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

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.

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

But according to feminazis RekSai Doesnt count, because shes a monster.

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...

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.

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

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?

Jinx is disgusting. Pale with a flat chest. Even her personality is ugly. So people are actually asking for a 2nd ugly female champ.

That's all I had to say.
