There is a big difference between allowing others to download a project created using ripped assets from a commercial game, and building a game that uses custom made assets that look similar to a released game.
If the op wanted to release the game commercially (with non-ripped assets that are very similar) he may run into trouble legally with Blizzard, but that is his choice. If it is non-commercial he still might get a cease & desist letter if Blizzard really wanted to protect their IP, but once again, that is his choice and we would not remove it.
Bottom line is we removed the links because of the ripped assets, not because it is similar. If the assets used were original works, inspired by another game, we would have no.
