Project Leona lacks feminine appeal.

I bought Project Leona on a whim because I've been using her Valkyrie skin since her release. When I first took a look at it in game, I felt underwhelmed and immediately had second thoughts about owning it. Comparing to Fiora's (the only other female with a project skin) she lacks any femininity, at least Fiora has a skin tight Zero-Suit look about her, where you can clearly tell by the curvature created by her armor, hell, I'm pretty sure she even has a boobie plate in the front. Leona lacks anything that would allow her to resemble a woman, even her exposed lower face and hair doesn't give the impression that there is a woman underneath. I would really like to see her changed to give her more female aspects to her armor (skin in general) or put more focus on showing that, "Yes - there is a woman underneath this armor."

Really disappointed with my purchase, I wouldn't even mind that she lacks flashier effects that other Project Champions have that she doesn't.

Not all women are meant to be feminine, same reason why not all men should be muscle freaks. Nothing is meant to be absolutely clear cut, stereotypes are not meant to be laws.

It's that simple.

She's a tank. She's not supposed to wear a skin tight suit.

She has one in her classic skin, but she still has armor on top.

She's supposed to have the bulky armor...she's a cyborg tank...

You are seeking attention. If not, then you're just ignorant.

Not being feminine is part of Leona's character. One of her lines even pokes fun at this. "I think I broke a nail, good thing it wasn't mine."

Didn't you hear? Feminist recently joined riot. So woman can't look feminine anymore. If leona even had a hint of fiora body armor people would cry.

Leona as a champion overall lacks femininity. She's a warrior and a proud one at that, why would she ever look the slightest bit girly?

Dude your post is crap. Project: Leona looks awesome. And by the way. Leona is one those champs that goes to show that No matter how decked in armor a woman is, she is still a beauty. I mean Fiora is dress modestly as she is still sexy as hell because she got a rocking body. And to be honest See more women wearing armor without having a Cleavage window or something that bars a little skin as an excuse to add "sex appeal" is something that should be done more. Trust me I love it there is a sexy skin out, but I appreciate real sexyness instead of that tramppy crap that is fed to the masses to water the pool and harden the spear. That is why I think that Pool Party Leona is damn sexy, even if it rather conservative.

I think they may have gotten her feminine look mixed with PROJECTLucian This guy is starting to look more feminine every time I look at his PROJECT skin.

Honestly, they should have just kept classic Leona's little frilly dress design on the project skin and everything would be solved. But I do agree that it does make her look a bit too robotic whereas the classic skin is feminine (long hair, dress), as is just about every other skin aside from possibly defender.

That said, it's not all that big a deal anyway. Project Leona looks badass, though I don't understand why she got the robotification voice when there's clearly a human inside that armor.
