Reversed gender skins

BeaWhoeverYouAre·Aug 1, 2015·6 votes·1,098 views

So me and a friend had an idea to have the champions get their genders swapped. I thought it would be a pretty cool update but she said it should be skins. Skins would probably be better. Like Riot can make either every champion have a gender switched skin or just have a few like 5 or so. Either way we think it would be a really great idea to have a gender switched champion week and have them for a limited time only, causing more people to want them. Anyone else agree to have a Gender Switched Champion Week?

Yes but they don't have actual gender swapped skins in the game. Sure I could pop in a picture of a reversed gendered Jinx Jinx and a reversed Blitzcrank but you can't play as a male Ahri Ahri or a female Braum Braum . You can look at all the pictures you want on the internet but you can't play as them which would be awesome. So don't be a stick in the mud, play as a reversed gendered character and have a ball! Let there be GSCW!

"Just a few like 5 or so....." Honestly that is not few at all,considering that many champion don't even have that many skins.

Overall the idea is too problematic. These kind of skins would need to be legendary,because they'd need a full Voice over and then there is the problem of readability. A champion has to look like him/herself so that you can recognize him/her regardless of their skin.

But changing the champions gender could make things easily confusing,depending on the champion.

Alright 1: Out of 126 it's a few. 2: Actually they could just deepen and lighten the voices or something with auto tune or something like that. 3: They would be basically the same, it would just be the other gender. Jinx would still have shorts and barely a shirt on and stuff. Plus the names of the skins also help. One time I saw a Nutcraco skin and I was in a group call and stuff and they were like "Wait whose that guy? I've never seen him before." but I knew who it was and stuff. The skin names would be "Jinx" still or something and so when they're in they can easily know who the champion is and be like "Oh they got the reversed skin." 4: Tell me a champion who would have a confusing gender switch.

1.I misunderstood you then,it sounded more like "5 for a single champion" 2.That would probably sound unnatural 3.&4:How about Braum?Or Blitzcrank?

1: Alright then. 2: Well I don't know, just trying to make a good idea be a good idea. 3 & 4: Braum yea you got me there, he doesn't have a shirt on so you'd see some things. Blitzcrank would be pretty easy tho, here's a picture of him and Jinx.

That would be already too much of a change for Blitzcrank He is suddenly much taller and slimmer,keeping the shape of the champ intact is important here.

Jinx would also need to keep her twintails or at least something similar.

Actually no, I said it could be a few peeps that they could choose to be reversed gendered. So it doesn't matter what champions wouldn't be a good gender swapped one, they just wouldn't make it. Jinx I could see as gendered swapped, but yes Blitzcrank and Braum could just not be switched. So yea, just switch a few.
