Star Guardian Ezreal is not funny to anyone over 15 years of age

ryona··7 votes·7,679 views

I know that those ten and under playing this game might find Ezreal's effeminate appearance and homosexual jokes between Taric hilarious, and him getting a SG skin is fucking gold because he's girly, but still a guy and now he's gonna wear a skirt right? Laugh out loud, right?

It's not fucking funny at all. It's actually enraging this childish shit is what Soraka lost the SG skin for.

We don't even know the validity of the rumour.

And even if we assume it's indeed coming:

SG Ezreal is most likely not even going to wear shirts, who says he's going to in the first place? Considering in Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura where much of the inspiration of the SG skin line has come from, the male characters wear suits in them.

Secondly, even if he is wearing skirts or being effeminate or whatever, what's the big deal? Do you have issues with girls wearing jeans, too? Why so diehard on the gender stereotype? Can't Ezreal be a guy who likes to wears skirts, or just don't mind wearing them, or just don't conform to the traditional view of his gender, or just don't identify as male in 1 of his skin because skins are not canon most of the time anyway, etc etc etc? Is 1 skin or 2, or 1 character or 2 in the entire game that goes against the traditional gender archetype, or merely just not heeding it 100%, that much to handle?

idk man.

That is an awfully arbitrary age threshold you set.

This may be a bit out of topic but.... Can I borrow that Time Machine that you have?

You know... to see the skin actually in game before saying if it is funny or not (And bring dinosaurs to the 21th century just for fun)

If youve ever seen sailor moon (which this skin line is an homage for), he'll more than likely be a 'Tuxedo mask' reference not a girly skin.

Or even one of the outer Sailors - Sailor Uranus. Since Uranus is actually a male character within the manga/show, but his transformation, Sailor Uranus is female. It's really not surprising that Ezreal fits the bill for what Uranus actually looked like in the series.

Yeah, tbh, it's probably more based on Puella considering the colour schemes of the skins. If it were SM, Lux would've stayed blonde. A great homage nonetheless.

But the deal with Sailor Uranus (though it's stated more explicitly in the manga than in the TV show) is that she "is both male and female. A Guardian who possesses the strength of both genders", which seems to imply (at least to me) that she's a hermaphrodite more than "is male in untransformed state, female in transformed state".

Now there actually are male-transforms-to-female characters in Sailor Moon but those are the Sailor Starlights, who show up way later.

Though to return to the topic proper, I could see Ezreal getting a Tuxedo Mask Homage skin as part of that line or maybe something referencing the human forms of some of the Pretty Cure sidekicks.

... Or he could just be put into a Totally Not Kyubey onesie.

I'd like to add Ezreal's latest skin was merely a year ago on August.

It's fucking mindblowing he's getting another already.

MinaZer01 votes

he already has a debonair skin that has him in a tuxedo so who knows, maybe hes the first confirmed trans champion skin

Soraka is a bad candidate for the skinline anyway.

The big problem is that Soraka has goat-legs.

And regardless of the skin,soraka will always have goatlegs or a skirt that covers them. But magical girls are known to wear miniskirts,so covering them would look out of place,but a magical girl with goat legs would look even more out of place.

There are three issues with this argument:

  1. The Star Guardians already have Yordles as members of their team and even with the pinkened skin tones they still have some clearly inhuman features. "Doesn't look completely human" isn't a disqualifying element.

  2. If you felt like you had to cover for the goats legs in the narrative, you could easily make a reference to her normal lore of "got semi-cursed for breaking a rule" or "villain tried to corrupt her and failed but the attempt still left this visible mark on her transformed state."

  3. I think Monster Musume has taught us plenty of people are perfectly fine with "woman with monster lower halves".

GreenLore4 votes

1)Both yordles look like little girls with big fluffy ears.(not sure whats your problem with their skin-tones) Thats still pretty fitting for a magical girl.But a horn growing out of Sorakas forehead and goat legs are not.

2)By that logic you can turn cho'Gath into a star guardian,with the same justification(though at least it'd be funny in cho'gaths case). The important thing is that it would still look unfitting on the final result.

3)And is monster Musume a magical girl anime?No it isn't.

To be fair you can't really use that as much of an excuse, its not hard to just make her have normal feet ya know? I mean look at Blitz for crying out loud, he goes from having feet, to having a ball, to having a race car, to outright flying as his feet. Or Varus, he generally has goat feet as well but his heartseeker skin he has normal feet, why can't Raka?

GreenLore1 votes

Thing is that Blitz is a pretty top-heavy champ. What defines him is the shape of his upper body,which always has a round torso with a tiny head and huge hands.

Soraka doesn't have this.

And Varus has no goat feet.His legs may be mutated,but they still have the same silhouette as regular human legs,which is why it is ok to change them to regular legs if wanted.

But Sorakas legs have some rather abnormal proportions. If you changed those goat legs into human ones,then she'd have downright creepy long legs. http://www.lolking.net/models?champion=16&skin=0

Divine Soraka does not have goat legs.

GreenLore2 votes

Same goes for "order of banana soraka" and "reaper soraka",but thats because they all wear skirts to cover her legs.

And a long skirt is rather unfitting for a magical girl based skin(at least jinxs hotpants still show off her legs)

Placentas1 votes

Program technically doesn't have goat legs too.

I was just playin Devil's Adv really.

I want First Star Soraka Legendary skin not SG Raka.

GreenLore1 votes

Yeah first star does actually seem pretty fitting.

Though AurelionSol is also a good candidate for that. Or maybe both(soraka for the girls,Aurelion for the boys?)

In general I'm not even saying that she is impossible to use for the skinline,just that she isn't very well suited for the skin line.

Placentas1 votes

I think First Star would be a great skin for her, especially as a legendary. It would kind of be like her version of God Fist Lee Sin in a way. Very heavenly but powerful, basically Raka at her prime.

Also it would go in line with the inspiration that SG comes from - the whole super anime girl thing. SG seem very Matriarchal in hierarchy kinda like Sailor Moon so it would make more sense to be Raka than Sol imo.

I also want Sol to have more creative skins than other star themed skins. I want a Cosmic Candy Sol or something like that.

As for a SG skin for Raka, I don't think she should get one as one of the girls. There are better candidates for that. Even Annie is better.

I'm really out of right now so sorry if my thoughts are kinda disjointed lol

EZ solution! Just give Raka knee high boots!

GreenLore1 votes

Her legs would still be extremely long and disproportioned

Blekk2 votes

Who cares? If she has goat legs who cares? Does it matter? It's apart of her. In fact I HOPE that the skin team shows off the fact that she's different with some cool effect to her hooves or something, maybe wings on her knees? I don't know. Grow up, this game isn't about how sexually appealing every champion and their skins are.

GreenLore1 votes

I don't know how you get the impression that this is about sexyness. Its about fitting the theme. You can't make a serious star guardian rek'sai skin since she will never look like a magical girl,regardless of what the skin team does. And I thought that Soraka would be the same thanks to the proportions of her lower body and clothes.

But as it turns out,I was wrong and the skin team found a way to make it work and I'm glad that they were able to do it.

It's not meant to be a joke though, and the skin isn't even out or confirmed yet.

Sukishoo2 votes

Pretty much is confirmed though. The leak list has been pretty spot on with all skin releases, champions and reworks that have come up. So it's only a matter of time. The next set will be on Tuesday afterall, and we just gotta see which leaks are in it.

Still have Twitch, Fizz and Veigar for the Omega Squad Angelblade Riven / Demonblade Yasuo Star Guardian Ezreal and Syndra

GreenLore1 votes

Well they might still scrap it. I mean remember what happened to the sewn chaos skins?Those were pretty much finished,before they got scrapped.

Sukishoo4 votes

They were removed because they didn't meet the standards, however its been very rare that they have cancelled skins right before release.

GreenLore1 votes

Yeah,but the leak did not happen "right before release",it happened over a month ago and the star guardian skins might even take another month until they come out(we still have the omegasquad and the angel/demonblade skins left so it might take a while until we get the star guardian skins).

Sukishoo2 votes

I mentioned those other skin in the original statement but what I meant is that skins are very rarely cancelled these days. There's a wide range of patches that are seen in the leak that clearly reach throughout the whole year really.

Urgot/Eve won't be seen for awhile now, as we know that there is at least one more new champion set for a tentative release before Urgot which is why I've always guessed he will be around July at earliest. Then that'd leave room for another new champ or 2 before Eve as well.

The Sewn Chaos skins as you mentioned, were pulled right before they would have been released and that rarely happens as I said. Other skins that have been leaked in such ways like Cyber Zed/Katarina on PBE were seen in 2012 & 2013 and but don't show up until 2015-2016 as part of the new Project theme. So they had other things that weren't really cancelled but reworked.

From the current standpoint though: We've seen Cosmic Blade Yi (called Cosmic Reaver Yi in the Leak), 2 new Bird-like Champions (Rakan x Xayah), Updates for Mao & Zac, a Legendary Pulsefire Caitlyn Skin. So I'm keeping with the fact that the leak has been pretty spot on and will continue to be. Which is why I said Ezreal is pretty much confirmed.

GreenLore1 votes

Overall I'm not sure what you are arguing here about.

I know that they rarely scrap skins and its even more unlikely for a big skin line like this.

I'm just saying that while there is only a very small chance that this'll happen,there is still a small chance.

Friendly Ram2 votes

Yes the Star Guardian Ezreal is going to be grand.

Sukishoo2 votes

We don't know if he will indeed be wearing a skirt. They may have designed his more like the male characters of magical girl. Such as Tuxedo Mask.

Also I'd be cool if he got a Tuxedo Mask style skin.

I don't know. Armor of the Fifth Age Taric is pretty funny and I use it every time I play Taric. Shouldn't Ez fit the same category. Besides we also have debonair Vi (a skin line that was supposed to be for man) and is a cross-dresser (ish) skin without the joke which is pretty ncie for its price.
