We need to stop asking for an "unattractive" female champion and this is why

Desiderium·Oct 13, 2015·222 votes·14,195 views

Riot was going down the right path when they made Reksai. They wanted to make a champion that is technically female, even though it could easily be retconned to a male with literally no effort, to pander to the people who think that every woman in League is an hourglass with tits.

They just didn't want to do it in a way that would disgust people (like a witch or a hag, etc.)

They made a female creature, not a woman that feels bad about looking in the mirror. Because no woman should have to feel that way, and Riot knows that.

So just fucking stop asking for an "ugly" female champion already. You have no clue what you're trying to do. You've already gotten what you want with Reksai, and even more.

So just stop.

Is this a translation of youthful innocence to depraved sexual deviant?

Or simply being alive and becoming a withered husk after a solid week of sex/fapping/having your soul sucked out your face

I'm not sure if you were making a joke, but I tossed in the reference just to be safe.

The seasoning just doesn't sink in appropriately if you don't marinade and cook it.

Poppy Anivia Cassiopeia RekSai Annie Lulu not all female champs are hourglass either...

actually Cassiopeia is all hourglass.

Hourglass on a pillar instead of hourglass on stilts, but still hourglass.

but those are conveniently irrelevant when it comes to the "we need a not sexy female" crowd, because they're either not human or a little girl... which is stupid, cuz if you're trying to make a "we need a not sexy female" argument, you need to include EVERY FEMALE IN THE GAME not just the ones that are convenient to your argument...

Edit: also i would personally include Tristana in there, since she's closer to Lulu and Annie than all the "sexy females" in the game imo (of course that's more based on perspective i suppose... since her outfit is a little questionable)

No one is asking for an ugly female, just more different ones.

Neither an old witch, nor a big mama type are ugly by default (if you think they are you got issues)

edit: An example of an old witch that is not done ugly: http://img02.deviantart.net/68f1/i/2015/075/7/e/old_witch_by_dina_tukhvatulina-d8lyvlx.png

A Big Mama kinda character can be done, with no uproar at all.

You know you're doing it wrong when BLIZZARD is doing it right.

One of her skins turns her into an ORC, and no one is outraged by it, it's cool, we like it, not all females have to be hourglass pretties, and no one is shaming Ms Hammer.

Soraka was an old witch wich is why she used to be my main in S1, then riot fucked her up and made her into a "avatar character" and i refunded her and all skins.

Yes, because everyone loves the way Urgot looks.

100% on the ball OP, lord knows they release a female champ that looks like Urgot and then everyone whines "SHE LOOKS FUCKING HIDEOUS WTF RIOT."

Of course, that would further validate me for calling out the hypocrisy on the boards, so by all means Rito, have at it!

I still want my "old cranky witch" champion tho. Ya know, some badass old lady that just gives zero fucks. She could be a friend of lulu, as the witch theme is really good with polymorphs...

SaltyToplaneGoatOct 13, 201512 votes

Nono, they are sorceresses, highly skilled magic users bound to an element or raw enegry.

When talking about a witch imagine an old lady that doesn't look like anything special, just your nice neighboorhood granny that's a bit weird sometimes because she speaks with animals and knows literally every name of a weed growing in her backyard and what it's good for.

Magic often includes transformations and generally screwing around with the rules of nature instead of raw power or mixing weird potions that have the most fascinating yet weird effects.

She's so old she's not impressed by anything.

"Oh you have immense power and unlimited potential? I DON'T CARE, NO FLOATING IN MY HOME! Or I'll turn you into a toad..."

It's just pure sexism that there only a male shirtless bundle. If Riot wants total gender equality, there should be a female shirtless bundle too.

SidewayzzOct 13, 201515 votes

I agree. True feminism is the belief that all women are equal to all men. That means ugly women and sexy af women are equal. But thrashing on beautiful characters is not promoting equality.

Im sorry but I don't understand why it is an issue that fighters are fit. Asking for a female akin to the female barbarian in d3 is unrealistic because it is biologically difficult for women to achieve that physique. It is more unrealistic to be asking for that sort of thing than to have all the women in the game have the typical physique of a fit woman.

I understand some are over-sexualized but if a girl is sexy and is aware of it, they tend to flaunt it. There are plenty of unsexualized females.

There is a line that is being blurred between having an hourglass figure, which happens to being biologically natural for women with little to no fat, and being sexualized. An example is kayle, Kayle is a warrior, she isnt going to have a ton of fat on her. So yea, naturally her figure is going to rely on her bone structure, which happens to look like an hourglass in women. Have you even researched why women tend to have an hourglass figure? It is natural. Quit bitching just because you want what you dont have.

You don't see us skinny men complaining about all the warrior's having 6 packs and being unrealistically beefy, I'm lookin' at you Garen

PaladinNOOct 13, 201510 votes

If Rek'Sai saw herself in a mirror, she'd smash it to get rid of the competition, trespassing on her territory... Sorry, couldn't resist. :)

Why does it matter how the women looks in LoL anyway? I mean, this is just a game, isn't it? It's not like anyone could hit on any of them even if they wanted to. And even if someone could, they'd probably just get their asses kicked - except with Ahri: with her, they'd get a very good time, before being very dead.

No one's asking for an ugly champion. People are asking for variety, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting female champions that stray away from the ideal hourglass figure that we've seen over and over and over again. Seeing the same cookie cutter body shape for women does get stale after awhile, and that's one of the reasons as to why Rek'sai is a very good example of Riot becoming creative with their designs. But why do we have to stop there?

AIIanOct 13, 201511 votes

They were doing bulky female before it was cool. Diana Riven (Yeah, she's quite muscular) Leona Also, one thing to take into account is that women tend to naturally have an "hourglass" body. Because of, you know, birthing, things like that. Overly muscled women that look like cubes are high on steroids and hormones. Look at the Olympic Games and you'll see that even at professional level, women still have a curved body.

LeeDarkOct 14, 20155 votes

You're kidding, right? Take out all the non-human champs and you take out all the variety. Do the same to the men, and you still have a metric fuckton of variety. Leona and Kayle still fit the bill. Underneath all that armor, as the skins have shown, they have the same figure as every single other human woman in the game, with a slider for breast size. Men, on the other hand, run from Ezreal to Gragas in weight and size, and Ekko to Zilean in visible age.

You'd have to be fucking stupid not to be able to see that.

People asking for ugly/unfit women are literally just sjw's.

I mean you people do realize that a landwhale would not be able to compete in the league of legends.... correct?

Edit: I mean is it really so far fetched to assume that a women whom is considered a legend on the battlefield would have a fit body?

None of the females in League are fit.

They're thin with two inch waists and noodle arms. By build alone, I could snap Sejuani and Leona in half, with my bare hands.

Also, it's weird that you don't seem to give a fuck that Gragas, Sion, and Urgot are fatasses, or that Zilean is a decrepit old man.

Be a little less stupid tbh.

Sion hasn't been a fatass as since his update and Zilean is very fit for a man his age!

Nah, look at his model on Lolking, Sion is still fat. It's not as easy to notice as it is with Gragas, but he's pretty rotund.

Auz the RipperOct 13, 201512 votes

There is a very big difference between stout and fat Sion is stout Gragas is fat ....and probably stout too but that's not the point

Would you this call this guy fat?

My favorite feminine champ is Quinn. Classic skin. Dunno why. Who said male players only like woman with huge breasts ?

Remlap1223Oct 13, 201511 votes

I agree, I think Quinn is very pretty. Of course I'm a sucker for girls with brown hair and hazel eyes.

Her boobs aren't even that small though. They're very average.

You wan't a human girl besides Annie that's flat chested? Look no further than Jinx. Not into crazy albinos? Riven's very average too. Have an irrational hatred of Riven because you're on the boards? Irelia.
