So, there's been a few discussions about LGBT oriented stuff, but I'd like to ask, why there's isn't any LGBT oriented skins?
and Arcade 
:D)
It would be really awesome if you'd make some skins like that :D Or maybe even a new champion :D But skins (or A skin) would be good either way :DCheerio!
DariusDemiurge4 votesYou people need to stop with this nonsense. First off this is a stupid idea on so many levels. Secondly a waste of time and resources. Third stop forcing your views and feelings on others.
Lonely Flame3 votesBecause Riot is a video game that is played globally. It is not their place to put in LGBT skins or even LGBT champions. They don't need to. They don't have to.

Its not like the OP is demanding a LGBT skin lol.
Lonely Flame2 votesAnd I never said he was. I'm stating why they shouldn't/won't.
CatSith3 votesThere are a lot of things that are in league that aren't accepted globally. That shouldn't/won't affect their decision to make a skin/champion concept.

- You're absolutely right. And I'm sure that decision has led to League not being as popular in those countries as say America or OCE where that kind of culture is acceptable. You know what is a hot button issue in America and OCE? LGBT culture. Just because you or I don't have and issue with it doesn't mean others won't. And the kind of people that do have an issue with it are the kind of people who will call to have the skin removed or the skin banned for promoting an agenda. It's the same reason that Riot have said they won't do cross-dress skins like Runaway Bride Mundo or Battlebunny Draven. It's not that Riot have an issue with cross-dressers. It's because they are a company that runs globally that doesn't need to bring unwanted attention or controversy on itself.
- No it means it's not their damn place. They're a video game company. They can if they want to, but there's absolutely no reason for them to because they're not the kind of people who NEED to make a statement. It's not like they're in politics or some sort of social platform to speak of. They are the makers of a game designed for entertainment. Why doesn't Call of Duty have a gay skin pack? Why doesn't DOTA have a gay skin pack? Because they don't need to.
- And here's another issue. You're making a demand of something with absolutely no idea of what you want. That's the laziest activism. You're saying Riot should put time and effort into a concept that doesn't have a form that is easy to convey. This isn't like a Western skin where you can throw a cowboy hat on a champ. Tell me: What does a LGBT person look like hmm? What about a LGBT persons APPEARANCE makes them different from a hetro person? Answer me that and you can have your skin.
I didn't make any demands to make a skin/champion at all. I'm just trying to make a point that no one else is seeing. The OP wants to see a skin/champion that supports the LGBT and he/she in no way demand to make it.
There is no reason for this thread to get so many downvotes and negativity towards the OP. He/she is just posting about wanting to see a LGBT skin or champion in a game he/she loves to play.
Making a LGBT champion doesn't mean he/she has to look like a queen or show bright rainbow colors, that's utterly offensive. There's something called a background story ( lore.) A LGBT persons appearance isn't different from a hetro person because guess what? We re all human. You are just being ignorant and biased.

how do you know current champions aren't gay ? not all have a tracking of their love story, and if it means that much to you, just imagine your gay waifu is gay too and done.
Sodokios3 votesTo be honest here they don't need to.
warpenguin5553 votesSounds like a gay idea
heheheh ill show myself out
Crowe Stalker2 votesBecause a Video Game company (especially a Profit-Driven Company) is not required to bring Politics into their game unless the game itself is centered or involves those Politics innately? A MOBA doesn't have to get involved in LGBT like Dragon Age or Mass Effect would because of how they work and function.
And yes I know LGBT is not 'Politics' but that's how it's viewed by businesses. The less firestorms Riot gets involved in, the better off they'll be in the long run.
CatSith3 votesIf anything it will give them more publicity. Having a LGBT theme isn't gonna negatively affect them, since the player base is use to seeing LGBT players already.
Cindikle2 votesI'd have to start with Arcane Hecarim not being LGBT. Not a brony myself, but I'm sure it's not limited to gays. Not sure why you started list for this too. When there was no #2.
The biggest problem with saying this is that there are VERY few champions that even have any romance involved in their lore. League is not a game about romance.
- Not solidified. But is overall canon.
- Was a peak they are probably dating. Nothing else. Was over a year ago. Could of broken up by now.
- Married. Many believe it to be a political marriage more than anything. Although they probably don't hate each other.
- More of a crush on Trist's end. I don't think they are a couple. Nothing keeps the girls away like being saten.
- More of a fan made couple. Don't think Riot has made it canon yet.
2 couples, 2 crushes and one made up. Out of ~130 champions. There are a few that involve a past loved one(Varus, Lucian).
Don't make League about romance. It can be part of their story. But don't make it the reason they exist. Riot should add it if they feel it fits the character they create, not create a champion around it. And skins are just pushing it.
Bleediss2 votesit's quite simple
not many of the champions' sexuality is even mentioned, even if it is, it isn't really shown to be important or something to take note of
even then, you're just going to offend the LGBT community by making stereotypically 'gay,' skins and calling it LGBT

they don't even know what they want, and it really makes no sense to try and pander these people, whatever you do they will always complain, like what happened to Overwatch, SJW complained about this kind of stuff, Blizzard added that tomboy russian lesbian and another alike character, and what do these people do? they complain more.
even if you try to pander these kind of ridiculous stuff, they will still criticize you, the best thing is just to ignore them.

What. Who are "these people"? Because from the looks of it you're being really rude to LGBT people right here. The LGBT people who want sexuality-specific skins/champs are not the same people as those who don't want to be pandered to - we're not just one big confused and idiotic bunch of people, thank you very much.
Colgate Gator2 votesFor all I care half of the LoL's champions rooster is LGBT but nobody has business knowing that about the characters in this game.
Much like I don't care about celebrities' or even random people's sexual preference/identity, I'm more interested in their item builds.

jaywxyz1 votesi wish, the league of legends community is very heteronormative.
WarmAndCrispy1 votesThe two skins you mentioned are pretty gay. The base taric skin kind of is too. What reason is there to add more? They're already represented.
