Why are there more Male Champions??

Toxic Diana·May 29, 2018·3 votes·3,045 views

Riot, I write to you with extreme anger towards the sexism you've inserted into the game. I do not understand why the imbalance between Female to Male champions even exists. In our world, we have about the same amount of females as we do males. However Riot intentionally creates 75% of their champions as Male rather than female.

and WHY exactly? Can females not fight? Can they not be violent? The worst part is, not only have they been creating LESS females, but they've been making them uglier and uglier.

Like seriously? ? Bitch can pass as a man any day. ? she looks as FLAT just like my morning coffee. Wait, let's not forget ! Now females are being portrayed as Disney characters because Riot refuses to create a hot adult woman.

What a pathetic company. I've lost all respect for you Riot.

could you not bring "social justice" nonsense to a game? we play this game because we enjoy it just like any other game. it doesn't have to mirror political/societal beliefs.

This has a lot to do with gameplay. A lot of people such as I refuse to play male Champions. You can see from my op.gg, that every champion I have played in ranked thus far has been indeed, a female.

Now, having an imbalance between Male & Female champions means that I am quite restricted in what I can play. I'm only able to play around 50 of the 140 champions so far.

FOR JUSTICEMay 29, 20185 votes

you still seem to be correlating riots lack of female champions to random assumptions such as "them not being able to be violent" or "unable to fight" (yet ones like Illaoi Camille Elise Evelynn Fiora Kalista Karma Leblanc Katarina Xayah Diana Irelia Riven Syndra Tristana Zyra Vayne immediately smash that theory to bits)

but think about it. why do you flat out refuse to play male champions? and whose fault is that for purposely limiting their champion pool?

based on your description of the 3 champions in the OP it also seems you want them to be over-sexualized and just highlight feminine parts of their bodies. this would actually be a problem because it portrays them as always looking this way.

Nonviolent Female Champions: Ahri (sorta) Janna Karma Lulu Lux Sona Soraka

FOR JUSTICEMay 29, 20183 votes

karma isn't actually inherently violent, but she can be (one of her quotes is even "an deal is nothing... unless you fight for it!"). lux also isn't either, she has a super bubbly personality but can still fight. ahri is more of a predatory thing.

It is YOUR decision to only play females champs. No one's fault but your own.

Yeah, either you're not reading it all, trolling, or you don't know what a SJW is. This is anathema to their position:

ok... so the OP just wants more female champions in the game. just because she refuses to play male champions.

hmmmmm

because no matter how she words it, this is what its going to boil down to.

The key thing you seem to be willfully ignoring here is that she wants "Hot women." Some no SJW is going to say "we don't have enough hot women in the Presidential Cabinet." They just aren't.

Im defending a gender, how is any part of that trolling? Maybe if we didnt have so many male champions, we'd have more girl gamers on league of legends.

this implies women only play this game for female champions.

Opens the argument with "there are more males than females" Spends the rest of the post bashing on female Champions that do not look as girly wants.

PhieldworkerMay 29, 20184 votes

This is a troll post. Well I certainly hope it is. The female champs that come to mind like Camille, Irelia, Ahri, Fiora, Xayah are so strong and I think represent strong powerful females. To completely ignore the fact that they are so strong as women is kind of an insult to women. Not to mention, it’s a video game so there’s is that. Riot is just trying to make cool enjoyable champs and I’m sure they aren’t trying to push a male or female agenda.

could also be because the majority of their player base is male...

The worst part is, not only have they been creating LESS females, but they've been making them uglier and uglier.

this is a lose lose....you make them ugly and u complain.... you make them all look like MF and you are being overly sexual in how you portray them.

The23rdGamerMay 29, 20182 votes

I main Sona and it's not like she doesn't look particularly feminine or anything. I agree that there is a disparity between the male to female ratio, but there's always going to be a lack of some sort of characteristic in League. I've seen posts all over the place talking about the lack of any openly homosexual champions or a general lack of champions that aren't white humans.

It's a game. The creators should be able to create champions as they please so long as they have good intentions behind them. It's not like League follows the "damsel in distress" idea anyways; your goal is to destroy a nexus, not rescue some 'helpless' woman.

(Also as other people have pointed out there are TONS of female champs in the game that are examples of diverse and strong personas. Ahri Akali Anivia Annie Ashe Caitlyn Camille Cassiopeia Diana Elise Evelynn Fiora Illaoi Irelia Janna Jinx Kaisa Kalista Karma Katarina Kayle Kindred Leblanc Leona Lissandra Lulu Lux MissFortune Morgana Nami Nidalee Orianna Poppy Quinn RekSai Riven Sejuani Shyvana Sivir Sona Soraka Syndra Taliyah Tristana Vayne Xayah Zoe Zyra )

Damn. The amount of sexist, racist, homophobic and discriminatory comments being made towards my thread are appealing. Stop Mansplaining things to me, it's rude.

The thing is.

You're being sexist here as well by blaming all men for being rude to you.

You have no idea who's men here or who isn't.

You're the one assuming genders.

FOR JUSTICEMay 30, 20182 votes

the only sexist and discriminatory comments are yours actually (and that one random comment from ss pappino), but you

assume females only play female champions because they are female
only want champions with hourglass figures and mainly unrealistic body types.
your assuming only the men are disagreeing with you. which is directly contradicting your own comment:

Welp. I'm not in charge of champion design so I guess we'll just have to wait and see if Riot releases more black female champions.

I mean, Kai'sa could've been black for all I care. Her father, Kassadin, is Shuriman and Shurima is basically Ruenterra's Africa so it would've made sense biologically for her to be black atleast (I am fully aware that we do not know precisely what skin colour Kassadin had).
