Small request, but could this quote be redirected towards a specific champion rather than male champions as a whole? It’s kinda offensive? Might I recommend the obvious Twitch who’s known and proud of his stench? Or perhaps at Graves who apparently doesn’t know hygiene outside of his beard? (Based off Neeko’s other quote towards him)
Edit: Changed sexist to offensive since people were getting rather hot and bothered over this
Imagine if Neeko was a male chameleon and after changing into the form of a woman commented on how weak she was. Don't think that would have made it into the game....

This would be a good change, I think.
I kinda agree it's sexist, but that's on par with Riot.
Well, to be fair.... how many of leagues male champions look like they bathe at all besides Taric?
Something my wife and I agreed on is, it would be a lot cuter and charming if instead of the whole "ugly/smelly" thing, Neeko could go for the typical child-like "cooties".
Taunting male champ, "ewww gross, you have cooties" Transforming into male, "Gasp, does Neeko have cooties now"?!
Would love to see quotes for the more "personality inclined" champs:
Being Syndra, Zyra, Evelynn etc: "ughhh, Neeko back hurts".
Being MF: "It hurts Neeko to walk like this".
If a male champion had said something similar about female champions, imagine the lawsuits and the fucking outcry...
Riot, how about you drop the virtue signalling and fix the real issues?
The whole quote is asinine to me because even through shapeshifting I have trouble believing that she just assumes the smell as well. Especially when it comes from things like sweat and dirt. Smell doesn't just magically appear. Although this point is probably open for discussion.
That she uses the line for all males is just plain retarded because no matter what your sexuality is, you still have a basic sense of beauty that goes beyond the sexes. You don't have to attracted to someone to find that person beautiful, like wth?
All in all I don't think the line by itself is problematic in any way. It's more like the whole crap surrounding it (diversity, sexism and the ways they are handled) are making us overly sensitive to it. Rightly so though because we all know that a similar line targeted a females would be under much more scrutiny.
Btw, why doesnt Neeko say “Does my butt look big in this?“ when she shapeshifts into a woman?
You know what really upsets me?
"Do I look as bad as I smell?" isn't a 
interaction quote.
