In Regards to Riot's Female Champions

Ghazter·4/24/2018, 6:17:43 PM·1 votes·2,006 views

I want to start off by saying that by no means am I against Riot creating female characters with overly hot bodies; that's just good business. However, I would like to ask everyone at Riot to rethink some of their work going forward, most notably the new-ish Evelynn rework. She's now this sexually based slut with voice lines no one under the age of 35 should be hearing, and a model that's essentially naked (not to mention splash art). This isn't my only annoyance, there are other champions or skins that do similar, but no champion gets even close to Evelynn. I would like to request that Riot tones her down a bit and doesn't keep creating champions like her; keep sexual references out of your videogame. Children play this.

Again I'm going to reinforce my position that I'm not against female champions having hyped appearances, but really, Evelynn was too much. Keep adding champs like Miss Fortune or Kai'Sa, by all means, but keep sexual champs like Evelynn out of it.\

I'm open to questions/comments about this, I know that I'm only human and I could be missing something, or maybe you just have something to add. I'd love to hear it.

Edit: Saw some other posts about this same thing, and yes, I have red her lore/bio. I don't think her in-game persona needs to be this extreme to fit with her lore. Plus, there's also the fact that there are a lot of other champs with lore extremes that don't fit with their gameplay, so I don't think that's a viable issue. I'm not asking to take away everything she is, but just to maybe give her some clothes (at least a bigger bikini and maybe a miniskirt or something) and delete/replace some of her more controversial voicelines.

No one under the age of 35 should be hearing these lines?

Really now?

You think that in order to be old enough to hear Eve's lines, you have to be a part of the age group that Viagra is marketed towards?

What are you, some 18th century puritan?

But...she is a succubus?

Seems like you've gotten a good bit of feedback here.

In the future, Story, Art, & Sound is for discussing League content, or the direction of League content. This area is more for stuff you've made.

So....Whats the problem again? ;)

But no to take your opinion seriously i do think evelynn is a bit too much haughty lol. Though, the character / demon of eveylnn is supposed to be this way. But League's ESRB Rating is 'Teen'. and I think teens are already exposed to this kind of material regardless, (i mean look at today's music or how people in highschool / college act) so it's really up to the parents to deal with that.

It's all implications and innuendos, nothing is directly shown or stated. So it is fine, even for 12 year old children.

And it is actually important for her character concept. She is a predator demon luring in her prey with her appearance and the promises of a fun time, just to kill and eat them. Her not making these quotes and looking like that would be highly illogical.

This is not going to harm any 12 yo, it is actually kinda funny that you fear that. Where I live, we have 12 yo children already watching actual porn on their mobile phones.

That's meant to be her thing. Evelynn uses her looks to seduce people and then tortures them and sustains herself on their pain and suffering. She's basically a succubus without the sex.

keep sexual references out of your videogame. Children play this.

League is rated T. As in 13+. Mild/moderate innuendo/sexual references are allowed in T rated games. Hell, Uncharted is rated T and is chock full of violence, profanity, and innuendo.

Eve is a succubis, that is her theme and she represents it perfectly. Additionally, the game is rated Teen and Eve's voice lines and appearance are in line with that rating.

Yes, evelynn is a succubus. Or in modern terms a demonic thot. So it's appropriate for her character :)

She is leagues succubus and lust demon representative, it wouldn't make sense to tone down aspects of her character. Also your worries are kinda unnecessary, if there already is one definite lust demon riot won't need to add a similiar champion in the future.

Champions where lore and gameplay/visuals clash are usually amongst the older rooster and reworks and new champions usually aim to make appearence, lore and gameplay one cohesive whole.

She is a fucking demon of lust. Being sexual is kind of the point.

Lightning I4/24/2018, 6:24:51 PM2 votes

She's actually naked when invisible.

Also, ever heard of a succubus?

Yeah I agree mostly with you, that female champions should be clothed appropriately/look the part. That being said it is reasonable to expect mostly all of the female champions to be fit, and therefore more attractive to the masses, and therefore seen as more sexual.

Also a few of the males are under dressed. Varus, Kayn, Aatrox, Braum, Olaf, Tryndamere, Yasuo, Rakan, Taric, if you wanted to count mundo... and worst of all Blitzcrank

Isn’t she meant to be the succubus archetype though? I feel like out of anyone she should be the most sexual, and yes I’d go so far as to say hyper sexual that’s kind of a succubus’ whole deal. And honestly I’d agree with you if it weren’t for the fact that her malicious intent shines through with a lot of her quotes. “Hearing them scream” “almost there” and other quotes are usually double sided ad both inuendo and the torment she feeds off of her victims.

My biggest complaint is how stupid Poppy acts in the game. Pretty much the stereotype of the good side being dumb and the bad side being smart.
