Does anyone else get bothered by the body parts/clothing that just looks and is impossible? I know it's just a game, but much of the artwork could be done in a more tasteful less sexist manner... I am not even a female player and I think it's a bit over the top.
Here's another post about how breasts should be drawn to look more human: http://kotaku.com/heres-how-to-draw-real-boobies-1397268914

so offensive
Schàdenfreude1 votes? how is that offensive lol I mean, u have at least one person with six pack right? :)
Ralanr8 votesRiot's been getting better (Taliyah, Illaoi, Rek'sai) at making more distinct female champions that aren't meant for simple eye candy. Hell Pool Party MF could have been much more of a tease considering what MF is (though Fiora and Taric did much fan service and many rejoiced).
Whyte Lyon6 votesWell tbh OP has a valid point to be made, a lot of female characters in entertainment have as much in common as with Bond Girls from the 60s & 70s. Females are intended to be, for the most part as eye candy for predominantly male audiences. But like what most have already said, Riot has made a strong effort to break away from those cliches and it is a breath of fresh air to see changes for new characters (tho ask anyone who has a problem with Taliyah's appearance and they'd say otherwise).
These characters use their sexuality as a key characteristic trait and that's fine because there's only them out of the remaining female roster.
However there are some that I would personally agree with that have been "Objectified"
So Morgana can only cover everything from the waist down?
Not so much LB, other then wearing clothes similar to that of a.... Lady of the Night.
Jana is described as a smart girl, but she apparently likes to only cover her bits with toilet paper.
In the end, that's it in the way of "Objectified" female characters and that's what... only 7 out of 43 give or take, despite the fact that 4 of them use their sexuality to an effect.
GreenLore2 votesI wouldn't say that sexuality is key to Nidas character. The only sexual line in her VO is her joke.
Though I'd say that sexuality is key to 
s character though it is more a part of her backstory,so even that is debateable.
Whyte Lyon1 votesOkay that's fine, but anyone else who doesn't know Nid's lore would still see her as a sexualized champ regardless of personality or back story. So I'd only be adding one more character to the list of visually "Objectified" female champs.
GreenLore2 votesWell Nida is basically LoLs Tarzan,so it makes sense that she wears not that much. The fanservice fits her theme,but isn't really key to her character(as in her personality)
YCitizenSnipsY1 votes"The only sexual line in her VO is her joke." Well I guess a pole dance doesn't technically count as a line.
GreenLore1 votesAh thought that was her joke-animation.
But I doubt that dances,similar to jokes shouldn't be taken too seriously. Riot outright said that sometimes they just take the most hilarious dance they can come up with.

Shakira (the singer) has an IQ of 140. Meaning she's technically a genius and <2% of the world is 'smarter' than her. And she also likes to only cover her bits with toilet paper.
Maybe some smart people just are happy with their body and ok with people looking at it.
Whyte Lyon1 votesEvilMerodach1 votesWell I mean my point is maybe it's not wrong at all. I mean sure it would be wrong if every single female in every videogame ever was just there to look pretty and appeal to teenage boys.
But I think the line of thought that woman can't be half (or nearly all) naked in a video game is just as bad as having all of them be half naked.
Though there's always going to be people saying none should be 'sexy' and then there's still gonna be the teenage boys who want them all to be sexy.
Whyte Lyon1 votesI know this is a late reply and take what you will from me but at no time is there an impression of Janna needing a wafer thin outfit to receive attention or even that she would gain from it, i mean she's already famous from her speciality. If Riot had done that I would have placed her in my top row of sexy champs with
and who all use their looks as a characteristic trait.
I realize she is intended to be above average in beauty as well as mind but Janna doesn't need the outfit she has for record sales and she doesn't need it for the shits and giggles either (my inner white knight is really surfacing now). My best idea would be if she had wore something more akin to Storm from Xmen it would be a thousand times better. Tho her comic book outfit is very slim, it could still be considered sexy and practical. Therefore I would have never featured Janna on my list at all.
Zarkkast5 votesSome older splash arts are still problematic but I feel Riot has improved a lot in regards to this.
Just look at the new Nidalee splash arts for instance.
Also Taliyah and Illaoi.

That congress ignores the real issues at large is problematic.
Thank SJW's for trying to ruin a perfectly fine word.

Bruticus443 votesMiss Fortune is the main offender, but I really hope they continue with female characters like jinx, Illaoi, and Tayliah who aren't just super thin and big breasted.
DREADN0UGHT2 votesGotta love how feminists think this issue is reserved for women. As if champs like 
were any closer to a realistic representation of what a man should look like, or how 
or 
were representations of how men should act.
Objectification is present in 99% of games that aren't from Nintendo, and it will always be there. Because games are fantasies, and if I wanted to play a game as myself, I would play life. Fantasies are meant to be fantastic. Its what society wants us to perceive, and to be quite honest, lets not be stupid here, shit would not sell if it wasn't from all these voluptuous virtual boobs and rock hard eight-packs.

and
GreenLore3 votesUhm Teemo is male...
TequilaZombie4 votesSatan has no gender!
Glaedr1 votesI know this is prob just bait, but let's look at it for real. A lot of women in League have very action-oriented poses, so when you think "yeah, they just stuck her ass out there for the sake of doing it", look at the full picture. Then as for the entire champion theme, there are plenty of champs that are not objectified and for others it's literally their design to look like that.

Whyte Lyon2 votesLmao, your missing the point OP was trying to make about body proportions. Art is art, you're right about that but the other style is more realistic because the later is impossible without implanted help. You say in your experiences both are reasonably representitive. But to me that just says you have no problem with fake as much as you might default. Which is stupid, I mean who wants to see hacked up reboots because the originals are so much better to watch.
Yeah there's more women with plastic implanted proportions today. So I could kind of understand the point of all styles being legitimate design for artists to use. But doing something legitimately is also doing it with respect and admiration. So for an artist to intentionally do it wrong is still the real insult.
I think you need to mouse back over to your porn sites, you arrogant twat and grow up a little.
Maximum Morde1 votesThere is nothing wrong with the body proportions. The only strange thing is the pose in the first one. Other than that, I see and hire interns that look more like the first one all the time.
Whyte Lyon1 votesI'm sorry Idk which pose your talkin about. First link or second?
Maximum Morde1 votesFirst. I never looked at the second one.
