LGBT oriented skins

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?

  1. (Well, safe for Armor of the Fifth Age Taric and Arcade Hecarim :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 :D

Cheerio!

You 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.

To be honest here they don't need to.

Because 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.

it'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

For 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.

Because 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.

I'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.

Garen Katarina - Not solidified. But is overall canon. Ezreal Lux - Was a peak they are probably dating. Nothing else. Was over a year ago. Could of broken up by now. Ashe Tryndamere - Married. Many believe it to be a political marriage more than anything. Although they probably don't hate each other. Teemo Tristana - More of a crush on Trist's end. I don't think they are a couple. Nothing keeps the girls away like being saten. Syndra Zed - 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.

i wish, the league of legends community is very heteronormative.

The 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.
