Yet another discussion on Evelynn

LunSeiSleidee··5 votes·1,268 views

First off, I am glad that they actually tried to give a bit of variety to her face. She no longer looks identical and indistinguishable to Elise. I can see the little differences - they are there even if small.

I am not a fan of the trope of the evil temptress. It associates female sexuality with evil and treachery and permeates the stereotype that sexually open women are evil while "pure" girls are good. They even called her Eve just to drive the point across. In light of this, one may even welcome Ms Fortune's design because she is still a femme fatale but at least she is not evil or using her sexuality to manipulate men.

Besides, this is the second evil temptress trope as we already had Elise before. I wish Elise had a motherhood theme instead, but sadly her spiderlings are a random gameplay mechanic and her theme is the evil seductress, just like Evelynn.

With that out of the way: I can actually have fun playing an evil sexy woman. I am a straight woman, so I would not appreciate Evelynn because she is hot, but I could appreciate Evelynn because her dominating sexuality can be seen as empowering in some ways.

If future female Champions keep the variety League has been having in recent years, I do not mind a sexy babe every once in a while.

MF actually uses/used her sexuality to manipulate men and reach her goals. :p

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

It doesn't seem so from her lore and her voicelines?

Fasmodey7 votes

Her lore somewhere says that. At least in Burning Tides or Shadow and Fortune. But I am 100% sure she did and somewhere it is said.

Her VO is ultra outdated, that's why people think it needs an update. it doesn't fit, and neither reflects her lore. Literally, her VO is not canon, like Orianna and Diana.

Let me set the record straight: Evelynn was the evil seductress long before Elise even existed. Seeing as this is a rework and not a new champion it would be incorrect to rework Evelynn into anything other than what she already was.

Second, Elise is not an evil seductress. She lures people to offer to the Spider God, but she doesn't use her looks or charms, rather she gets them to willingly come through their dedication to the Black Rose (in the old lore, I think she had a cult, which I think is cooler, but the statement still stands, she does NOT seduce people sexually).

Third, while I think League is over saturated with femme fatales, very few of them openly use sexuality, and the ones that do are all very different. I already mentioned Elise and how she near worships and serves a Spider God. MF seduces men, but it's usually a means to an end, she's more interested in her political goals; she's not actually a flirt, she actually seems rather serious in her recent lore, but she's not going to waste a good resource(how she would see it) like her sex appeal. Evelynn is the closest to a traditional "seductress" trope. And Ahri has a morality issue: she seduces men and sucks up their life essence to become human, but the more human she becomes, the more she feels bad about it, making her much less evil than initially thought. Of the 4 ladies I mentioned, only really two of them are considered truly evil, and one of those two has a somewhat sympathetic backstory, the other I don't think is human. I would consider all of them powerful in their own way.

Sexuality is actually not explored that much in League of Legends. There are a bunch of female Champions that could easily fall under "femme fatale" but for most of them, sexuality is basically non-existent. Katarina looks hot but does NOT use sexuality, only her skill with knives and her primary motivation revolves around her father and her family in general. Fiora is hot, but actively refuses to marry and duels everyone she can to prove her power, again only caring about the family status. Vayne is attractive, but she studied dark creatures and how to put an end to them, becoming a vigilante, all motivated by her parents' deaths. Zyra is a plant that has taken a human form for survival, not even technically a woman. These and more are women in the game that are very voluptuous and good-looking but sexuality plays zero role in their lives. This may just have been Riot's early design patterns, where most women were pretty conventionally attractive no matter their background, but there are Champs like Lissandra, Jinx, Illaoi, arguably Irelia and Lux, none of which are strictly conventionally attractive, so I think the variety in appearance is increasing and that's good.

Discussions like this are fine to have, but honestly female champs in League are becoming less of an issue. They're getting better about providing face and body variety and for the most part aren't giving in to iffy tropes like the "femme fatale" or any other variety of sexualizing or damseling. The women in League have always been powerful in their own right, and less emphasis is being put on their appearance. Tropes are tools not rules, and I think Riot is getting that with this new Evelynn re-imagining. It's ok to make a character based around an archetype, it's not ok to make a character who is nothing BUT an archetype, and Riot is doing a good job avoiding those pitfalls as far as female Champs are concerned.

As I finish writing this, I realized we JUST got Xayah not that long ago, probably the most sexually open Champ since ole Evelynn herself. If you play her by herself, she's not very sexual, she's only sexually open with her partner, Rakan, which makes perfect sense. And while I don't personally like Xayah as a character (not that she's a bad character, just that I disagree with her mentality as a person) her relationship with Rakan is something I think we can all admire, and Riot presents it as something desirable. If that's not a solid example of "good female sexuality" I don't know what is.

Heck, even Illaoi is open about how she had a fling with Gangplank. I don't think there's anything on Runeterra that could shame that woman.

I haven't played her or Rakan much because I don't like their designs, but..... aren't there voicelines which precisely show that she cares about Rakan far more than Rakan cares about her?

Doesn't Rakan have a voiceline in which he quips something like "hey ladies, look who's single now" if he kills an enemy Xayah?

I mean, don't get me wrong - I find that interesting and more psychologically complex and much more interesting than if they were just a generic loveydovey couple. I'm just saying it doesn't seem something to look up to.

Or maybe I got them wrong. I dunno, I really haven't played them more than once or twice.

AbiwonKenabi6 votes

No no no no no, Rakan DEFINITELY has more lines about Xayah. Rakan talks about her more even when she's NOT there. No, Rakan is way more into Xayah, Xayah is basically a woman with a career: cares for her lover a lot, but has plenty of other things to think about. Rakan's whole existence revolves around Xayah (which is actually one of the issues I have with the two, but I digress). Xayah even worries he's only going along with her rebellion because SHE believes in it, not because he does. He tells her that's not true, but I have my doubts.

That line you mentioned I've never actually heard in-game (I play Rakan a lot) but I'm pretty sure one of his other Xayah kill lines is "This alternate reality stuff is weirding me out" or something to that effect(again, a line I've never heard) so I don't think it's meant to be taken seriously. They are closer to generic loveydovey couple, honestly.

I have no clue as to why you have so many downvotes- but I do know that I agree with you on basically every aspect of this post. As an artist, I think the direction they’ve taken Evelynn is MUCH more in line with what she should have been from the beginning. I think a lot about her can be seen as empowering, but leave it to straight men to try to mansplain why some other character is more empowering. She’s sexy, and she’s dangerous, and, unlike Widowmaker from Overwatch, her design totally makes sense! I think that Riot really nailed her on the head.

but I could appreciate Evelynn because her dominating sexuality can be seen as empowering in some ways.

If you feel empowered by getting off on murdering people, you might want to get a psychological evaluation IMO.

If you want a good example of a female Champion with empowering sexuality, I recommend you look at Illaoi. She's a hedonist, and much to the pleasure of her god Nagakabouros, she enjoys life (including love), completely ignorant to anyone else's viewpoints. She is openly sexual, not an evil temptress, and is really, really just living empowerment on all fronts.


As an aside, in my personal opinion, I can't really imagine Elise (or any similar Champions) having a "motherhood" theme, though if there were to be any Champions with such a theme, they'd either be a Support, or more a "force of nature" theme than "motherhood".

I could definately see elise viewing herself as the mother of her spiderlings but at the same point shed still be somewhat crazy.

LunSeiSleidee3 votes

Two things.

You are right, Illaoi is far more empowered than Evelynn. But what can I say, if I am given a character like Evelynn, I have to try to find what may be interesting about her.

Second thing: how cliché is to associate motherhood with support roles? I suggest you check out Broodmother from DotA2 instead.

Oh, and about your comment about how crazy it is to feel empowered for killing people, I suggest you look at the best selling videogames. Like GTA or CoD. Yes, killing virtual people is the real essence of videogame empowerment fantasies. Which means that either we are all crazy and need psychiatric help, or maybe we can distinguish reality and fantasy.

Umbral Regent5 votes

Ignoring the whole "try and find what may be interesting" thing, since that's beside the point;

You're kinda confusing the types of empowerment fantasies here. There's the "stronger than all"/"elite soldier" kinda fantasy that Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto play to by either having enemy soldiers with tunnel vision (CoD) or a massive world to pretty much run rampant in (GTA).

Then, there's the type of empowerment that we're actually talking about here; sexual empowerment. A good example of sexual empowerment is, like I mentioned before, Illaoi. She sleeps with who she wants and doesn't care what anyone else says; and that's empowering.

A bad example of sexual empowerment is Evelynn. She is sadism cranked up to 11 and then some. She seduces, kills, and probably gets most of her thrills by slaughtering bewildered, hapless victims and (as her appearance in Vayne's biography and her post-update splash art depict) getting caught in the act.

She is a seductress first and foremost, but a huge part of her identity is that she is also a cold-blooded killer. And if seducing people only to kill them for fun is empowering - then you may just be a psychopath.

So, TL;DR - yes, I commented about how crazy it is to feel empowered for killing people - sexually empowered. You can't really use GTA or CoD against that, because they don't play to sexual fantasies (except in some cases for GTA), they play to power fantasies.


I CBA to put focus on the "motherhood" thing for right now, but if you want to move over to that discussion or continue on this one, choose whichever. (though i'm not really sure what else could be said on this subject honestly)

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

She is a seductress first and foremost, but a huge part of her identity is that she is also a cold-blooded killer. And if seducing people only to kill them for fun is empowering - then you may just be a psychopath.

I'll put it simply: fantasy and reality are two different things. So I don't understand why is it ok to fantasize about killing hundreds of enemy soldiers, but it's not ok to fantasize about dominating and killing men (or women, for what it matters).

Maybe because the latter involves sex? And sex = bad, violence = acceptable?

That being said, I actually wholly, 200% agree with you that Illaoi is a much, muuuch better example of sexual empowerment than Evelynn.

Riot has long given up on toning down female fanservice champs because it's a bad marketing strategy to do so.

There are actually three, maybe more female dangerous/evil seductress champions and they provide a consistent frow of revenue and get a consistent flow of content and updates.

If I know recent Riot well, they will attempt to even the scales not by neglecting fanservice for male nerds, but upping fanservice for female ones.

Wrathof3001 votes

Toning down the fan service or toning down the number? I think they are working well toward keeping the number a smaller fraction of the greater roster of females. Conversely however, they made the decision up the sexiness of said 'fan service' champions.

LunSeiSleidee3 votes

As long as they keep adding Champions like Taliyah, Rek'Sai or Kalista, I cannot complain if they increase the fanservice level of Champions like Evelynn or such.

My only worry would be about them focusing ONLY on Champions like Evelynn. Or the infamous Ahri and her one hundred different skins.

I doubt so. That would mean they are marketing the game only to horny preteens, and it would mean I am correct in my worry that Riot is making a complete turn from what they were doing before and changing their views entirely.

And am I naive in thinking that if a game is good, fun and has good designs, then tits and ass are not really necessary to get players?

Season 6 consisted almost entirely of mature, clever releases but also marked a sharp decline in Riot's playerbase and they are determined to learn from it. I've spoken to their analytics people face to face (okay, via Skype) and I can give you a mathematical proof that a game which aspires to last generations has to stay attractive to newer generations. As an adult I'm not too happy, but I compromise for two reasons:

  • The project and the ambition to outlive it's creators is admirable And
  • Mature designs will not cease: I guarantee Swain will be good writing, worldbuilding and art. There will be something for everyone.

Until an actual Rioter comes and openly tells me "well yeah, we decided tits sell more than thoughtful designs", allow me to be wary of your words.

Although so far the facts are proving you right: I did make a thread about how I feel this game has suddenly taken a turn to the juvenile and cliché.

But isn't it very hypocritical to spend all that time shouting "hey look we're modern, progressive, liberal and mature" and the suddenly, after a period of time, change and become the opposite of that? Not even a politician is that double-faced.

The moment they ruin Swain is the moment I leave League forever.

The existence of complex and original characters doesn't contradict that of cliche and primal ones the way the existence of thoughtful and liberal people doesn't contradict the existence of shallow ones. League aspires to be a multi-narrative story and hence isn't going to have a single message. Leave that to one-off indie games.

Swain's VGU is meant to be a treat for older bookish and lore-obsessed players. League has shown it can be mature and clever when it wants to and there is simply no reason to NOT want that with Swain.

I'm not judging until I see the Swain update.

But I know one thing: given what has Riot done in all of 2017, I am already preparing myself for the final disappointment.

I mean, in one year they managed to make me go from "Riot's designs are the best! I shouldn't spend more money on this game..... but I will!!" to "wtf is this? Wait, why am I playing this? Heck, make it why WAS I playing this".

Unfortunately that stuff is illegal although they have come close, e.g. see the entire Demacia and the Leona speech controversy. That said you can't really equate doing a common fantasy trope to encouraging neo-nazis. It's factually incorrect.

Just let me get it straight: you're honestly saying that if it weren't illegal, Riot should also cater to neonazis so they cater to everyone ever?

Because it's a weird way to try to defend your point when I demonstrate that catering to everyone is WRONG.

Make up your mind already Riot, but let me know if I'm supposed to play this game or not because this transiction phase League is undergoing (from "original" to "anime memes") is keeping me on the fence on wether I should play it or uninstall it. Because Riot has been announcing variety in female design and mature concept ideas, and now they're doing the exact opposite of what they had promised and delivered in the past.

We'll see.

Yep, I've decided to use the Swain rework as what will make me decide if I have to keep following League and hope for a return to the glory days of the game's art, or if I should forget it and only focus on Heroes Of The Storm (which I am kinda already starting to do, since it's producing varied and diverse characters even among all those same-looking orcs).

Just let me get it straight: you're honestly saying that if it weren't illegal, Riot should also cater to neonazis so they cater to everyone ever?

Essentially I'm saying making a few comic relief characters to appeal to younger audiences isn't as bad as catering to neo-Nazis and there is a solid body of research backing it.

Because it's a weird way to try to defend your point when I demonstrate that catering to everyone is WRONG.

It's also wrong to demand that Riot caters to you and you only.

The rest of your post is ranting that I somewhat agree with but should be sent to Riot support, not to me.

Ok, so it's the comparison ad absurdum: we can cater to sexism and to horny anime-loving brats because at least we're not catering to nazis.

This just in: we can murder a thief because at least we're not murdering babies.

Listen, I'm angry at Riot not catering to me because for two straight years they made their advertisment point to loudly proclaim they were gonna make cool, original, diverse designs. Blame Riot for luring me in for so long and then suddenly switch to the exact opposite.

That being said, I'm still giving them the benefit of doubt, if only because a company that made good designs for so long can't REALLY suddenly turn to anime shit.

I'm waiting to see how they will ruin Swain before uninstalling. On the plus side, the kind of people who dwell on this forum will be glad to see me leave.

(P.S. "contact Riot support"??? AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH..... sorry, sorry, I thought you were making a joke! Buddy, the one and only way to get heard by Riot is this forum. I know they read what I wrote, and I know they saw behind my angry attitude and understood the point I'm making behind the rude behaviour.)

You seem awfully bitter.

Also, you seem to undergo the illusion that your views on what is "mature, clever, thoughtful, etc." is the ONLY definition of those terms, and anybody who disagrees is a 14-year old horny teen.

No, just no. You aren't the person who decides what designs are good and which aren't, so stop acting like it.

LunSeiSleidee1 votes

Sorry to break it up to you, buddy, but the world is not relative. Truth is, there are facts. There is black and white, good and evil, yin and yang etc.

Which means that my definition of an immature design is not mine, it simply IS the definition of an immature design.

Evelynn and Kayn are examples of immature designs, clearly aimed at a young demographic. Fact, not opinion.

So what is a mature design by comparison? Maybe Taliyah (visually), maybe Tahm Kench (storywise).

Tahm is a traditional trope much like Evelynn or Kayn, but it's the delivery which makes him mature: it goes back to a clever study of fairy tales and their structure; it proposes an analysis of human nature.

Taliyah is the classic trope of the young hero, but her design is mature. Here is a design that makes her realistic while keeping the toon style, and here is a design whose themes are "rock sparrow", which is not something so easy to pull off visually.

Evelynn or Kayn lack this. They are immature. They are very simple and not unique and do not hold any deep meaning or visual study.

The fact that you have the audacity to say that your definitions of immature designs are the end-all-be-all the textbook definition of design, is more immature than the attitude you have towards anime and shows your ignorance.

The thing that you may not understand completely, buried in your books in all that, is that there is a thing called subjectivity. Facts exist, but not how you describe.

1+1 = 2 is a fact.

You aren't cutting the grass the way I like it, so it's terrible. Is not a fact. It is an OPINION.

Your thoughts on champ designs are OPINIONS, and everybody has them. You have every right to have OPINIONS, but don't try to pass them off as fact. Because they are not facts.

There are a billion reasons the playerbase could have declined in Season 6; players dissatisfied with the gameplay for example, which is a huge subject all by itself containing a million smaller reasons, maybe tanks were too weak or too strong, who knows? Maybe Worlds sucked last year. Maybe their favorite Champion was nerfed? Who knows?? And something tells me an analytics team at Riot understands that it wasn't just lack of tits that Season 6 saw decline.

I have heard from Riot--like an actual Riot developer, not some random guy on Boards who claims to have Skyped with a Rioter--that they are tending more towards Champion reworks and VGUs because players seem equally interested in reworks as they are in new Champions, so next year we are to expect roughly 50-50 of both VGUs and new Champions. Which means yeah, they'll probably update old Champs for the newer generation of League players and yes, they will eventually get to the sexy Champions and most of them will probably remain sexy grills.

Who cares really..they're getting rid of Evelynn the 'Mystique' champ and replacing her with a Succubus they're calling 'Evelynn'. There's no reason not to make a new champion and keep Evelynn and actually giver her a rework rather than a replacement. They did the same thing with Galio...completely changed the kit, playstyle, and identity...and they're basically doing it again. I'm sorry...keeping hate spike is not good enough to warrant this as a rework. I don't even play Evelynn...I just know Rito's taking a poor direction here.
