Riot Games has filed a DMCA claim on Teespring against a Ukranian independent artist for using the word 'Arcane'. Upon attempting to dispute the claim, Teespring has responded with effectively "The claim is valid because it came from a big company". You can find more context on the thread posted by the artist here :
