Modest Clothing for female champions (Settings option or IP point skin)

MightyCaesar37·Sep 23, 2015·6 votes·2,269 views

I feel that a good feature for the game would be for in the settings have an options to have all of the champions wear modest clothing (similar to the hide eye candy option.) Failing that a implementation of a alternate default skin for all champions (particulary for female champions such as or ) that would cost either IP or be free. I would think that this might bring many players who want to play but feel bad about playing with immodestly dressed champions or those with parents who don't let their teenagers play games where women are dressed is such ways.

Does anyone else feel the same way or have better Ideas for how to help with this issue.

League of Legends is rated T for teen

Would you want your young teenager seeing things?

They are not naked. They would see the same on any beach.

HAHAHA ITS SOO TRUE!

(Taken from a movie I saw, I think it was grown ups)

Adam sandler: Hey why are you swimming in your bra and underwear? Go get a bathing suit on!

Girl: Whats the difference?!

they could add something around these lines. make it player side, like when people use "custom" skins only they see that skin while everyone in game see the normal skin.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20152 votes

Exactly!

HentRexSep 23, 20151 votes

Is it worth the effort for riot to do this? No it's really not. The amount of people affected by this would be minimal at best. Would it be cool? Absolutely.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20152 votes

True it would take some effort but compared to creating a new champion or new animation set this is really quite simple.

DrCyanideSep 23, 20152 votes

Actually... no, it's far more complex than the effort required to make a new champion.

League's code is already designed around adding new champions. It's not designed around adding user customization. It took nearly 3 years to update the client so that Ward Skins could be selected before the game in a similar manner to Champion Skins. We still can't re-order rune or mastery pages.

In general, the most awkward part of the immodesty is the splash art. You don't notice what your champion is wearing (or not wearing) as much in game. The "fix it for me" solution is to replace all the offending splash arts in your local files.

pssst! Let me tell you a secret! If they have acces to the internet they've already seen things

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

I know but do you want them to think its ok to look and disrespect. If they are using the internet behind their parents back they know that by the very reason that they hide what they do it is wrong while allowing it makes them feel that it is ok for them to do such things.

Exploring these kind of things at their teen years is only natural... Do you want your kids to live in a whole other reality? Sex is out there, hell it's the reason we live. They know about it from school already. It's nothing new to them. Get over it.

Implying teenagers don't see much much worse

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

I am implying that teenagers do see, but don't always understand just the same as any adult.

Rustling BushSep 23, 20151 votes

Please enlightened me as to what they need to understand? What the difference between boy and girl parts? Why I feel funny down their? Cause by 12-13, most pre-teens can understand that much. And even if some kids has some different interpretation "like omg bewbs" who are you to try and shield them from every slightly obscene thing

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20153 votes

True but the fact of the matter is that a man's bare chest is something that has never been truly frowned upon or considered 'provocative' or as presenting a man as and object not a person.

SwollwonderSep 23, 20151 votes

You're assuming women are being objectified simply by what they wear. It could easily be the same with men. All a matter of perspective.

Baseball3bSep 23, 20152 votes

If you honestly think that the vast majority of female champions are immodestly dressed in this game, you clearly haven't played many other games.

And honestly the last thing this game needs are kids that whose parents won't let them play games because of the way pixels are dressed.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

Where did I say anything about all of the female champions being badly dressed, and really what would be wrong with a feature like this?

Baseball3bSep 23, 20151 votes

it isn't the idea itself I'm not a fan of, it's the people and players it would attract.

There's already enough fully grown adults acting like 5 year olds in games, the last thing I need are actual 5 year olds in games.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

No 5 year old should play games like this but no-one who already struggles with sexuality should have to deal with added temptation from one of their favorite games.

Baseball3bSep 23, 20151 votes

Of course I'm exaggerating on the 5 year old part, but my point still stands.

I don't know what goes through peoples' heads and quite frankly it doesn't involve me. If a video game influences someone to that degree, then there's a whole different issue at hand. Like I said, it isn't the idea itself I'm not a fan of, but from where I stand, the cons vastly outweigh the positives.

StealthWardenSep 23, 20152 votes

i have an idea. Tell your child "NO" and have them play age appropriate games. The parental guidance part of the ratings is actually just to serve as a reference guide to parents to help them do their job. Its not on riot to make these decisions, or fix it. The game wasnt designed with elementary aged children in mind (obviously or we wouldnt have this thread) it was meant for teen + and it is no less appropriate than any other T for teen game or pg13 movie....or jcpenny catalog Shaco

TL;DR Dont be lazy, be a parent. nuff said

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20152 votes

Good point about the game being not designed with elementary aged children and I have edited the post subsequently, but what would be the problem with this type of feature?

Chaotic SageSep 23, 20151 votes

There isn't a problem with the feature so much as there's little to no chance of it actually happening. Gotta look at it from Riot's perspective first. What would be their gain from it? Are they going to be able to charge money for these skins? Probably not. Though even if they could the market in their current player base is likely too small to make it worth even putting 1 person on it as they could be contributing significantly elsewhere. They're a business, businesses exist to make money, everything else, unfortunately, is secondary. Don't get me wrong though, I do like the idea. Heck, if it was a free feature to use I'd absolutely give it a try, I just can't see it happening.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

You are quite right. Thank you for your input.

StealthWardenSep 23, 20151 votes

yeah, there isnt a problem with the feature. Riot would only do it if they deemed it of value to them, as in it would widen their market to a great enough extent that putting in the resources for a project like that, which is quite significant because we are talking about a new skin for every single champion release at the same time which would be free because its a feature and not a salable item, would grant them a large enough return in investment to justify the cost of such a large scale project. Since their market is 16-31 males (gaming community in general) large busts and tight rear ends grant the most return on investment and appeal to their client base.

TL;DR Its a marketing decision, based on profit returns of monetary value and market share.

Come fucking on already with this subject.

WolfessSep 23, 20152 votes

I'm surprised you have a bigger issue with the way the girls are dressed in the game. While I won't argue that they obviously tend to appeal to the opposite gender (Hey, you can't argue that sex appeal sells.) I'm more concerned as to you having an issue with this over the salt and harassment that can be seen in the game.

In any case, if you have issues with your son or daughter seeing that, either they are too young to be playing league or honestly you should not be letting them play league. There are many other online games that will provide adequate entertainment without your issue on choice of apparel or character image.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

True sex appeal sells and there are problems with saltiness and harassment in this game just like in any-other MMO there is only so much I can do about that (such as reporting the players who act like that or just refusing to act like that myself) I can also post something like this which only gives the suggestion for an optional feature which can touch groups of people and at the very least make them think.

well color me curious. touch groups of people about what? and make them think about what?

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

Touch the hearts and souls of those who play only for the sex appeal (emphasis on 'only') and make them think about if what they are doing is right

chances are if that's what they came for, they'll keep playing for the sex appeal since the modest setting is completely optional. that said, the sex appeal part applies mostly to the splash arts. If someone is honestly more concerned about the in-game model's sex appeal over winning the game, please let me know so I can dodge that queue :D

Baseball3bSep 23, 20151 votes

Not to interject here, but if people play the game purely for the sex appeal (of which there is, quite frankly, not a whole lot) then there's a bigger, broader issue.

EmittingXsSep 23, 20152 votes

You're so sexist and insensitive! You think that the only thing those "immodestly dressed" champions have going on is their bodies!? You're such a pig and that's such a backwards way of thinking.

Morgana is more than a body for your creeper eyes. She's really strong and her ability to not only support but also take on enemies by herself proves her worth as a CHAMPION and not as a woman. This is the League of LEGENDS, not "League of Women That Need to Change their Wardrobe Just Because You Have Zero Self Control and Zero Tolerance for Anything Out of Your Immediate Beliefs".

You and everyone else who wants more women to dress in more concealing wardrobes is what's currently wrong with this world. Their bodies, their rules. Don't like it? Then close your eyes and get out. You can't tell Morgana how to dress in the same way you can't, and probably won't, tell Braum to put on a shirt. Have you asked Morgana if she wants to conceal her body more? Have you taken her personal opinion on the matter? Don't force your beliefs onto her and especially not onto us.

Besides, I'd much rather have a young child play League than something a little more "revealing" like Grand Theft Auto or Mass Effect. /end sarcasm

That's how silly you sound :P now grow up and try to see the reality of the world instead of trying to fight for some silly cause.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20152 votes

How is this sexist or insensitive? I am attempting to respect women as people and part of that is to help when you see that a game or magazine or anything else is objectify them you try to do something about it. If this post offends you then just ignore it but don't insult people just because they want to give a person clothing. Also how am I "forcing" anything this would be an **OPTION **not a requirement.

EmittingXsSep 23, 20151 votes

So you only read what you want and then stop? I'm so sorry for your condition :(

In your attempt to "respect" women you prove my actual point.

HabitzSep 23, 20151 votes

It's just a game
People don't go into the game and zoom into their champ and go damn for 30 minutes
The bigger risk for trigger images is the high res loading images and such, not in game models/skins
You make the objectification of women/men more embedded by hiding the human body then just being real about hey this is what we look like naked

I would agree on that point so maybe a better idea is something along the lines of the summoner's icon such as Aatrox and player stats on the loading screen and not so much as far as the actual in game combat is concerned.

HabitzSep 23, 20152 votes

Something like that but the more you try and hide what the human body looks like the more it becomes a tool to manipulate repressed feelings.

MightyCaesar37Sep 23, 20151 votes

Dealing with modesty is always a double edged sword because what you say is true but it is also true that the more you reveal the less others respect you as a person and instead as a object.

HabitzSep 23, 20152 votes

This is only true because we place the idea into those people while they were young that being naked is sub-human and not a natural part of being human.

Gangplank can carve a man's bones while he is still, Thresh can carry a lantern of souls that he is actively torturing for eternity, Tahm Kench can spew lies and crunch the bones of his victims in his mouth, Ahri can seduce men and devour their very essence, and Darius can make a show of beheading all those he deems unworthy of life, but you are concerned that children can't see a woman's bare stomach? What's next, is Graves going to lose his Cigar?
