Many people are missing the point on Qiyana's design

I read about people complaining that she's too similiar to Shurimans, she's oversexualized, and on the other side people who say she's fine and try to justify character diversity between male and female characters in LoL.

And the more I think about it, the more I realize everything about this character can be riassumed in this video I posted in the thread.

The real point is: she is BORING. It's sadly true that they miss a lot of opportunity to give female characters various body types, they are almost all the same, with some HIGHLY APPRECIATED exceptions. But that's not the only thing, the faces are also pretty much the same, with few characters stepping aside from the pretty face (or nice tits and butts) syndrome. Almost all the female characters in this game have the hourglass shape, which is ok from a design perspective since it allows you to properly discern male from female models, and it's also ok to have sexualized characters in the game, nothing wong with that. The real problem is when a character's identity, background and lore doesn't by any means require that character to be attractive or have certain body shapes, instead it suggests you that the character is going to be slim/imposing/athletic/roundy and you still give it the stereotypical female LoL character look.

Now, her lore and everything isn't out yet, but since she's an high mobility AD melee assassin, that wields a big ass metal hoola hop, I'm expecting a rather muscular character, something on the looks of or (from Awaken), but instead we got this girl withhout the slightest arm muscle and with an hourglass shape that makes her look like she's going to break if she uses that weapon as a pro per Hoola hop. She still has the same face syndrome even when we got some different characters in Shurima, such as but even {{champion:15} to some extent.

We have pretty neat female characters in which Riot took that little step to make them different from the standard and yet they are still compelling and attractive in some ways, and I expected way more from a woman from a new jungle faction than a standard female LoL character with weird hairstyle.

TL;DR: Watch the video and give TB Skyen some love. Also, female champion designs can be compelling even if they don't align with the LoL canons of beauty.
