Riot is showing blatant sexism towards men with their Prestige Skins.

Now with the release of Irelia, this makes the 7th female prestige skin vs the 2 males (if you count fizz as a male). i get it if the scales were a little out of balance, but 2:7 ratio is clearly on purpose. Can we have some male representation in our prestige skins please. Disgusting Riot.

Not everything is sexism, you know.

  • K/DA was an all female group that was going to get Prestige editions from the start, because they were initially made for them.

  • Aatrox got reworked, so naturally they'd want to hype it up with a new skin + a Prestige variant before they, you know, butcher him even more.

  • Vayne is the most popular of all those, so she gets it.

  • Yorick, Corki, Rengar, or Fizz could've gotten the Prestige here, but they probably went with the one that would earn them the most money.

  • Ezreal was a legendary so he didn't get it(because its already expensive enough as-is), Lux is the other popular champion so she gets it.

  • Battle Boss Yasuo honestly would've been a waste, Qiyana wouldn't have gotten a Prestige edition for her release skin, Kai'Sa already has a prestige, so it was going to be Caitlyn.

  • Akali already has a Prestige, Pyke is most likely legendary(same reason as Ezreal), Warwick isn't very popular from what I know, so it was either going to be Jinx or Irelia, as both are popular and will bring in the most money.

So I wouldn't say its sexism, more likely a popularity/pricing issue.

You sure it's not the other way round? Guys get hot chick skins but grills get nothing

Yes! Equality!!! So riot can make more women with waists thinner and more breakable than a toothpick!! Women who don’t get masks when their male counterparts do because they have to be pretty all the time!! Why not add another sexy big hipped woman? Surely nobody will ever get tired of that! Yahoo!! Riot hates men we have to oppress the e-girls more!!!!!!!!!

Sexism against men doesn't exist silly

######in case it wasn't obvious, it was sarcasm.

Ill be honest aiming for 50/50 gender diversity is stupid regardless of which gender it favours at that moment.

The prestige female skins are also rather revealing and the splash arts are quite seductive. While prestige Aatrox is over here covered in armor. And to pick Aatrox of all people, one of the ugliest champs in the game. Why do the female skins make them look more attractive while the Aatrox skin makes him look repulsive?

Whalers that would pay for the game are mostly mains of female champions such as Ahri and Lux as for female champions only Jhin or Ezreal mains exist , but both champions got a legendary skin so they can't get a prestiege one Prestiege skins

You honestly can't compare 7 to 2 4 of those females had to get them because they were a group it's kind of 3 to 2 anyway Only Kai'sa was supposed to get Prestiege skin but the fans just asked for all other K/DA members to get them as well

it's on purpose cuz they know people will buy the stuff. Attractive women who are already super popular champions + super rare skins? Tell me you didn't see this coming?
