Cute female enchanters are a trope, please stop doing it.

I get that it probably sells for some people, but with 140 some odd champs already in the game and most of the enchanters being female it would have been nice to see riot break from that mold with this new character. Instead we are getting a cat? I just hope her kit is fun at this point.

It's interesting that outside of marksman and support role where female champs are in the lead... there is always more male champs in the other roles but NOONE is concerned about that... lol.

We have two handsome/cute male enchanters. The thing is, it's really weird to make a healer who's ugly or evil-looking. It just doesn't fit thematically.

Granted, they COULD have gone the route of Abathur, and made the champion some kind of magical parasite that benefits the host, but they've gotta think about appeal too. A strange, parasitic monster kind of has to be ugly, and the new visual theme for the game kind of limits the amount of ugly allowed in a design.
