I don't mind the overabundance of sexualized females in league, but I do think we need some men of that nature. The only champions who come close are Varus and Lee Sin, and it's just their bodies that make them "sexy" -- nothing about the overall character design spouts *** appeal the way champions like Miss Fortune and Elise do.

Making a sexy male character doesn't stop at giving them a nice body. The most sexualized female champions wear skimpy clothing and have ridiculous proportions, but they also have provocative poses and expressions.

A lot of potentially sexy male champions are also way too overdressed. Look at Graves. He's the type of scruffy man a lot of women fantasize about... Then you see him covered neck to toe in unneeded clothing. Look at Talon. He's the mysterious edgy guy all the women want to get close to. But he keeps them away with an uncomfortable amount of clothes.

Then we have our strange male characters like Varus, Lee Sin and Olaf dressed skimpy.

So Riot, can you try to do a better job matching scantily clad with sexy and generic manly buff men (Olaf, Jayce) with clothes and/or lack of clothes as well (lack of clothing does not always have to be in a sexual manner)? We (anyone who is attracted to men in general) don't fantasize about men like Mundo even when they're deprived of clothing, we fantasize about men like Graves and it's a shame they HAVE so much clothing.

To better explain what I'm getting at, look at these two pictures; both men have similar buff, atheletic body types, but the first image is of someone oozing *** appeal while the latter is of an attractive man, but not blatantly sexual in nature. TL;DR there is more to making a sexy character than their body type-- stop using Varus as the example of a sexy male, HE JUST ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH

Hi Varus. Hi Garen. Hi Tyndamere. Hi Gragas. Hi Ezrael. Hi Graves (So rugged!) HELLLO NEW TWISTED FATE!

Edit: My bad. Forgot about Jayce. Dat facial profile. mmm.

Edit: Edit: In all seriousness while the men aren't super hyper sexualized like the women, I find LoL's selection of delectable males to be adequate. Although guys do need more fetish skins.

varus is a weird human thing with animal legs, glowing eyes and purple skin

garen, ezreal, graves and tf are all draped in ridiculous amounts of clothes (shirtless skin for any one of them yes pls)

tryndamere comes close but he has no personality other than "HI IM BIG AND STRONG AND I KILL **** LOL"

gragas pls no...

Unprepared Garen where????

But seriously....

Most of the artists are straight men....

Do you HONESTLY expect them to have the motivation or know how to create sexy male champions?

I think you mean Gragas please yes. Sexiest mofo in the League. Also, some of us REALLY like Big strong and kill things type of guys. I'd test out Trynd's undying rage any day.

Also I edited my original post.
