I'm guenuinely disappointed every prestige skins gets announced, even more than before.
So much for gender equality
edit: looking at the thread score and the comments, I learned a valuable lesson: it's only sexism if feminity is the one of the two who's at a disadvantage, never the opposite... /s
Maybe because they are popular and directed to whalers that actually do pay money ?
Male equality doesn't exist. That's only for women, just like sexism doesn't work for man.
They chose champions that make the most money (in most cases), female champs they chose just happen to be better sellers.
Well legendary skins don't get Prestige editions, because they're expensive/special enough as is, so there goes Rakan, Zed, Jhin, and Pyke. The Hextech skins are also special, so there goes J4 and Rammus. I also believe that Prestige has to be tied in with an event/special release of some sort, so there goes Nunu, Ivern, Nocturne, Veigar, Udyr, Varus, Shen, and Galio. The rest just... Aren't really Prestige worthy IMO.
for what it's worth, we'll be getting thresh and lee sin by the end of the year. but there are still 3 more female prestige skins before that happens.
At least they're hot ngl....except for Lux

It's the "lessons" the "red-pillers" want you to believe. "Red-pill" for its nice sounding name, it's just the euphemism for self identified misogynists; supposedly "seeing the truth" just means hating women in their worldview, how sad and short-sighted lmao.
Make no mistake. Do these people actually give a shit about men related issues, such as being discriminated in traditionally female dominated industry, men have disproportionally high all around death rate due to their cultural unwillingness to seek both physical and mental help, etc? No, of course not.
Your average red-piller only actually cares enough about male related issues to use it as ammunition against women and any discussion about women related issues. "But what about men?" is often toted not because they genuinely feels men are left out and they're trying to do something.
Because firstly, men aren't left out and we now KNOW the issue is less about a lack of funding but more about men CHOOSE TO NOT USE THE HELP in a problem rooted in culture created by men and enforced by fellow men that demands them to not seek help. Is it women who tells men to "suck it up" for every issues any man encounters, forcing them to bottle it up until they break? Obviously not. It's your father, your male classmate, your co-workers, your male friends, who are all too concerned about the supposed unbreakable image of manhood, at the complete cost of all men and their health.
Secondly, these people, the supposed "red-pillers", they sure as shit don't give a rat's ass about how male issues came about and how we should tackle it, they don't fund nor participate in any of of the events that attempt to do something about male related issues where many of which are ultimately supported and funded by feminists individuals or organisations (even the research into men related issues are done by feminists). All they do is using male-centric issues as punchlines for their detestable agenda that begins and ends with hating on women and quite literally nothing else, they don't actually give a shit about it.
I'm extremely certain that if you, let's say a man, was raped and you somehow decide to go onto the "red-pill" platform to tell them about it to vent your frustration of being a victim of a crime. They will laugh at you and tell you to fuck off and "man up". Incidentally, a male victim is suddenly of use and only ever brought up when they're in a conversation of a female rape victim in order to tell them to shut up.
That's all you need to know about how supposedly valuable their "lessons" are.

Also, rising misogyny is also correlated with the rise of far right extremism. In fact, it's more than a correlation.
The reason being, similar to misogyny, far right is a system of belief that is ultimately rooted in an unending fear and hatred of others; misogyny is just 1 aspect of the far right belief system.
As a result, in order to warm the water enough for people to embrace wholesome to far right beliefs, the far right recruitment goons thus employ spreading misogyny as the crucial first step into their doors.
There is a reason why today's spread of misogyny involves some grandiose conspiracy theory about "SJW" or whatever as opposed to the traditional misogyny where it was just about women being inferior to men. That is not a coincidence, either. Guess what else uses a lot of conspiracy theory to paint their worldview? Oops, it's the far right, isn't it? Damn it. It's that way precisely because it's used to slowly training the unsuspecting audience into normalising the kind of core essence far right is about and to slowly start to view the world in terms of the conspiracy theory goggles as the far righters do.
Yeah I guess you need to somehow swallow down "SJW" before you're comfortable enough to swallow the fucking "Jew plot" shit. Sneaking bastards.
There is a reason why there is such a big overlap between "red-pillers" and the now growing far right radicals. Most of the latter started as the former, after all. It's pipeline of indoctrination of anti-intellectualism of a completely manufactured worldview as they exercise nothing but meaningless hate.
.........
I am extremely compelled to leave this here even though I'm VERY certain it will fall to deaf ears but I have to do this.
So much of the gaming circle is now gradually sinking into the far right shit. And just like everything else mentioned here, it's NOT a coincidence either.
Gamers are extremely vulnerable to the propaganda, especially the FAR RIGHT propaganda, for the following reasons:
There is a reason why in US for instance, the military complex is also partially responsible for actually funding games like CoD. And it's also the reason why CoD is filled with bizarre nationalistic narratives, because that's the actual purpose of the game: To eventually make a player want to join the military while holding some utterly cartoonish worldview. And it works perfectly, and it's extremely dangerous.
That's the EXACT same game being played by the far right wingnuts, barring that they don't usually fund games per se but they nonetheless use random shit as a spingboard to bait the unsuspecting into swallowing up their bullshit, little by little. Today they will teach you how to hate women, next day the people of different ethnic backgrounds, and before then they would tell you all about the supposed great replacement and the jewish plot to destroy the world or some utter bullshit.
I am officially, SICK AND TIRED of watching a boat sink as gamers time and time again pretend they're some wise guys immune to all political influences while falling for the worst players in the stack, as people suck up their lies like they actually want to be fooled. I'm also SICK AND TIRED of seeing gaming gradually become a recruitment procedure of the nationalist needing hitmen in other nation's soil or exploited by outright fucking Nazis (on top of the gradual irrelevance of actual gameplay and experience, as everything slowly becomes a "live service" with games as a bait to sell you other shit than actual product you purchase to have a good time with. But that's for another day).
I am just sick of all of this shit.

prestige is still fairly new and it started off with a female pop group. what are you expecting?
I bet a fortune they are already working on a prestige skin for Ezreal and another one for Yasuo
And when they do give it to males we get Prestige Pulsefire Thresh
Yipee...
Threah and leesib are gonna be getting prestiges soon sooo. Ur not wrong, but hopefully rito will alliviate the disparity soon
The new champion is gonna be female too.
Well, sure, because guys play a bunch of league anyway, and ladies feel more of a connection. Also, guys don't really do the whole gold glitz glamour thing too well. Guys doing it would probably look gaudy as hell. Or would you prefer some sort of prestige Rakan/Ezreal just for the tokenism?
Thresh and Lee sin are getting some later this year. So there's at least SOME more males included there.
Forced diversity is tyrannical. They pick what will sell.
i thought prestige skins were the most blatant a cash grab could possibly get
high play rate champions with high skin sale rates getting a gold chroma (probably less than half an hour of work for a single employee) is the fuckin JACKPOT
despite how much i hate them, i hope whoever came up with them got a raise
