Meanwhile there are still no black female champions

League of Legends director: LGBT characters will appear in the game 'at some point'

I already know all of the racist trolls will be here to argue that race is irrelevant but that does not negate the fact that there is representation of every race for both genders except a black female champ. It may not matter to you but it does matter to someone and I personally don't care if you don't like black women and don't care about how black women/people feel. Black women deserve a champion, it is long overdue and can be done tastefully with respect. There is absolutely no excuse at this point. If they are aware that they have a following with the LGBT community, they are fully aware that they also have following that would celebrate a completely diverse and inclusive champion pool.

Yeah, the reason I go into a game it's because I want to play someone who looks EXACTLY like me.

Ah, the League represents me so well KogMaw Urgot AurelionSol Brand Pyke

Um, what? Illaoi Nidalee Taliyah Karma

And these are literally four DISTINCT racial archetypes of a black woman.

Please, delete this and keep your race-baiting to yourself.

Oh yeah, let's not forget Evelynn and Fiddlesticks. They're black women too.

FUCK OFF FIDDLESTICKS CAN BE WHATEVER HE WANTS TO BE AND HE WANTS TO BE A STRONG BLACK WOMAN WHO DON'T NEED NO BONES TO TELL HIM HOW TO LIVE.

What do you think about Taliyah and Karma though? Closest things we've got so far.

Why do people think Karma is indian? I think she can look both african and indian, as how you want to see her. Completely depending on your perspective. Who did say she is indian?

Even though I know skins are not canon, Karma is clearly BLACK here. And if we are going from her base splash art, it is not clear because her eyes are looking down or closed.

And I would say searching for completely black and asian champions in LoL is almost impossible either. Every single black and asian champions are kinda "caucasian'ed" and carry white features in LoL (and most of western games).

Yasuo definitely doesn't have the average japanese man head shape and has a nose with high nasal bridge.

Saying https://www.mobafire.com/images/champion/icon/ahri.png looks like average asian woman is delusional too. She is clearly your whitened asian girl with many white features.

So, don't expect an average black woman, ever, in LoL. What you should expect is Rihanna, not Oprah Winfrey.
