New female champion

Ellirra··4 votes·3,455 views

So there are all types of male champions in league of legends, from Malphite to Yorich to Darius and Ezreal. But, when you think about the female champions there are two base models that almost all of them come from. I'm doing an essay on female champions and their variety vs. male champions in League of Legends and I would love it if everyone would give me their opinion :) I just want to know what type of female champion you'd like to see. Although there are some that don't fit the generic mold, most come from the sexy woman or the cute girl(/yordle) family and I'd love to see some variety. Anivia and Rek'sai aside, there isn't a lot of difference in the appearance of the females apart from a couple animal traits to a still very sexy female. Nothing saying that they can't be attractive but what about changing up the model a bit?

Have you read the "Shadow and Fortune" story? The next champ is Illoai, the priestess

gimme a lesbian/bi champ thnx

i also think a larger female champ would be cool, but it's pretty likely that they'd just be turned into a joke like gragas...

i also kinda wanna see a...disfigured female champ. that might sound a bit sketchy, but i just want a female champ that isn't pretty. i get they tried to do that with kalista, but i think she's still fairly attractive.

maybe she could have a massive scar on her face that isn't strategically placed so that she still looks nice? maybe she could have missing limbs like gp? idk

i'm just tired of pretty champs tbh, which seems pretty trivial compared to the gameplay aspects of a champion, but w/e

I got this one female zombie-ish character with a mismatched larger right hand, but Im still trying to figure out a good skill set other than a full AS + sustain-on-hit kit

I'd like an older character, say, mid-40s (think grizzled veteran), as well as an elder character in her 60s+ (think crone/witch).

Body types? I'd like to see an imposing, muscular character. Let's face it, Leona isn't that at all despite claims to the contrary.

We definitely need more non-humanoid female creatures/monsters too.

I think having an imperfect zombie female would be an interesting route to choose, make her less serious and more just overall funny. [slayer-jinx-catface]

I don't really see the problem here? Anything wrong with good-looking champs? Ahri

Ellirra1 votes

Not at all. There's also no problem with having different bodies and faces for females. Girls, just like guys, come in all different shapes and sizes and can be attractive without the same generic model being copy and pasted.

Kalista is skinnier and more muscular, jinx is stick thin and more flat chested, kayle is covered in armor, annie is a kid, reksai isn't human, lamb is a sheep, shyvana seems a bit muscular (she has curves but theres muscle on her, she's a dragon so she's gotta be strong), poppy isn't really a 'cute' yordle unless you think lollipoppy is cute...

There's still some variety here. I don't mind any of the female champs, however some of the anatomy in some of the splashes is pretty bad. Morgana is so skinny around the waist her organs would suffer for example.

Also if you look at some of the male champs, almost all of them are strong, muscular, and 'handsome', yet nobody brings that up? There's still variety with the males too but a large portion of them are muscular and have abs and such.

Also Illaoi is coming out before the year ends and will most likely be female

I totally agree that a good amount of male champions are strong, muscular and attractive in some degree. This is for an essay I'm going to be doing for my university course. My main objective is the comparison because there is a greater degree of variety in types of male champions. Not to say that there isn't in the females, just not at much. I'd love to see Riot experiment more :) Illaoi, as I hear it, is a sexy female priestess

Oh cool.

I don't actually think there's THAT much of a difference in variety of champs. It's like equal, with some more stuff applying to gender-bias (such as sona, she's playing a harp, a guy would never play a harp, but guitar and then there's morde I think lol).

But if you think about it, there's male ninjas, female ninjas, male warriors, female warriors, male void creatures, female void creatures, male tricksters, female tricksters, etc. For the essay, the best thing would probably what only applies to gender bias and even so thats hard as well. You'd think maybe a pirate but nope, there's a female pirate. Maybe a soldier? There's Panth whos a roman soldier of sorts, but then there's fiora, who was a....guard or duelist or something similar to panth. She fought against people for her family's honor if I remember.

Yeah...you're gonna have a bit of a tough time lol.

Also, Illaoi was specifically mentioned in the lore as a priestess, not a pirate. Just sayin.

Skelenth2 votes

Blitzcrank sure is handsome. Also, this discussion is most about humans, well, at least Charyzard probably ment humans, so more than half of the champions you just pointed out fall off, except for those you described as muscular or handsome. I see a pattern here. Then we have those who are humans, but you can't see them. Shen for example.

Ellirra2 votes

Except look at that difference in variety of males vs females. There is a ton of variety in those that are vs. aren't human. Not overly so in females. (not saying that there are no females that aren't human, just not as many)

Çhåryzård1 votes

he somehow forgot the most important muscular and handsome champ of all

Draven

Çhåryzård2 votes

galio has muscle on him, so does kassadin, mord too, and shen.

I'd say Vlad has some handsome in him, he's good looking.

You forgot Yasuo, Varus, Aatrox, Brand, idk HOW you forgot Draven, Ezreal, Graves, Lucian, Ryze, Talon, i guess Taric may be considered good looking however he does have old splash are so there isnt that much detail in his face but he is well built, Twisted Fate, Udyr is pretty well built, Xin Zhao, Ekko, Alistar is well built and so is Malph, Malz looks like he's good looking under the scarf, Sion is huge, Zac is well built for a blob, and I may be missing others.

Point is you conveniently left a lot of champions out. I'm not saying they are all well built and handsome, but a common theme with the humans/more humanoid male champs is that they are either good looking or well built and appear very strong or powerful. Obviously I'm not counting non-humanoid champions, just like when you are comparing the females you wouldnt count non-humanoids.

Do some of the females need work? Yes definitely. Poor morg is breaking her back and her organs are suffering. Some of the anatomy is off in some of the pictures and I do think some of the outfits for skins are a bit over the top (police Cait for example). However, people ignore that it's the same way for a good amount of male champions too. It's not a female only thing. Just mentioning that.

Also how the hell do you forget DRAVEN?!

Ellirra1 votes

Genuinely curious, what make champion skins/general would you say is over the top sexualized in a manner similar to something like officer cait?

Çhåryzård1 votes

I said officer cait because she is supposed to be dressed up like a police officer and instead it sorta looks like one of those really sexualized halloween costumes for women imo. She's wearing a very short skirt and a cropped top and idk, I feel like that wasn't necessary. Vi's is better however her boobs would most certainly fall out of that top.

Morgana's top would not be able to stay up without straps over the shoulders and she is VERY skinny around the waist, especially in her ghost bride skin. Her blackthorn skin is better with this but her waist is still pretty skinny overall, like she wore extreme corsets and squeezed her waist so it was extremely thin (which is actually pretty unhealthy for your organs).

Evelynn is pretty bad but her artwork could use an update (her shadow evelynn skin is the one that's the worst). Nothing is supporting her top so her boobs would definitely fall out. Also she has spikes on her pants things so I think it'd be hard to sit in certain places lol.

Mercenary Kat's top wouldn't really cover enough of her boobs so there'd be some slippage there.

I feel like with sorceress lux they really didn't need to give her the shortened top and short skirt, idk I feel like that wasn't really something that had to be done.

Miss Fortune's top would definitely not support her boobs and I absolutely hate her clothes. She's supposed to be a bounty hunter/pirate and again she looks like she's dressed up on Halloween in one of those 'sexy' women's costumes. Her cowgirl skin is a mess, for some reason there's a random cutout in the front of her pants that's covered in the middle by her belt. The rest of her skins except for captain really like the cropped top idea. I REALLY like her captain fortune skin though, I feel like that is her best skin. It looks nice and also kinda badass.

Nidalee while her outfit shows a lot of skin, it makes sense. She lives in the jungle and would make her own clothes. Her french maid skin picture needs an update because the skin doesnt look like that anymore.

I question why battle bunny riven is a skin. It doesn't really bother me, but I wonder why they decided to make it.

I don't understand why darkflame shyvana's chest is randomly open in the front. Like, she's wearing all this armor and then the front is open to show cleavage. All it takes is an arrow or spear or sword to the chest and she's dead. There wasn't really a need for that.

Soraka's dress is very close to showing her butt

I don't mind some cleavage on a female champ or a bikini or whatever, but like, I feel like some of the skins or things on a champ are unnecessary. Some things I just question why, like, there's no need for it. I really like to draw and I'm one of those people where if I see something off in the anatomy of whatever I'm drawing I'll like, stress out lol. So when I see anatomy problems in a splash art it bothers me a bit. Like Morg's really thin waist that would really hurt her insides. Varus actually has a problem with his back where they painted too much so it looks like he has a hunchback. And then officer cait's leg is bent slightly so it looks like its broken.

A good amount of splashes still need to be redone too though

Also it seems like riot needs a bit of a lesson on breasts. There is weight to breasts and the bigger the boobs the more support they need. So if you got a medium-big size set of boobs, straps on your bra are a good thing to have. Gotta have some supporting there. Also I'd say that the (I really hate this word and im like, cringing right now lol) nipples on a boob are around the center. Some of the female champs tops actually cover up to half or even a bit below half of the breast, meaning, the champion would have a nip slip, especially if they are fighting and running around.

Stuff like that bothers me. Some people may disagree with me on some or all of this but i've felt this way about some of the champions/skins for a long time and i've never actually ranted about it to anyone on the boards lol. I feel like a lot of people will hate me for this but whatever I guess.

Ellirra1 votes

I fully agree with you :) Even if a champ isn't seen as particularly sexy or sexualized (I love Kindred but why does a lamb need (huge) hips and breasts? seriously) they almost all have at least one skin that just makes me smh, espcially considering that you can have a champion that isn't supposed to be/not trying to be sexual but then they are in clothes or positioned sexually.

Çhåryzård1 votes

Yea, some of the skins and such are kinda unnecessary. Some of them I question why they are like that (cough OFFICER CAIT ). I don't really mind if they make a character look a bit sexy or muscular or pretty, etc. It's a game, the art is realistic but there's also a bit of cartoon style in it. But when they start doing unnecessary things that make me ask "why" , or when the anatomy is waaaaay off, that's when it bothers me.

Like did the police officer outfit really need a cropped top and very short skirt?

Did we really need to make Morg's waist THAT skinny?

Well, galio is a rock, morde is living armor.

P.s. i didn't forgot Draven, but he have rape-stashes, so that can't be classified as handsome :D

Çhåryzård1 votes

Draven hey what do you mean 'rape stashes'

therealdragon2 votes

A rock is a male? ok

And personally, I don't think that there should be another female champ of any specific thing. There are literally so many different kinds of champs and yet, even though we have them, both male and female, all the feminists and feminazis and all of them, they're all gonna be like "Now that we have X, can we get Y?"

Take this post for example. We're legit GETTING A NEW FEMALE CHAMP THATS PRETTY MUCH WHAT U WANTED. Illaoi, a priestess that is prob not gonna be sexy. Besides her we have Poppy, Rek'sai, annie, Cassiopeia, and the list goes on. Actually, imma list the entire damn list that isn't classified as 'sexy'.

Anivia Annie Cassiopeia Diana Fiora Irelia Jinx KalistaKarma Kayle Kindred Leona Lissandra Lulu Lux Nami Nidalee Orianna Poppy Quinn RekSai Sejuani Shyvana Soraka Syndra Tristana Vayne

and possibly Vi as well. Hard to tell with all the armor.

But there ya have it. Females of all types and here everyone still is complaining that we don't have diversity in female champions.

So do I want them to come out with another female champ that....actually your post says "changing up the model a bit". If you look at this list, and tell me there is no change really, then clearly you haven't played league a long time.

TL;DR: We've got female diversity already. We don't need more because one person (or an entire feminist base) thinks they're all sexy meanwhile in reality, over half of them don't follow the same model.

edit: Does fizz count as a male or female???

Ellirra1 votes

Thank you for your opinion, it definitely helps :) I'm not trying to go feminist or "feminazi" or anything. Personally, I do think that some of the champions you've pointed out are definitely sexy or at least beautiful, especially in many of their skins. And some that aren't sexy are definitely cute. And some that weren't necessarily the most beautiful, like old soraka (I've played since season 2 btw), were updated to be more beautiful/sexy/cute. I'm not trying to suggest that there is no variety with female champions, just not as much as with the male champions, in my opinion.

ps. i think that fizz is either neutral or more on the male side.

true some are beautiful in some way. But I was pointing to those females that weren't obviously sexualized by riot lol. I think I forgot Akali now that I think about it.

The ones that ARE sexualized are the following (or are basically just eye candy): Ahri (new dawn cinematic op lol) Elise Evelynn Katarina Leblanc Morgana Nidalee Sona (sona's a big one lol)MissFortune (biggest eye candies of them all xD)

Then you have the ones that are sexy without being meant to be sexy: Ashe Caitlyn Janna Sivir (dat snowstorm skin doe) Syndra

And then the genderless where you're going what the fuck are these guy's genders: Alistar (could be female ;D)Bard Fiddlesticks Fizz Gnar (this one actually fits this category better)Teemo (never thought about this guy till now but who knows)

I think the only reason there's a bit more diversity with male champs than female, is because when riot started out, they had mostly male champs and a lot of ideas for these champs. Besides the starting point tho, they've started pumping out more diverse champs. Unfortunately, because of this starting point, I don't think riot's ever gonna have more diversity with female champs than males.

Ellirra2 votes

I think that some (like Janna) are meant to be sexy (her quotes, pole dance, appearance, etc) and I think that the outfits play a big role too just like how some might say that soraka isn't super sexy (I personally think she is cute and pretty) but look at the clothes in both general and skins and many females become more sexualized. The side boob, short skirts, amount of cleavage, etc. Even old soraka wasn't a great looking champion but her outfit was very revealing in how much and how it covered her body

The Lone Crusade2 votes

I feel although many of the female characters are unrealistic for several reasons. Most fall under at least one of the following categories.

1-they are unnaturally shaped so as to be "sexy". 2-even the armor clad ones have "formed" armor that causes certain areas to standout. 3-even non mammal characters seem to be large busted. 4-and, even if they are not phisically agrovating the clothing is impractical and agrovating.

Now a few characters such as Diana have realistic classic skins, however they also have an available skin to make them "sexy". Then there are male characters like Nasus or Warwick, why are there not female characters with the same "humanoid" theme instead of human looking. In addition many of the female characters do not boast scars or battle injuries, even the warriors. So in conclusion, I feel they do mostly consist of the same general appearance and there should be more "beast like" female champions or more realistic females at least.

Ps. I am a boy and NOT a sexist.

Ellirra1 votes

Thanks for your input :) I totally agree. I don't understand why almost every female champion needs to be classically sexy or in a sexy skin. Even champs people don't see as sexy have skins/clothes that are revealing to an unnecessary degree.

Ps. I don't think that just because someone is male that they're sexist :P

Annie , though not sexy, is a cute little girl. And I don't mean to say that ALL fall under that umbrella, just many if not most. And there is less variety than in the males.

Skelenth1 votes

How can you call the spawn of hell itself "cute"? Even the thought burns in my throat like the flames of the deepest pits of hell, where she probably was created by the most unnatural and inhuman thing, ever known to mankind, called Teemo, together with all the other hideous creatures like Vayne or the old Fiora.

Now, just to be sure: Do you want more variety in female champions, or in female humanoid champions? I assume second, since you "complained" about the sexyfieing and lack of variety in the female champion pool. You are right, if you leave out all the none-humanoid champions, nearly all the the champions have the same proportions. But: the male side just divides between about three body structures too: "Bulky": Darius, Garen, Jax, Udyr, Mundo, Sion "Average": Aatrox, Jayce, Yasuo, Talon, Lee Sin And "Slim": Twisted Fate, Singed, Ekko, Ezreal, Master Yi Well this is still more than female, but it is not as extreme as you describe. They may have some similar proportions, exceptions are Jinx if you ask me, but most female champions still get "Bulky" or similar by accessoires. (Yes, Bristle is an accessoire. Deal with it.)

P.S.: Xerath at least was male once and Viktor too and he is in male section.

Ellirra1 votes

A bit of both, since my essay is just in the beginning phases. I'm generally looking at the variety just from the genders to start as there are much more in the male variety that are not humans and are different races and such while less so for females. Then, when you get more into it for the humanoids, though there are categories, they are much more obvious and defined for females as more cute vs sexy/attractive where for the males there is fat then bulky(fit) then the general average and then the slim, but there are all different body types for the champions that fall into those sections but there are less body types for the females.

Btw, if this IS for an essay, why'd you ask in the OP to just change up the model and skew away from the sexyness path (even though they already have)? In the OP, you're saying that we've seen all types of champs but how about we get a new female champ that isn't sexy. This is when everyone points out Illaoi.

Like if this IS for an essay, I don't see why in the OP, you're actually asking for a new female champ.

Ellirra2 votes

I'm not asking for a new female champ, I'm asking to see what the community is attracted to. If they are interested in more variety or just the same sexy or cute model that has been largely used. I'm sorry if my phrasing hasn't been the best. I've also been asking though personal contacts, fb, and other means this is just another way I'm trying to broaden the opinions of the community I'm gathering. It was suggested to me by some people that so many fall under the same model because it easily sells and is what people want (perfect sexy women champs) and I want to see how true that is as I love league and the female champs but personally would love a warrior woman with broad shoulders and more Amazonian build or a female zombie or a funny black chick or crazy old woman or something like that since we see those in the male champions of league already.

It's actually been true but not true for league lol.

Sex sells. Thats pretty much a fact now and league has used it as well. However, league has also updated a lot of their splashes and with a lot of new released female champs, they've strived away a bit from the role of huge boob champs (see mf). Instead, they've gone towards more badass female characters that want to inflict damage in some way whether it be revenge (ironically, see mf again, or kalista), or towards animal champs that are more instinct RekSai Kindred .

So they started out with "ooh la la sexy females". But then they strived towards "if you touch me or betray me, you die".

Use that as you will :)

Illaoi, the next champ, was featured in the recent Shadow & Fortune Harrowing story- She is the high priestess of Nagakabouros (The Bearded Lady) of Bilgewater- She's described as a "giant of a woman" (and holds a sort of totemic stone orb in her hands).

Most of LOL players are extremely stupid. You have to keep that in mind. They beg for sexy champions, but when they god a sexy champion they all rage and hate it, because it is sexy. Now they beg for non-sexy champion, but they will rage and hate non-sexy champions. That is called hypocrisy and this word perfectly describes 90% of LOL players.
