Is it some sort of meme that people are saying Kayle is over sexualized?

She looks cool as fuck and she's wearing armor from head to toe? I dont get why people are saying she's "wearing spandex" and "again and again sex sells ruined another one" Like seriously, people are calling it a "bodysuit" and it's legit full plate armor.

You guys need to fucking relax lmao.

This kinda seems like everyone REALLY over-exaggerating random shit that doesn't make sense just to make Riot seem like the bad guy lol.

Good shit tho Riot new Kayle and Morgana look really cool, im excited to see them in game.

It's not a meme, it's just a really, really poor argument. She's not oversexualized in any way. Hell, she's not even sexualized at all. They didn't change her personality, they probably barely changed her lore, she doesn't have any skins showing egregious amounts of skin, and her current armor set is still.. just an armor set.

But when armor or clothing is fitted to someone's body? Someone who's meant to fly around and be nimble? Unheard of, absolutely disgusting, an oversexualized disgrace. Apparently altering the design of someone's armor is the same as making the person the equivalent of Ahri's Korean death sound. (NSFW)

I mean technically she is wearing armor on her head, and on her toes. She just skips a large section in between.

Like seriously, people are calling it a "bodysuit" and it's legit full plate armor.

Uh... no. No it's not. You can say you like the design, that's fine, but she absolutely isn't wearing full plate armor.

It's not full plate, but it's not too far off from the amount of armor Kayle had previously, either. The big difference is the tassets being less pronounced (probably due to the wing designs of her cuisse/thigh plates), the absence of the big metal diamond-shaped belt-buckle, and probably the absence of her tabard (loincloth?).

I think people for the most part are just frustrated that the armor aesthetically looks different (isn't 1:1 exactly the same as old Kayle).

My only real gripe is that it looks like she loses her gorget/collar plate when she ascends.

With or without it, though, I'm looking forward to seeing her skins, and Morgana's.

Here's a (very) quickly done idea on how I think her armor could be better represented than how it currently is. Basically:

Give the armor depth so it doesn't just look like a design on her skintight suit
Give the cuirass a more standard shape
Add some kind of belt so her abdomen doesn't look so naked (and so her tassets are actually attached in some way)
Slight tonal change to remove the weird green tint she has

Optionally the addition of some kind of tabard or third fauld over her groin to better represent her original design and to break up the bare pelvic region.

Everything in this world would be pretty cool if we didn't take a closer look.
