying, this was not just random luck. The images are clearly changed "just enough" to not get sued or shut down in the US and lend a familiarity to the characters. In games, people like to invest in characters they care about and again, this gives the characters a sense of familiarity and worth. This seems to happen more in gaming due to ease and the nature of the digital beast, and it's far cheaper than paying the celebrities for their endorsement of your game.
