For example, the Crystal Maiden in Dota is essentially just Jaina Proudmoore from WC3, Axe is Grom Hellscream, Lina is the Human Sorceress unit, KOTL is the Human Archmage, Omniknight is the Human Paladin, etc etc etc... a lot of very clever modifications are done to some of the models, granted, but their source material is pretty easy to see
You said unit.
