Gender Switch Skins
I was recently browsing through some fan art and there appeared to be alot of gender switched champions. I would like to know what the community would think if the developers implimented this idea.

no
As long as they don't make one for the following three Champions
it would be kinda nice, but it would be almost pointless, as it is a skin that changes nothing but what the chest looks like.
Well, it seems like an interesting concept, but consider the following:
-
There are already so many skins Riot is making and the community wants. It would also be pretty weird for only a couple champions to have these skins.
-
All of the skins would require new voiceovers, models, and splasharts. So either legendary or 1350.

I have this feeling that not a ton of them would get sold as there are definitely some concepts that work best with a specific gender. Like, cold, sneaky, and manipulative champions such as Lissandra or Elise are concepts that work best with women, at least in my opinion. Then there's brutal and murderous champions such as Darius or Aatrox that work best as men.
I honestly can't think of any champions that would look good with their gender reversed, although that is quite possibly because I'm so used to the champions in the game.
Maybe Vladimir or Riven, but meh.
I personally would enjoy seeing Gender Bent skins on many characters. Both Male and Female. It would be a slow, expensive process though as it's been stated before: Every single skin would require: A new model (with new animations to fit the model), possibly new effects to fit the model if the previous ones were too bulky or not bulky enough, voice over work. This would bring the price to 1820, and because of the need for new animations, possibly even more.
I'm not a naysayer like the rest of those here, but I will admit it's unlikely to ever occur. It's also controversial so, there's that.
^ The characters I think would fit the role of Gender-Swapped-Themed-Skins the best.
It's transphobic, so no.
