Basically, state your opinions that may be considered unpopular. About League of Legends.

I think Miss Fortune would be more attractive with more clothes.

Miss Fortune has disgustingly huge tits. I know this is a game of fantasy with magical creatures and stuff, but her waist-to-boobs ratio is jarringly unrealistic. As long as people under 16 play this game (still developing body-image psychology), I second the opinion that NO female champion should be dressed provocatively, and wearing high-heels in battle? Come on. Further, Elise and Zyra stand out to me as champions that Riot really went out of their way to sexualize. I really was not expecting the Spider Monster or the Plant Monster to have ridiculous mammalian features. On a slightly related note, I would request another Female Non-Humanoid Champion. I believe the Void offers plenty of opportunity there.

I'm in the camp of "the Voidborn don't have genders".

cshakesAug 16, 20143 votes

Unfortunately, Riot ruined that by referring to all of them as "he" in lore. (I'd just have referred to all of them as "she" to screw with people's minds a bit. Also, according to Terran life, Koggles' mommy would be much more terrifying trying to protect him than his daddy.)

MrBuffingtonAug 16, 20147 votes

Don't forget Morgana's waist. Or lack of one. It's honestly creepy, not sure if that was the intent. Also, a lot of the sexpot female champions try too hard in their VO.

Hyrum GraffAug 22, 20143 votes

I don't think there's a problem with provocative dress. I do think there's a problem with unreasonable body proportions. Morgana is not a body shape anybody should aspire to be.

Female champions shouldn't be so revealing (or at least some of them shouldn't have freakin' perfect bodies and barely any clothes). Also, there should be more hot dudes (like Jayce) to balance the number of hot males and hot females. Yes, I am a straight girl. I need some attractive dude champions. Hahah.

cshakesAug 16, 20146 votes

Jayce is not hot.

There are like two humanoid male champios that might perhaps occur in real life (Ezreal, Varus), and Ez is ugly like hell. Seriously, Vel'Koz is the most attractive male champion in the game.

I'm bi, and I just want a male counterpoint to the hotness that is Leona/Vi/Diana.

MrBuffingtonAug 16, 20145 votes

I thought Yasuo was supposed to be an attractive male? I remember part of his design was to be shirtless to appeal to some female Rioters, I could be mistaken though

cshakesAug 16, 20144 votes

Too buff and wide-shoudered, I don't think he looks much like a realistic human. Then again, my preference is for cute, androgynous-ish guys.

MrBuffingtonAug 16, 20143 votes

Hm....Lucian? Twisted Fate? DRAAAAAVENN????

Idk, Ezreal is the only young male type champion, but you don't like him, so...

cshakesAug 17, 20143 votes

Totally forgot about TF :P Lucian and Draven are in the category of too wide-shouldered.

MrBuffingtonAug 17, 20144 votes

Lucian too? Dang you're into some skinny dudes :P

What about....Fiddlesticks, lawl

cshakesAug 17, 20144 votes

He's a scarecrow :P

Also, why are my comments being downvoted? ._. Can't a girl express desire for non-muscular guys without beind downvoted?

MrBuffingtonAug 17, 20143 votes

I dunno, maybe you upset some Jayce/Yasuo fans. I upvoted them back to 1

Champions are supposed to be fighters, so most of them are naturally muscular, aside from like, Fiddlesticks....Karthus....and the Yordles...lol. Maybe Talon or Xin Zhao, but again probably too muscular for your taste

cshakesAug 17, 20143 votes

Ty :)

Yeah, thing is, I feel like Lucian would probably be the muscular extreme (most men would be less muscular) so the fighters/tanks should have about that level of muscle and the squishies should look slimmer. What need does a long-range mage have for huge biceps?

I could probably talk for hours about how League needs more skinny dudes, muscular women (especially tanks/fighters), female monsters, and less high heels.

MrBuffingtonAug 17, 20145 votes

Lucian just seems like the athletic type to me (I think that's why he got the world cup skin). I mean, sure most men are less muscular than Lucian, but most men are not professional athletes either. League champions are supposed to be the best of the best in Runeterra.

But yea, I do agree that like, Malzahar/Ryze/etc are awkwardly muscular (I mean, Ryze is kind of a fighter, but he doesn't punch people, so...). Zed is strangely beefy for a ninja.

Master Yi is pretty slim. I always thought Leona/Riven/Vi/etc were too skinny for the weapon/shield they're using (especially in A New Dawn, Leona's arms are freaking tiny).

Have you ever seen portrayals of Ninjas? Or even IRL, nijas would have to be insanely strong to do some of acrobatics and other stuff we picture them doing. Malz might be a bit muscular, but hey, everyone needs a hobby right...

ploki122Aug 18, 20144 votes

Let's make a summary of your posts up to now :

Somehow, there are only 2 male champions that could exist in real life, out of which one is semi-human.
Yasuo is too muscular to feel real. (NB. As a small huint, Snoopeh is much more fit than YAsuo, but I guess snoopeh is just a LoL persona, he must be slimmer irl... /sarcasm).
Lucian, aka the 4-pounders, is too broad of shoulder.
QQ I'm getting downvote for no reason.
First post that makes sense

So yeah, that's why you're getting downvoted... TherE's a difference between an unpopular opinion and a bad one. Saying that violence is good is an unpopular yet justifiable opinion, saying that someone being violated should feel happy that he's picked among others (and thus more popular) is a bad opinion.

Kid FreljordAug 18, 20147 votes

A bad opinion? Is there such a thing? Sure you can think an opinion is bad, but that's YOUR opinion.

You're also taking her posts out of context.

She means what you're realistically gonna find if you look around at the average guy. She's not saying being a perfect Adonis is impossible, just that it isn't something that might occur in real life.

When she mentions people who are too broad of shoulder, she doesn't mean in general, she means their shoulders are too broad for her tastes. As she said, she prefers more androgynous guys

P.S. Chill out, no need to get upset over someone's personal preferences

cshakesAug 18, 20144 votes

Thanks. :)

MrBuffingtonAug 16, 20143 votes

What about Urgot? ;P

ploki122Aug 16, 201416 votes

New Sona is better.

RiotmoonstonesAug 18, 20145 votes

I'm in the same boat on this one. :3

(I played Sona almost exclusively Season 3, and I have to say, I like playing her a whole lot more now.)

FlemmanAug 18, 20141 votes

and now we need a new less agressive support to go live (as pre rework sona was one of the better choice when your where on a streak of bad decision making to just relax while playing) :P

WynterfellAug 18, 20141 votes

Janna :)

ploki122Aug 18, 20142 votes

Nice, now we only need one that is even remotely on par with other supports.

TheCowSaysMooAug 22, 20142 votes

I love Janna as she is, if your good with her nobody can kill your adc Unless your tristana thinks your supposed to rocket jump into melee range of fed warwick

ploki122Aug 22, 20144 votes

Personaly, the fact that most of her effects are timed/indirect means that you have to put in a lot more effort to obtain little to nothing more than other supports. If you shield at the wrong time, or the person you're trying to shield us uncooperative/not on the same track, a lot of that power may very well be wasted. Additionally, its effect is bonus AD, which requires to be actually used.

Next, she has an haste/slow with minimal damages. Slow on a support, unless it'S a stupid 80% slow, really requires coordination to be able to get something good out of it.

Her ult is insane, but only if your teammates think about actually using it. Also, I feel that a great Janna ult simply doesn't feel as rewarding as a great Nami ult, or Morgana Ult (or like Amumu/Galio/etc.).

Lastly, her one true saving grace is her tornado, but then again the skill cap is insanely high, and it doesn'T feel much more oppresive than Leona's stuns or Thresh's Hook or Braum's Q+passive and other examples like that.

One of the things I would really love for Janna is to, at the very least, lower her mana ratios or promote good usage of ksils by refunding aman in certain circumstances. I also feel like her W feels pretty lackluster since that self-MS boost is seldom as useful as, let's say, Sona's AoE MS boost.

TheCowSaysMooAug 22, 20143 votes

Aggree because full Ap Sona With Dcap Lich Bane Void Staff can q auto

and the auto does 1500 bonus magic damage Sona RAISE YOUR POWER CHORDS Sona

RiotmoonstonesAug 22, 20147 votes

I... I have never heard that phrase. I will be using this every chance I can get. Thank you for this. <3

EapenatorAug 18, 20142 votes

I love how none of the new Sona haters are here

Sona's new kit was what she needed to revitalize her in this meta/season.

ShadowGlaive213Aug 22, 20144 votes

Nah, I assure you they're here. They are likely respecting this as a place for those of unpopular opinions to feel safe as I think the OP intended for it to be, or at least that's my view as someone who followed and strongly advocated against the Sona changes.

MyAccountYouGuysAug 16, 201411 votes

Runes shouldn't be in the game, or at least have their prices slashed so it isn't one and a half or all the way to 2 weeks of games for a champion and enough runes for said champion.

Ironclad DragonAug 16, 20146 votes

I'm lucky to get that much.

GwingMasterAug 18, 201411 votes

1.) Viktor is the most fun/rewarding AP mid character, and i'm not even good at him. Death Ray is one of coolest skills in the game - a skill shot for real men (or women).

2.) Battle Bunny Riven is the dumbest skin in the game - using it just ruins an otherwise really cool character.

3.) Shen's kit/playstyle makes absolutely no sense with a ninja paradigm - compared to the other ninjas, nothing about what he does except maybe the taunt have anything to do with being the "eye of twilight". His "Warlord Shen" skin is MUCH closer to representing the character his kit/play pattern actually implies.

cshakesAug 15, 20149 votes

No female champion should wear heels or be dressed revealingly.

PtarlorrAug 18, 20144 votes

Heels are stupid, I agree. Never got the appeal, and just overall impractical. Revealing outfits work for most champions that have them, though they could stand to be toned down a little. (Zyra, Evelynn, Shyvana, Nid)

exiledFromBadmenAug 18, 20143 votes

It's a theme, yes I'm in the same boat Evelynn Nidalee Shyvana Zyra And you forgot Elise

Linna ExcelAug 18, 20147 votes

I think Hurricane is actually a good item for ADCs under certain conditions
I like Essence Reaver in general, but I think the last buff kind of hurt it a little.
Soraka should have been reworked as a battlemage

exiledFromBadmenAug 18, 20143 votes

I think item 3085 is good for Caitlyn .

Linna ExcelAug 18, 20144 votes

Yes it works well with her passive. You can also put it and ER on Ashe for infinite AoE slows.

DecritAug 15, 20146 votes

Master Yi requires skill in order to play it at certain levels of game. I am saying this because at the beginning no one considers CC and focus so he is considered OP by the newbier players, but for higher elo players master yi can be a challenge to play in mid/late game since they need to flank the enemy team and avoid all possible focus and CC. All of this by having a skillset composed primarly by tools that does not favor feat of skills.

MrBuffingtonAug 15, 20146 votes

Lee Sin is balanced

I'm going to hide now

exiledFromBadmenAug 16, 20145 votes

Yes, he is.

Can I hide with you?

MrBuffingtonAug 16, 20146 votes

Just don't give away my hiding spot :P

thunderingiceAug 22, 20143 votes

Actually I am pretty sure he is underpowered now. His win rate way dropped after that nerf. I didn't realize the as debuff was that big a deal for his invade.

WorgslargAug 15, 20143 votes

Tristana, kogmaw, nidalee, and gnar are not broken.

They are strong, a bit too much, but not broken op.

Deep Terror NamiAug 15, 20141 votes

I think Dota 2's camera is way too close, as most skill shots go way off screen when camera is centered on your champion.

This wasn't just about LoL opinions, was it?

Ironclad DragonAug 15, 20143 votes

Just LoL opinions.

Deep Terror NamiAug 15, 20146 votes

Sounds like my opinion is unpopular with you. I win.

Ok, jokes over.

I think Blitzcranks Elongated High-Five/Brofist should have a wind up time, just like Thresh's Death Sentence. A Blitz getting ahold of you (especially if you're a squishy support) is usually far more dangerous than Thresh getting you, yet Blitz can do it easier anyway :(
