Genderbent Skins

Tarots·12/14/2014, 8:02:57 PM·13 votes·17,457 views

Genderbent skins for humanoid champions (classic skins) sold at ultimate price (3250 RP), or possibly higher or lower depending on how much work it'll take Riot and how much profit Riot wants. Effects would stay the same. The only things you'd need, I think, would be a voice over, model update, and a splash. I think many people would love to buy these skins. (Skins don't pertain to lore anyways so it wouldn't be "game-breaking")

By humanoid I mean Amumu not being turned into a full sized woman with giant breasts and bandages barely covering anything, no human female Rengar with giant breasts also scantily clad, no human female Kha'Zix with little pieces of carapace covering her giant tits, etc. Female rengar would just be male Rengar practically, female cats don't have giant breasts and human skin (I'm sorry horny boys of league).

The purpose is to swap the gender of the champion while preserving their character, not to make a slutty genderbend. If males have no shirt (Ryze), don't give one to the female. If the female is wearing a thong (Janna), give the male a thong too. Sexualization is okay as long as it's equal.

Thanks for reading if you read!

Methinks the reversal of some champions' genders might lead to... discomfort of the amusing kind. The best kind.

Just for that, I might play male Ahri and MissFortune, and female Gragas and Taric, because making people uncomfortable is essentially my passive ability.

It might also be interesting to see bent versions of characters who are noted for being masked or heavily clothed, too, such as Jax or Kassadin, since Riot wouldn't necessarily be able to pull the "long hair = feminine" thing, though it might just be treated as an excuse to pull the "gigantic hips and bust = feminine" thing, which would honestly be stale given how often it's already been played.

Also, female Swain would probably be the first notably disfigured woman in League, since his bad leg is important to his character, and likewise female Braum and female Zilean would probably be the first hyper-muscular-giant woman and the first visibly old woman in League, respectively, because again, those traits are important to their characters. Such traits tend inform a character's behavior and outlook.

That observation's discounting the lads (and lasses) of the Shadow Isles (as well as Sion and Urgot), who would probably be among the most unrewarding to transpose into opposite-gender models, seeing as they're mostly decayed corpses/skeletons and/or ghosts and/or zombies, and at that point all dead people look mostly the same anyway.

And then on the other hand, there's male Kayle and female Ezreal, who, yes, we all know, would probably be the easiest to do. Perhaps even to the point of being just as unrewarding, or perhaps not.

It'd be pretty pointless to apply the concept to Yordles, Amumu/Annie/Nunu, or drastically non-humanoid champions such as Rengar or Chogath, though, because there'd be almost no aesthetic difference apart from VO and mannerisms. Maybe not even VO, in the case of the child champions.

After these considerations, I'm inclined to remain against a line of genderbent skins, because it doesn't appear to be a particularly interesting re-imagination of any given champion, and because the work involved in their creation would likely be disproportionate to the estimated payoff of the experience of the skins themselves.

Who would you be playing as? Olaf with item 3112s or Riven with a item 1058, if you'll pardon the puns. That's it. No significant change of lore, or visual theme, or personality, or spell effects, unlike Brolaf or Crimson Elite Riven. In spite of this, the skins would demand new models, new animations, and new VO's out of principle, which would make them very expensive for how little they ultimately differ from the default skins.

I had a similar idea in mind, with Lucian 's genderbend being Senna. [that would also make for a sweet backstory]

Yes please dear Christ. I've already made a "Male Ahri" post with a picture and all. Ugh the amount I would pay for these is absurd. Bye medical bills you can wait.

I don't know how I feel about this. My vote's gonna go on 'I have no idea.'
