When are we getting a new female support?

Clementine··6 votes·528 views

Sorry to sound like the typical eGirl support main, but the last female support we got was Nami in 2012. The last 5 supports have all been guys (Rakan, Bard, Tahmmy Pickles, Braum, and Thresh).

I wouldn't call Bard male. After all he doesn't have human characteristics and not even a male voice,so he is pretty genderless(and just referred to as a "he" because "it" is only used for objects)

Anyway,the reason for the lack of new female supports is likely because the support class was in the past almost exclusively made of female champs,so Riot likely wanted to introduce some more male supports to even it out.

"he" is not the default human pronoun :/

Then what is? If you have a character who is neither male or female,then that character is usually referred to as he(unless that character looks and sounds distinctly female)

Look at bastion from Overwatch for example. bastion is a robot who looks neither male nor female and who makes beep sounds,but everyone refers to bastion as a "he",simply because no one wants to call a character an "it"

I can now confirm that Rakan is male. I don't think Xayah is a lesbian.

Taric was Mascline and has sence changed for the sake of a meme.

In fact, as of the release of Rakan there are now more male (true) supports than female (according to client tags, and discounting Nunu and Ivern, neither of which are often played in the traditional bot lane support role). This holds true even if you add in the off-supports, Blitzcrank, Morgana and Zyra. Not sure what to think about this.

We need more female junglers to match the influx of male supports

Kayn could have easily been a female ( doesn't even need a name change)

Raast possession could have looked like female diablo
