Corki isn't even an ADC at this point, one is a rat, and Ezrael is barely a dude.

So you have what, 5 left?

12 female marksmen and 9 male and you can argue mini gnar is marksmen, and that jayce in range form is too. if thats the case then the numbers are 12 and 11. urgot use to be a marksmen. so if you include him its 12 and 12.

but once again why does it matter?

What's the point of this thread? Insulting Ezreal ?

Likely because, statistically, female league players are usually Mid or ADC mains, not support. Most of the support mains I've played with were actually guys. shrugs

Marksmen usually need to have small and slender figures in video games for game play reasons. You can't have a squishy marksman the size of a Cho'gath because they would get blown up in seconds.

In video games there's a habit of making female characters mostly small and skinny. Small and skinny champions are usually marksmen or mages. There aren't many female tanks so it makes sense.

This being said, Riot is trying hard to change the stigma of female characters being all the same body size. Champions like Illaoi and Kalista break this. It's good to have diversity in champion shape and size just for aesthetics and character design. If every female in the game looked the same it would be visually boring and unappealing.
