Riot cannot win with designing female champions...

If they release a sexy one, it's objectification.

If they release a plain one, it's boring.

If they release one with a non-traditional body type, they're pandering to SJWs.

If they release too many, they are pandering to the male gaze.

If they release not enough, they're marginalizing women.

Riot, just do us all a favor and give us content filters on the boards so I don't have to hear this crap every time you decide to release or rework a champion with two X chromosomes...

Your best way is to just ignore or outright blacklist these people, for they are just looking for something to complain about and rarely will bring anything interesting to the table.

Here's a radical idea

Instead of trying to design to appeal to a specific group, they should just design a character based around the character they want to design.

Designing your entertainment to pander to specific groups usually doesn't work out.

What I can't stand are the people who are satisfied with things. Don't they know that everything is wrong??

People on these forums always find something to complain out.

Tbh it just doesnt even matter let riot design the champions on how they see fit so what if some female champions are sexy this is almsot as bad as one guy complaing about how since tracer showed a little bit of butt in overwatch

and they equally objectify the male characters in the game as well soooo yeah Urgot i mean just look at his sexy body

It's not so much pandering as creating or recreating a character that a person in the audience can really relate to. Despite Taric not being confirmed as gay, he has some gay affectations that gay people can connect with; Same goes with characters like Illaoi, Sona, Kench, etc. Characters who aren't Barbie and Ken look-a-likes actually already have a depth to them because they are relatable to people, because people in general are more diverse than hourglass figures and v-shaped chests. After that, personality makes them even more relatable.

...so which one is this one? I'm inching towards pandering to SJW's. But this chick is less "non-traditional body type" and more "hit in the face by steamroller"...
