Booty got buffed, you can't really go wrong with that.

booty buffs and boobie buffs, the only buffs the community can agree on .__.

No there's always those people that complain Riot oversexualizes and would probably prefer everyone wear as much armor as Mordekaiser because that's realistic. (If I wanted realism I would walk outside)

Kitty Darkstar16 votes

I'd prefer everyone armored like Mordekaiser over the nudity a lot of the champs seem to be displaying. I understand the freedom of choice, but having about 90% of the female characters sexualized is too much. Too much for it to seem like the character's choice.

B1naryB0t12 votes

You do understand male characters are also oversexualized. Braum is pretty much the man's man, extremely buff, large, giant mustache. Hell, Ryze is a researcher built like a body builder.

I like it more this way simply because it allows for visual diversity. If everyone was completely ironclad then it'd be boring.

There is Ezreal who seems fine, and I don't think Azir is all that muscular....

But you're right, I can name as many (maybe more) properly dressed female champions as male ones. Leona and Riven , for example.

The big thing that annoys me here is the Frejlord characters who are topless BraumTryndamere or improperly dressed Ashe Sejuani Olaf Even Lissandra is hardly wearing anything

Gunpoint10 votes

The only thing Lissandra show's is her face, and her arms, she "The Ice Witch" do you actually think she needs a coat? And Sejuani is fully armored.

Kitty Darkstar1 votes

With Lissandra it's more a problem with the skins than the champ, which is bending my own rules. Sorry!

It's a fantasy game. This is not the real world. If you want to see a realistic, cold weather attire, then go to Alaska or the North Pole and watch the people there. This is just a game for crying out loud.

Kitty Darkstar5 votes

If I want to see realistic, cold weather attire, I just need to go outside and bring a mirror.

This so much.

Mughi of Ruckus1 votes

Hey, some of us like the badass, fur and armor frozen barbarian aesthetic. That's the reason I like Sejuani 's visual rework so much.

It's not that they are improperly dressed... they are making a statement to how tough they are. They are so tough to the cold that they don't need layers and fur. They have adapted to their environment and embrace the cold. At least, that's what I take away from it.

But back on the main topic... I've sorted the overly sexualized female characters to the more modest ones:

Sexual: Ahri Akali Ashe Caitlyn Cassiopeia Elise Evelynn Janna Jinx Katarina Leblanc MissFortune Morgana Nami Nidalee Shyvana Sivir Syndra Zyra

Modest: Anivia Annie Diana Fiora Irelia Kalista Karma Kayle Lissandra Leona Lulu Lux Orianna Poppy Quinn RekSai Riven Sona Sejuani Soraka Tristana Vayne Vi

Some are borderline either side... I based my decision on how the characters were dressed/portrayed. Like for example, Sona has a big bust, but she wears a pretty traditional dress and isn't really that intentionally "exposed" aside from some cleavage... but I can see the cleavage being TOO emphasized so she might go in either category. Some of the modest champs have really emphasized bodies but are at least covered up... even if it's like skin tight outfits.

But I mean, again, this all depends on what you find modest or overly sexy or whatever... I'm defining it by showing skin for no other reason than to show skin. Like champs wearing bras/bikini tops or visible thongs or basically bondage gear.

Ahri being sexualized is kind of the point of her character, though.

Eh... I suppose, but it isn't necessary. Considering her Charm is a spell, it would work whether she was attractive or not. :p

Fiora and Vi not sexual??? you cray

Again, I based it on how much skin they are showing unnecessarily. Vi and Fiora are quite covered up, even if they have curvy bodies. They aren't wearing bikini tops with thong strings popping out of their pants.

Adapting to the cold is not something that happens when it's that cold. Believe me, I know about the cold.

I realize... but it's a fictional exaggeration.

You aren't going to adapt to cold weather just because you've lived in it your whole life though... especially when you aren't spending every day exposed to the elements. I'm sure you bundle up and put the heat on and everything... so there is no reason your body would like adapt to colder temperatures when you are using clothes and heat sources to keep it warm. :P

But again, these are fictional characters with magical abilities, so it's not unfair to say that some of them might have adapted to cold temps.

Having a shirt off does not necessarily mean a character is oversexualized or sexualized at all. Poses, facial expressions, settings, personality, all those go into what makes the difference between being sexual and just having a shirt off.

B1naryB0t3 votes

You do understand not every male has the muscles of Mr. Universe, correct? Or a mustache covering half his face? Those are sexualizing. And I'm okay with that, it's a game. The problem lies where others are not okay with that and whine about it.

Her hair color is still all wrong... why is it virtually identical to Vi's now... sad.

I'm also pretty sure her leg is broken.

patmax174 votes

yup, still needs work on that leg. Also, the left arm has something wrong, but I can't see what exactly :(

Pastramka3 votes

Why....

I expected comments like:

"ahm, actually in this bent pose we should see more cleavage, coz boobs should respond to gravity and fiziks and science and stuff" http://cdn.firstwefeast.com/assets/2013/05/16.gif

And all i got is you two.

Im just teasing :D. I don't mind the legs and arm, I think that they look ok under this viewing angle, in fact i think the perspective is captured excellently.

im just happy She is not a boy anymore.

Nagirah9 votes

She never was a boy, she was a horse. Anyway this was a great improvement. That twisted knee still bugs me, but otherwise it looks good.

junglerboy1611 votes

Her knee isn't twisted, that is actually how the muscles on your legs look when you have very low body fat/very strong legs. On my track team, almost every sprinter has legs that do that, because your quads, which are on the top/outside of your thighs bulks up from running, and the muscles directly above and to the inside of the knee also bulk up, leading to this curved appearance.

i would really love to have a summoner in the forums which is an artist and specializes in human anatomy and gives pro comments when discussions like this occur.

He can even work for Rito, I dont care...

Pryotra1 votes

Thank you for this.

As a runner, at least before my cactus incident, my legs look like a bigger version than this. Partly due to me being physically bigger than kat, partly because I likely did more running considering I can't shunpo. =/

Thing is, that knee looks like a smaller version of my knee. I see nothing wrong with it.

The lighting would brighten it up, yes, but the hue is still terribly wrong.

Her reddish-tint wouldn't become bright, bubblegum pink.

Sorry but it's not right, even in brilliant light.

junglerboy161 votes

The light is coming from a glowing pink portal, so I would hazard a guess that that is why it looks pink. It also looks far less pink than it used to.

The portal is from behind her though & area's that shouldn't be touched by its light are affected... again, completely unrealistic.

Oh god the splash looks so much better now, Riot actually listened.

I still think there's a little too much going on at once, but at least she doesn't look appalling anymore.

Konidias4 votes

Thought it would be fun to do the same for male champs:

Sexual: Alistar Brand Braum DrMundoGragas LeeSin Nasus Olaf Pantheon Renekton Rengar Ryze Sion Trundle Tryndamere Udyr

Modest: Aatrox Amumu Azir Blitzcrank Chogath Corki Darius Draven Ezreal Fiddlesticks Fizz Galio Gangplank Garen Gnar Hecarim Heimerdinger JarvanIV Jax Jayce Karthus Kassadin Kennen Khazix KogMaw Lucian Malphite Malzahar Maokai MasterYi Mordekaiser Nautilus Nocturne Nunu RammusRumble Shen Singed Shaco Skarner Swain Talon Taric Teemo Thresh TwistedFate Twitch Urgot Varus Veigar Velkoz Viktor Vladimir Warwick MonkeyKing Xerath XinZhao Yasuo Yorick Zac Zed Ziggs Zilean

The difference is pretty drastic. This time I based "sexual" off of shirtless muscular humanoid characters. Most male characters are actually monsters... there are tons... Cho, Fiddle, Fizz, Galio, Gnar, Hec, Karthus, Kass, Kha, Kog, Malphite, Mao Kai, Naut, Nocturne, Rammus, Skarner, Thresh, Twitch, Urgot, Vel'Koz, WarWick, Wukong, Xerath, Zak, etc....

I'm basing this off of them being not really human or yordle in appearance.

Modest: Varus Yasuo

Yasuo and Varus are clearly shirtless with scarves or tattered cloaks and body types that more straight females and gay males claim to appreciate over the massive muscleman archetype. They're still muscular, though. They've got dancer/gymnast builds.

Varus is basically naked. Those aren't pants on his legs :P
