Rek'Sai being called female without any feminine traits BUGS ME
People asked for a "female monster" that wasn't pandering to thirsty teenage boys. Result: Riot makes some generic void creature and says, "Oh btw it's a female."
lol really?
I think you need to think about what people mean when they say "female monster", like what do they REALLY want?
What are female creatures known to do? They do disgusting things like spawning broods, eating their mates, laying eggs, implanting eggs inside a live host, etc... These are things that are unsettling and creepy and only female creatures do them. I think when people are asking for a monster they want something gross and bizarre.
Honestly, Elise is much closer to a female monster than anything else in the game. She just happens to transform into a sexy humanoid. But she actually spawns offspring. She's actually closer to the mark than Rek'Sai. She's reminiscent of Broodmother in DotA, who is like exactly on the mark. This huge creepy spider that could be hiding in the many webs she makes, so the webs themselves make you paranoid. And she gives birth to nasty little spiders that fuck you up, and if she kills you, she uses your corpse as food for more young. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE WANT.
I want a female monster with this ult:
"Latches on to target enemy champion and sucks out their bodily fluids to use as a genetic base, then lays an egg which will hatch after 5 seconds, birthing a grotesque half-breed, vaguely resembling the victim."
See what I mean? TBH Rek'Sai has a cool kit, is a cool champion, but is a failure. I'm sorry Riot, I have to be honest.
These guys have two vowels in their names and distinct voices, unlike Rek'Sei, I think Riot knows what they are doing ^^
