Why isn't there a fat female champion?

It just occurred to me that there are no bulky female champs on League! And I don't even mean like an obese character, but rather a not-entirely-seductive-in-a-skinny-way kind of build. Illaoi Illaoi might be on the heavier side of the scale, but even if she does look bulkier, she's not precisely a full build, and she'd be the only one (out of all the female champions) to not be absolutely thin and seductive. I think it's important to reduce the ONLY-hot-women stereotype, and videogames are a great way to start. I mean, if you do create this kind of champ, she should even be like OP! Just a thought.

Taliyah is not fat, but she's not ''seductive'' or anything, she's rather normal. Anivia is a bird. :^)

Did you just say Taliyah is not seductive? She caught my eye the second I saw her. She is the cutes champion imo and I couldn't wish for something else.

She's no Ahri or Janna. She's not specificly ugly, but not designed to be seducive like the 2 mentioned above. She looks like a normal person.

I'm glad I like a normal person then.. although it's a video game character*[zombie-nunu-bummed]*

She is absolutely not seductive. She's not showing off her body and has a very averagely shaped body and an average face, especially with those big ass eyebrows. You being attracted to her is not the same as her being seductive.

Why is it important to change fantasy character archetypes? The whole reason people play video games is for entertainment and an escape from reality. Having the game filled with gross, fat, unattractive characters isn't going to make people find an unattractive person in real life more attractive and if someone feels bad about how they look after seeing a unrealistically attractive character in a video game then they should work towards changing how they look instead of trying to get everyone else to change.

Poppy Poppy isn't terribly hot. She isn't terribly smart either. She's short, stubby, and mean as hell.

Elise Elise is the epitome of what you don't want in a woman. She may be attractive, but she'll freaking eat you.

Kalista Kalista is basically a zombie.

RekSai Rek'sai is Nashor's daughter. There is nothing attractive about her, by human standards. Though she may be really hot to her own species.

Anivia Anivia is a bird. Same argument as Rek'sai.

Orianna Orianna is a machine with a sad story. She might like to play with balls, but lets be honest here...no one is attracted to homicidal machines.

There is a fetish for everything so I wouldn't say no one would be in to X or Y.

Sejuani and Illaoi and to some extent Leona are all on the bulky side. We don't have many fat male champiosn either (exception is Gragas ) mainly because fat people wouldn't be able to carry battle effectively (this is a war game afterall). The rest of the bulky male champions are actually beefy more than fat(DrMundo Braum Garen Darius ) and the equivalent to those are these 3 ladeies

Imagine this. if there was a fat female champ, quinn's foot would get stuck in the fat champ's stomach if she tried to vault haha. Vault fail!

You do know that the female body develops and maintains muscle in different ways than men right?

Illaoi is probably the peak a female could realistically be. Of course, there are woman in real life that take testosterone and steroids to get as bulky as men can, but I doubt Illaoi would juice up.

If you want a fat female champion, that's fine, but most female champions have a reason they are thin. The thing is, Riot hasn't made a female champion who's backstory doesn't allow them to be thin, or they can shape shift and look however they want to look.

Well we could always bring Gragas wife into the game. Instead of throwing barrels she'd be tossing pig butt at everyone.
