Hi everyone.so i really like searching about how different groups of people are represented in video games,movies,books and other media.so i want to ask.do you feel that the game is inclusive?does it represent people of differrent ethnicities,gender,bodytype,sexuality,apearence or people with disabilities?i know its hard to talk about ethnicities in the game because runeterra its a whole other world but at least to make people of runeterra seem like a reflection of the real world people.a lot of location are based in real world already.in my personal opinion riot has make some big steps lately and i hope that will make more in the future! :) what dou you think?

Definitely is extremely diverse. We have males, females, both, neither, humans, monsters, animals, spirits, and though the demographics of Runeterra aren't the same as the real world, we've got Ionians, Shumirans, Demacians, Noxians, Piltoverians, Zaunians, and anyone in between. We got white people and dark people and shades of everything in between. Body types? Illaoi is a hulking female warrior priestess. Kalista is a lithe spear chucking coagulation of spirits. Zed is part-time shadow, part-time ninja. Annie's a little girl. Zilean is an old man that floats around because he probably can't run pretty fast. Rek'sai is a void land shark monster. Kindred is a floating wolf head and a dancing sheep. Zac is literally a blob. Garen's a buff male. Brand's a buff male...on fire. Maokai's a tree, Malphite's a rock. The list goes on and on.

tl;dr, Riot's really good at creating diversity in their champions, especially of late. They're determined to not make any two champions the same in identity or appearance (CLARITY!!!). It creates for a healthy mix of identities for their playerbase to choose from.

LoL is among the games with the biggest diversities, in my opinion.

As far as people with disabilities, we've got Lee and Rek who have the disability to see and Olaf who has the disability to give a fuck.
