A genuine basic question for a Rioter surrounding the Irelia rework model

did you guys intentionally create Irelia's model to look "thicc"?

I remember a time when DJ Sona was released, a Rioter said that the model is the same as the other female models and her ass wasn't "enhanced".

But seeing this irelia, her thighs and ass looked completely enhanced and was wondering if it was intentional or it's just an illusion off of her clothes that makes her look enhanced.

Please no sarcasm or jokes. I'm just curious if sex appeal is actually put forth when designing a female/male champion.

Just how like MMORPG games and iOS games have female models with enhanced body parts on purpose.

Well, if you recall a few months back, they did those word visuals using keywords they got from surveys and inquiries to the League community about champions, and some of the most prominent perceptions and most identifiable things on Irelia was "frostbutt" and "butt." Since Riot tends to want to capture what people like about champions, they went with making Irelia have bigger hips and a bigger bottom. And honestly, there's not really any champion at current who's got larger hips and a prominent butt like the new Irelia, as most other "pretty girls" are pencil thin with an hourglass shape. The closest we have is Camille, but her hips and rear are mechanical.
