...even the Boards think your new female champ design is too sexy. Come on, Riot, have some standards and give Kayle back her armor. This is embarrassing.

I wouldn't even call it "sexy", I just call it "dumb". It's a leotard instead of armor on a character most well known for being armored.

The problem isn't that it's "too sexy", it just looks stupid.

It just dosen't fit the theme. We went from armor to a body suit? I dont mind remakes... just keep true to the character.

What do you mean even the Board? This people throw a fit whenever they see a curve.

It's not even the sex appeal that's the problem; in the same way the backlash against Varus' lore retcon wasn't (exclusively) homophobic. People are just getting sick of them changing shit for the sake of change when it undermines established parts of a champions's appearance or identity.

Meh. It's not that it's too sexy. it's that you took a heavy armored character and made her wear a skintight bodysuit with....well, a smidgen or two of "armor". Mostly on the legs and arms.

Wait, why the heck are we villafying the boards???? This is nothing new to the boards, they complained about Kai'sa, they complained about Sylas?? Give Story, Art and Sound some credit sheesh.

It's not too sexy, it's just Kayle been armored is iconic to her, the "too sexy" point has already been disproven by the fact no one cares about how sexy Morgana is.

The boards are never happy no matter what Riot does. It's not in any way worse than usual.

Typical Social Justice overreaction. COVER THE BARE SKINNED MEN IF YOU WANT TO BE EQUAL. As a woman, nobody should tell me how to look. People site the whole "Oh she always wore armor" thing, but it's blatantly disingenuous. What you all really mean is "I am offended that the PATRIARCHY sexualized woman AGAIN! FIX IT NOWW!!!!!!11!!!!" You've given women a terrible reputation as screeching harpies and you call it "empowerment". Disgusting.

And people think all we want is MORE BOOBS. What we want is consistent themes and designs. This body suit space angel doesn't make any sense at all. it's like when Riot removed all the duality references from Karma (heal/dmg Q, shield/dmg E, buff/debuff W and her two-tone color scheme etc) and gave us a generic and bland champ.

The Boards, like the rest of gaming-sphere, is populated mostly by reactionaries. Why are you surprised that they find female character design "too sexy" (or whatever excuse they use as a platform to get to their usual drivel)?

Didn’t the same thing happen with Sylas , Kaisa Janna etc... the boards always complains about sexualized champs when they come out.

You ppl should realize already that the boards are a minority and that Riot knows their consumer base better that you do.

OH DEAR GOD GIVE IT A REST. ITS NOT TOO SEXY. You people are ridiculous.

HalfTangible2/19/2019, 6:04:32 PM1 votes

Are you kidding?

I've never seen the boards be happy with a sexy character. Not once!

The only reason people aren't complaining that Morgana isn't more covered up is because she was released alongside Kayle.

excuse me half of the female champion player base would like to have a word with you
