Now I'm not trying to say this game should be about getting off to the champions... but can we talk about how battle bunny Riven is probably breaking her spine in half to show you her ass and her boobs in her splash art? I'm trying to be just a little silly here, but truthfully it seems most of the female champions in this game show a lot of cleavage while most of the male characters are wearing multiple layers of heavy clothing. You have girls and gay guys in your fan base too, Riot... just saying >.>

And no... gladiator Draven doesn't count.

You do realize almost all games sexulaize women over men. Riot isnt the first to do this. Hell if anything the cleavage they show is modest compared to game like blizzards or dragon ages.

why doesn't Gladiator Draven count?

You should search the board for unprepared Garen, battle bunny Talon, people are trying to equal things but they need support.

Well, Tryndamere, Brand, Ryze, Teemo, Gnar, Braum, etc. do not have any shirt on.

Battle bunny Riven was something the community came up with.

Don't be blaming riot for doing what we thought was a good idea.

The female champions are sexualised for several reasons.

1: Men like to look at beautiful women when they play games, not hairy, muscle bound, sweaty guys that probably haven't bathed in weeks. Though when the guy is clearly washed and just looks awesome, men will play them too.

2: A lot of women like to play attractive and powerful female characters. Some have stated that it makes them feel empowered. While others simply don't want to play a guy.

Those are only two reasons though, and there are many more reasons besides those. So there is no "one" answer for your question unfortunately.
