Oh look! Star Guardian Skins. What? Janna is portrayed as a badass veteran in it? Maybe...

No.

They oversexualized her. Again. A story to make her the most decent member of the team but what does it matter if she looks like a cheap whore in-game and nothing like Janna on the splash art? Riot, you keep changing her face every time! The Classic one is bad enough but this is a completely new kind of a face..beautiful but not her anymore.

I just wish they reverted that damn splash rework. I don't know who made up that 40 year old elf but they should be fired as that feels like a personal insult to me. Regardless, i'm very disappointed. The skin itself looks predictable in-game. Only the Splash looks high quality despite not being her at all.

I feel like she was given a new skin without actually caring about her theme. "Whatever, just put something on her that is Support-y and that'll do."

She's supposted to be a leader. A Guardian indeed but not someone who is known for her /joke.

I mean her background is literally about having magical wind powers from an unknown source and growing up using her wits to survive.

She doesn't have a role in the lore even because she's not a poster-character and doesn't have anything flashy in her kit.

Waited 3 years (Fnatic doesn't count) for a skin and this happens. Yeah, i'll stay with Forecast cuz it actually has clothes on that don't make her look like a floating sex joke. I expected this and i'm still angry.

This is only my opinion as a near-pure Janna main. I'm just disappointed as hell that she was chosen for this crap.

...I guess you don't do anime.

Huh, I don't see how she's overly sexualized, in fact I feel all the Star Guardian skins are pretty modest.

Alrighty, so here's the thing: There is a difference between idealized and sexualized. Just about every champion in League, excluding animals and people like Gragas / Urgot, are extremely idealized. This means they are fit, often muscular (if male), and are the ideal image that most people want to be. For guys, this means a triangular figure, and huge upper body musculature. For a female, this means an hourglass or mostly-straight figure, with lumps of fat hanging around the chest and waist. So, yeah, Janna has always been an idealized champ.

As for sexualized? Well, her Forecast skin has huge boobs and cleavage showing. This skin has no cleavage showing, and is more covered than any other skin of hers. So, it's not really sexualized at all.

As for the schoolgirl outfit, well, yeah, it's based off anime. Ever watch Sailor Moon? It was probably a thing before you were even born. Very few people, if any, had issues with it. In fact, a lot of girls loved the show. And I still don't see how it's sexualized to wear a skirt.

So uh, yeah, let's stop being a troll, and just act like someone older than 12.
