I completely understand. However, if you want League of Legends to eventually be marketed to everyone, you may need a bit more censoring. All you really need to do is replace anything that could be offensive or controversial to anyone with something less threatening. Baby chickens are pretty safe. Here are some suggestions:
as per request
That's animal abuse. All champions now wield Peeps candy.
Ziggs is throwing poor little animals. Reported for animal cruelty.
I don't agree with the high levels of scantly clad and naked males in this game, please put some more clothes on: 
and 
. There are too many nip slips for my taste and they aren't allowed in my region.
But seriously, I miss Grave's cigar :(
Eldritch hellspawn from a hungry dimension that lurks where you can't see her and devours the unfortunate passerby? Fine. Cute girl who plays music, wears a semi-modest dress, and has a large bust? Horribly indecent, censore that ASAP.
Champions shamelessly promote serial killing, insanity, sociopathic tendencies, and improper bomb disposal methods? Meh. Sure. Gragas supporting drinking? Inappropriate for kids! They need to perform healthy All-American activities like watching the Super Bowl. Oh. Wait...
People getting massacred, literally loved to death, kama'd, messing with bulls, getting terminally depressed, getting frostbitten by an ice storm, meeting Tibbers, getting arrowed, stabbed, grabbed, set on fire a few dozen times, smashed in the face, headshotted, petrified, messily devoured, airstriked, dunked, mooned by an attractive female, going where Mundo pleases, DRAAAAAAAAAVEN, getting spiderbitten, shanked by a scantily clad woman, blasted by an explorer, crowed by the scarecrow, dueled, sharked, taunted by a gargoyle, shanked again, JUSTICE... ified, *GNAR!*ed, drunk, shot up by a bounty hunter, terrified to death, drone-striked, shanked again, left breathless, dead in a ditch, getting bopped, shot at, shot at then rocketed, speared (by their allies), Karma being a [censored], defiled by an old dude, silenced by a transhuman assassin, shanked yet another time, getting on the wrong side of justice, struck by lightning, riddled with spikes, vomited on, deceived cruelly, kicked violently into each other, hit by solar flares, frozen in an icy tomb, shot yet again, hugeified, lasered, body-slammed, getting space-AIDS, discovering why pollution is bad kids, getting curbstomped by one one guy, getting shock-and-awed, forcibly resurrected and tortured into obedience, getting their soul snared, deluged in a tidal wave, getting their soul eaten, smashed with an anchor, talking about mating season with a cougar, facing their worst nightmare, yeti'd, axe-murdered, mercilessly slaughtered by a clockwork killing machine made from the memories of an innocent girl, shield -bopped, tackled, eye-gouged, spiked, ambushed from below, ambushed from plain sight, ambushed from the bush, shanked by the wind with a sword (that makes sense), immolated with napalm, imprisoned, flash-frozen, Joker'd, ninja'd, dragon'd, gassed by a mad scientist, slaughtered to empower an undead juggernaut, crossbladed by a desert cutthroat, impaled by a giant scorpion, rent asunder by music, hit by a literal falling star, shredded by a crow demon, hit with a wave of overwhelming dark power, shanked in the back, smashed in the face with a hammer, meeting Satan, having their souls damned to eternal imprisonment, having an explosive charge detonated directly above their heads, trolled, raged at, cheated, shot at by a deranged plague rat, beaten up by a big wild dude with a beard, spiked by Executioner Robocop, ensnared by a dude's long tendril, killed by a werewolf hunter, deleted by the master of evil, disintegrated, assaulted and battered, zapped by a cyborg, exsanguinated, roared at, mauled by a werewolf, cudgeled in the face, mortared magically, knocked up, kept up, gruesomely resurrected by a gravedigger, slimed by the green goo monster, marked for death, fire-bombed, time-bombed, and stepping on a lot of thorns... is apparently okay. But Sion showing some bones is 2edgy5theinternet.
Thing is there are several levels of taboos. If I make a movie and don't want gore in it so that I can target a wider audience,does that mean that I need to make a kids-movie with no violence at all?
No. Cigars are a big problem in some countries and its easy to get them out of the game,but the same can't be said about bombs,alcohol,guns,swords and taric.
you forgot all the overly revealing champions
and their skins.
ex:
to name a few
Please, a chicken covering eve's scantily clad body is in order too.
less threatening. Baby chickens are pretty safe.
You sir, haven't played enough Legend of Zelda.
Old McZiggs had a farm, Ee i ee i oh! And on that farm he had some chickens, Ee i ee i oh! With a boom-boom here, And a boom-boom there
Here a boom, there a boom, Everywhere a boom-boom Old McZiggs had a farm Ee i ee I KABOOOOOM!!!!!
I now want there to be a Farmer Ziggs skin, Explosive Chickens for the win!!!
hypocrisy is real.. like wtf is this
where is the face of taric whit a bird on it ?
How can you guys downvote this? Tsk tsk.
I think you made Cho more terrifying.
Naaah. Gragas drinks grape soda! Not beer. Also, ziggs throws tomatoes! and gangplank is carrying a water gun, and chogath is a beautiful man you racist racist bastard.
I like to throw Mini Azirs at people.
Banned due to overwhelming usage of male virility.
Gragas looks like he's defending that baby chicken from the rest of the bar.
Killing people with shotguns is perfectly acceptable but smoking is bad, mkay?
Still waiting for skeletons to make a comeback.
Stop favoring China over everyone else, Riot. 
Peoples... this has to do with exclusively legal reasons (generally promoting smoking use to children; LoL being able to maintain a Rated "T" for Teen rating by ESRB without content descriptor of "Use of Tobacco" being added) and NOTHING to do with "regional preferences".
This thread is of the Bronze Level of Intellectual Understanding of 21 Century Earth Civilization.... get better educations in schools or elsewhere please before making stupid posts here...
Some of us perhaps weren't even born yet when games such as "The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" was sued (and Nintendo caved twice in undisclosed settlements) for issues such as:
So please... stop making retarded posts here in this thread trashing RIOT. Losers file fake lawsuits like candy every day in attempts to get a fast settlement, and even if video game companies win, they usually spend far more in legal fees because their opponents are bankrupt (and generally) single moms "against video game violence" with no assets or otherwise.
Indeed it is so...
A little late, but the cigar thing was beyond retarded. Just change the art in the 3 places that dislike it, and stop fucking with everything else. If they didn't like that, well they should stop having double standards with allt he rest of the champs. Censor everything if you are gonna censor something so stupid, stop half-assing everything.
Did they remove the cigar from Gragas Esq yet?
Chicken Cho'Goth is amazing.
This isn't about Riot's opinion... It's about certain laws in other countries. As in, Riot wouldn't be allowed to have the game in certain countries if that stayed in. If you hate that, you should start hating on countries like Uruguay and their anti-tobacco laws.
If you just wanted to include some funny photoshops, kudos. I don't mean to drag down the party. They are funny. But there is a real reason that they needed to do that for their game to be available in some regions.
