Riot, please let your female champs be muscular
I already had some thoughts about this but especially so now that the new Akali is out. Just look at the difference between the new Akali splash, a character that is literally a ninja with huge metal weapons she carries around, and Varus
To be fair, Varus being muscular, specifically in his upper-body makes sense with having to constantly draw his crazy bow but that doesn't negate my point. I've seen some people complain about same face syndrome and stuff in the art community and even on the boards but I'm thoroughly more concerned with Riot's 'same physique syndrome'.
I'm not here to demand an overweight female champ as a Gragas counterpart, I would love to see the physiques of female champs to better reflect their lore and roles in the game. Keep the mages as dainty as you want but why does Leona look physically weaker than a squishy like Varus, Draven or Kayne and not more like her ally Pantheon? They have the same upbringing, even dueled each other for hours and remained even in skill and strength, and both received power at the top of mt Targon. Despite all this Leona looks like she could barely lift her shield while Pantheon looks like he could throw his spear to the top of mt Targon without trying.
It seems as though riot just doesn't put out female champs in the gray area between every other female champ and Illaoi. That's just my onion though.
is pretty damn buff in case you didn't notice ;)
should be like three times as wide with no neck by this logic. You have
.
looks great now. Can you please stop? It’s okay to have a few attractive champs. You also have non sexual skinny chicks like
and a suite of yordles.
