I really don't like Vi's new skin. Vi's never showed much skin before, and to me it seemed a matter of function over form. But this new skin... it really cheapens Vi's character for sexual appeal. I always liked Vi as the character to keep her clothes on. But that shirt looks more like a cut-up corset then a top, and I'm honestly kind of mad that Vi's Halloween costume is slutty cop. It cheapens the character, and don't say you can cheapen the character for the skin - we all knew how well that went over with Lucian.

Now I don't me to be hostile or anything, but I'm a huge fan of Vi's character & gameplay, and I've already bought Neon Strike Vi, I think she's one of few characters I would consider buying a second skin for - but this skin is not Vi. It's ugly & crude - and looks more like an Evony ad then a good skin.

Evony lol haven't seen an ad for that in ages (All hail AD-Blocker Plus).

While I do agree that Vi is more of a 'tom-boyish' female and it is out of the ordinary for her to show some skin, this skin isn't as exposed as it could have been. Take Officer Caitlyn into account. She is wearing a small (really small) top, a leather bra, and a mini-skirt. Comparatively Vi might as well be fully clothed.

I don't think it is Riot trying to make Vi appear more 'slutty' as you say, it is them staying in line with the Officer skins (the only one that exists right now) and making sure to keep it in line with Vi at the same time (hence she has pants!). I think if they didn't expose some skin with the Officer Vi skin that it just wouldn't match.

Plus what if Vi and Caitlyn are secretly undercover in the Officer skins and they are going to a club (Police theme night) in Piltover to bust some dude. At least stereotypically more skin will get you into the club faster than no skin, and you have to do what you need to do to complete the mission.
