See Lee Sin, Tryndamere, Varus, Ryze, Pentakill Olaf, Pentakill Mordekaiser, Pantheon, and Primal Udyr...

The sexualization of women is that they have boobs, and hips... so essentially women are by that definition, ALL sexualized. If you actually study the models, league has a pretty wide breadth of women (save that they don't have any chubby or grotesque women). The only DEFINITELY sexualized female champs are Sivir, Nidalee, Evelynn. This is IN YOUR FACE sexualization. Nidalee talks about "Mating Season" and Sivir says "You may call me mistress but only on your knees."

I think it's easier to see "sexualization" in women because everything but a fully covered woman has been considered taboo. Can I see leg? Sexualized. Belly? Sexualized. Cleavage? SEXUALIZED! It overall doesn't take much to sexual women. Hell look at "Mistress Fiora" she's LITERALLY fully clothed with stockings and some cleavage. If she were a man that'd be the equivalent to Shorts and a low cut V-neck. The key here is subtleness. You can be subtle and still "sexify" women, but in order for you MEN to be sexuallized they essentially have to be wearing nothing but a sock over their junk...

No, you're missing the point completely. Mistress Fiora is sating some people's fetish of a sexy teacher, same with a sexy nurse (Akali) or sexy police officer (Caitlyn).
And I have NO problem with that. 0. Keep making champs and skins like that, I like it. (Well I don't Mind it, other people like it)

All I want is for the men to get the same treatment... you throw a bunch of men who are apparently "sexualized" in your eyes

Lee Sin: ...Why, cause he isn't wearing a shirt? He's better than most other champions, but nowhere close to being "sexualized".
Trynd: ANGRY ME SMASH MUSCLES RAWR Is not sexy. And he isn't handsome either, just a bulging muscle barbarian. Not sexy, but he gets an honourable mention because he isn't completely covered up.
Varus: He is shirtless, but covered in corruption everywhere else. STILL it is form-fitting corruption, which is nice. Make more champs like Varus please! This is good!
Ryze: Look at him, top left corner. Look at Ashe, top right corner. Ashe is pretty, thats nice. Ryze is purple with an ugly beard and bony cheekbones.
Pentakills: Bulging muscles does not mean sexy, in fact when you're as big as Olaf and Morde you turn into a big of a monster, not attractive at all.
Udyr: Not sexy at all. He counts as a bulging muscles guy like Pentakill Morde/Olaf. Not what we want, AT ALL.

How about Ruthless Pantheon? His spear is restless after all....

This skin is a step in the right direction; it's a mix of sexy, and gallant. GJ, Riot. http://www.lolking.net/models/?champion=110&skin=2

Compare this to the men, Garen is COMPLETELY covered beneath his armor, you can't even see his chin.
You can't see one inch of skin on Zed, and you can only see Talon's face. And although Varus is shirtless, he is covered everywhere else by corruption.

Ruthless Pantheon is the only skin in the ENTIRE GAME for us. They see these threads, they know they have plenty of people who want a sexy male champion.... so why don't they make one? We're guaranteed customers! They will make more money off this!

Seriously, all I'm asking for is that you give us more than 1 skin. You're blatantly satisfying fetishes for guys (Headmistress Fiora, Officer Caitlyn, Nurse Akali etc) but compared to everything Ruthless Pantheon is the only thing we have.

PLEASE Riot. After Nami, when you make another male champ, PLEASE. No more Gragras or champs covered head to toe, not another monster like Nunu/Rengar/Khazix/Chogath/etc, just release a champ for us, or atleast some more skins for guys like Garen/Jarvan.

You're a company, call a meeting and get someone to work on this. Or give us a post that you understand the situation and you're planning something?
again all this states if riot reads if what to not do... and if they are anything like me they dont know what you want either. Instead of saying "heres what your doing wrong", why not make posts on what you like in sexualized males, ideas for skins... these posts dont aid them at all....

well, ts.. ive asked countless times on this forum for a sun tan taric skin (bare chested taric with a giant bottle of sun protect as a hammer and a beachkite as a shield, his stun would come from his glistening skin) and not a single time ever has a red responded...

i think theres no love for us manly men liking manly men. :/

maybe 'general discrimination against it or something.

bahh sexy males? what for? IN AMERICA we dont cur bout all men being perfect... ONLY women have to have perfect young bodies,trixie personalities and low self esteem. Not men. DIS IS AMURICA!

Doesn't matter if they don't really exist and are cartoons n pixels (trashed so many dreams out there), they all have to have an eating disorder.

Guys on the other hand? Who cares?

You're speaking for yourself, not for everyone. What about the folks who DO think pentakill morde looks pretty goddamn delicious? What about the folks who think that Varus is a sexy beast, regardless of the corruption bits? Lee Sin, holy hell, you could scramble eggs on his chest.

I'm not arguing that League needs more attractive men - just saying that you should chill the hell out about vomiting your PERSONAL OPINIONS up as -facts- and dissing on some of the attractive guys already in League.

Do you HONESTLY expect them to have the motivation or know how to create sexy male champions?
I'm.. sort of offended actually. Yeah, I'm straight. Yeah, I like lady parts, but damn I, and pretty much every other artist at Riot, can make such a sexy hunk that it'll make you question the judgement of our girlfriends/wives.

Hmph, I'm gunna go fill a sketchbook with abs..
