RekSai arguably one of the strongest junglers right now and she's female.

I've never understood this. Why is it a problem for a female character to be sexy? Are there not actually sexy women? Can a sexy woman not be powerful? You're right that there isn't a Gragas equivalent female champion, but there are also plenty of male characters who are just as physically idealized as the female ones. Also why don't female monsters count? We're supposed to be inclusive right? Think of the void monsters you heartless worm!

perhaps what thread opener trying to say is: we need some big fat dirty chicks so we could set gargas a date with a proper match. that's all...

Eh. I'd mostly like to see representation of the various body types that there are. However, it is somewhat understandable why we don't have characters with thicker (I'mma use that word. Take offense, bring it) builds. All that running around, all that fighting - does the body good.

Anyhoo, here's a character I posted (shaddup, I'm not shilling) recently who has a different physique and isn't exactly 'eye candy' (I'm loath to use that word because beauty is totally in the eye of the beholder).

Man, I wish they didn't have all these manly men in the game, Graves makes me feel like a twig, and Lee Sin makes me feel fat. I refuse to play this game or like it because all it is, is a bunch of shirtless men running around that girls pleasure themselves to. SOOOOO LAME

Anyone that says "why can't female champs be strong AND sexy" truly doesn't understand how sexism works. All of the "sexy" female champs were most likely made by men for other men to drool over. There's zero agency.

There are plenty of powerful female characters who ALSO happen to be eye candy. None of them are JUST eye candy (except when they get overnerfed...).

I wonder, does anyone actually want to see more fat champions like Gragas and Urgot?

I don't play this game because of the female characters, I play because I enjoy playing MOBAs.

Enough with this 'strong female character' crap.

Ashe Annie Akali Caitlyn Elise Evelynn Fiora Jinx Kalista Karma Leblanc Leona Lulu Lux Orianna Poppy Riven Sejuani Shyvana Sivir Soraka Syndra Nami Kayle Irelia Cassiopeia Lissandra Vayne Tristana Anivia RekSai Diana Janna Quinn

Are all Female champions that by lore are nothing close to eye candy and (at least to me) have very little attractive qualities which get outweighed by their bad-assery and power.

This leaves very few other female characters that exist which could be classified as more "eye candy" than bad ass Ahri (fox girl) MissFortune (her lore revolves around seduction) Morgana (demon girl which has a lot of popularity nowadays) Nidalee (cat girl) Zyra (apparently a lot of people like this) Sona (people like her tits) Katarina (Assassin with not too much clothing...which would make sense...want light weight as an assassin)

So that's 7 out of 42 champions or 1/6 of the female champions which is 13%. That isn't much. If your gf enjoys deep stories then she would like the lore behind the characters as well and grow beyond the idea of them being eye candy.

Except MF. Her lore is all about seduction so that one fits this.

i disagree with your premise... that a powerful female can not also be beautiful.... beauty is in the eye of the beholder and a woman who chooses to display her natural attributes should not feel ashamed to do so...whatever they might be to her......

you should be ashamed in trying to shame proud beautiful powerful females

After playing the game, I can say that all of these champions are a lot more than eye candy.

Miss Fortune? Stare at her too long and she'll blast you with waves and waves of bullets. Her guns don't fire shots, they fire barrages of gunfire.

Ahri will suck your soul out before it can even think about asking her to dinner.

Lux will punish you in the name of Demacia and the blue buff you were trying to secure.

Evelynn... you'll never see her coming (see what I did there).

Caitlyn may seem like a pretty skirt, but don't think flashing away will save you from the sniper.

Vi has that police officer skin as an excuse to punch you harder.

Nurse Akali's needles are full of air. And poison. Like, poison air. Or something. No sexual healing for you.

Janna may show a bit of skin, but her theme is air. In mythology, spirits (especially of air) tend to not be weighed down by earthly clothing so much.

Irelia is going to kick your ass when you try to stare at her's. Have you seen the boards? She's a monster.

Leblanc has been begging for nerfs for a long ass time. And it's not because of her numerous skins showing off her illusive beauty.

It's in Zyra's lore. It's technically appropriate.

Sona... well she's been nerfed so many times but her lichbane Q combo is going to kill your low-health adc, breasts regardless.

The only champion we could really complain about is Rek'Sai, I mean jesus who thought it was a good idea for Riot to promote public nudity. That female champion needs some clothing!
