On their new Q&A Riot said that they might change champions that are apparently ovesexualized for no reason,like Miss Fortune. But I think that it wouldn't be ok,an Artist created that drawing,that's how they want them to be,how they've always been and how we love those champs. Some of those changes would actually be wrong! Let's take Miss Fortune for example: Miss Fortune used to CHARM other captains with her beauty,so it does makes sense that she's dressed like that. So riot,pls #FreeMissFortunesTits(and other's)

It's fine for MF to be attractive.

Thing is, that's not her only character trait.

She's a beauty and a charmer for sure, but she's also tough, vengeful, a stone-cold killer, and a bona fide bad-ass.

Her current look screams "Pirate themed prostitute". It could be very easily improved to show traits other than "she's hot".

I think Riot just needs to think more about the character they are trying to create. There's nothing wrong with sexy, or having most champions be sexy, as long as it doesn't take away from the design.

For example, Kai'Sa. She looks amazing, but they could have done SO much with her character if they didn't try to make her sexy. They could have made her rugged, they could have shown how strong and brave she is, how she spent her life fighting on her own in the Void. Instead she's a kind of absent personality and a boob window. She doesn't look like she spent her childhood/teenage years fighting for her life, after losing everything. Again, I still think she's amazing, but it was a huge missed opportunity to push that concept IMO.

Another example I've seen is Ashe. Again, her design is great! She looks amazing...but she's from the Freljord, the "harsh and unforgiving land" of ice - running around in a skimpy dress. Just doesn't make much sense, at least to me. It would at least be interesting to see a concept of her in more weather appropriate clothes. :D

I've said this on Reddit but I'm fine with champs like MF, Elise, Evelynn, etc. who have sex appeal as part of their gimmicks. (MF is even debatable at this point, though.) With Sona it's just how she chooses to wear that dress - it's her choice whether she shows off her impressive bust. Nidalee's pretty much a feral woman so realistically she wouldn't be wearing a lot. Janna is questionable, she's a spirit now so the answer as to what she should be wearing is a big ol' missing ping. But Katarina, Ashe, Caitlyn, Kai'Sa, etc. - that's the type of stuff that's not OK. Sex appeal is NOT part of their characters. So it shouldn't be part of their outfits.

For MF, not changing her makes sense.......her sexuality is a part of her character.

But take Katarina.......or Syndra. Could they be attractive? Sure, but there's no need to have them sexualized the way they are.

Apparently?

Miss Fortune literally started as what was basically a porn character. None of what was officially written about her was all that far removed from what one would read on literotica.

Miss Fortune spills into the Great Hallway with the same tenacity that she spills into her silk blouse - both taxed to contain her.

This is the first line of her old judgement before Riot got rid of the IoW.

But I think that it wouldn't be ok,an Artist created that drawing,

Stop. You don't care about artistic vision, you care about masturbation material.

A change to MFs design wouldn't really be that extreme for the simple fact that her character is vastly different than what she started off as.

Well. They better cover ever male champ body fully as well. And remove every image that shows them having a six pack. It's been fine for the past little while to have overly sexualized male champs but not female. Heck it's a game, stop bringing real life crap into it. If people are happy looking at eye candy, male or female, let them. If I wanted to look at a representation of normal, I would look out my window or in the mirror not in LoL

Yeah. With champions like Sona or Nidalee I would get it. But, with MissFortune ? Her sexuality is kind of part of her identity as a character. It would make no sense to expand her personality on the lore, only then to limit it in her game model.

Are you fucking kidding me? Riot is not bending their will to Feminazis? IF Riot does that, they are going to lose so much. Look what happened to overwatch. Riot I believe you are smarter than this.
