I'm very happy to see Illaoi

Here you have, a FEMALE juggernaut that actually look like a fearsome warrior. So far the "Juggernaut" role has been dominated by mostly, if not entirely dudes, but now Riot decided to create a champion like Illaoi to say "guys, you had your fun; now let's bring in a female juggernaut".

And that's not all. No unrealistic anorexic barbie-doll like appearance to satisfy the desires of 15-year old boys. Nope. Illaoi is a lean, mean, fighting machine who's also female. So far Riot has been making VERY good progress towards designing female champions after the release of Rek'Sai, so I applaud Riot for their effort and please keep up the good work!

She looks so damn badass...

Almost as badass as Braum, who is frankly the greatest badass there is.

I feel she is darius like with her kit and she has heim's q as a passive. If you cant destroy those tentacles and if they had a short respawn time then she should be perma ban.

i would like her to look more feminine or at least like a woman.

i hope they don't hop on the sjw circlejerk train and realize aesthetics is part of a game.

But you're right, FINALLY strong, unrealistic depiction of women. Honestly shut the fuck up.-

Yes, it's nice that Riot designed a champion that actually has the muscle that her kit requires. From what I know about her and her kit, she seems like a champion I'll want to buy. But there's more than one reason why she's the first female juggernaut: that being the obvious one everyone gets pissed about, which is making all female champions thin and very curvy, but there's also science.

Sorry, but men are just generally physically more powerful. I'm not saying that women can't be strong, but the strongest men in the world are also the strongest humans in the world because of testosterone. Furthermore, there's 4 juggernauts. All of them are men. Two of them are human. The other two I guess are dudes, but not technically human.

I tried to find a Wikipedia page on the world's strongest women but female bodybuilding isn't as powerful because women are kinda discouraged from that and stuff.

I wouldn't call Illaoi lean. She's frickin' huge. So much muscle. Like a female Braum. They both use blunt objects as weapons too.

Illaoi IS unrealistic. Just not in the "anorexic barbie-doll like appearance to satisfy the desires of 15-year old boys," way. Just like all LoL champions, she's unrealistic af. It's logical she's muscular since she's a juggernaut and stuff, but women are almost never that ridiculously muscular. In fact I see more women on a regular basis who look like the other female LoL champions than I see women who look like Illaoi. I see more men who look like Darius and Garen than I see women like Illaoi.

Technically she's the first female champion (unless we count Kindred although you're technically 2 entities) since Rek'Sai. The first (living) human champion in a long time. Since Jinx perhaps?

The fact is, honestly Illaoi is one of the most unrealistic living, 100% human champions in the game. It's good that Riot's releasing female champions with more than one or two usual body types, but don't call it realistic.
