Uhm Ironstylus I must ask you with the risk of being brushed off with an: "can't tell" answer

When you talk about Sejuani being a "mistake" graphic design wise I wonder... will you guys change her base skin? or will you just throw a new skin at her? I feel like just doing another skin is like throwing a punch in the face to all Sejuani players out there :S like "If you want your champ to look the way it's supposed to look, buy RP"... I know you guys are a company but I think better of you u.u although I think changing her base skin will give you no real benefit but some players gravitating towards her and some others complaining that she's not naked anymore or she's not riding a boar anymore :S

I like how a Red is supporting this :>

I really hope to see some more female players in this game, it would add more..flavour I guess and they are different in their personalities.

I really, DO NOT want another stupid yordle..
keep your porn out of our game.

there's other places you can go to get your jollies tickled much more effectively. if you need a few pixels of skin-tone to get it up, that's not our problem or responsibility to pander to.

Clearly missed the point

Question: Is there a reason why none of the very anthropomorphic animal champions have been female?

I mean: Shyvana, Ahri and Cassiopeia come to mind as anthropomorphic, but are mostly human bodies. When I think about Nasus, Warwick, Renekton, or Volibear, they are mostly animals who walk and talk like humans. They are not humans, who have a few animal traits like Ahri or Cassiopeia.

Please don't generalize or assume to know my preferences. I have a feeling you have no idea what I think.
actions speak louder than words.

don't dare to take the moral high road with those pretensions of indignant righteousness with us. you aren't fooling anyone.

so yes we will see if you release it, won't we. it's been two years already, Riot. how 'bout it, eh?

You can say this when they clothe male champions in a realistic way, give them body types even remotely approaching humanity, and create human males who are ugly for some reason other than something that applies directly to their kit (i.e. Gragas).

If you try to come at me with that garbage that men are athletic while women are *** objects. I'll just have you read this:

This is exactly the point I was making in my original post in this thread. You cannot make this claim. The claim itself is sexist, and demeaning to men.

Let me share a personal example from my life: My rib cage sticks out a bit horizontally. My chest will never stick out over the top of my ribcage the way Garen's does. This may sound stupid to you, but this has been a source of real concern for me in terms of body image my entire life. Most of my life I've been benlow 8% body fat (I wrestled most of my life, and have been in excellent shape) but "felt fat" because my musculature never matched the ideal I had in my head (The Rock, essentially).

This is 100% as legitimate as any woman who feels negative in some way because of Ashe's lithe figure. My explanation of sexualization is 100% as legitimate as any concern any woman may have over Miss Fortune.

To deny this is inherently sexist. The fact that men have less of a problem with being sexualized lies more in their acceptance of sexualization than anything else. If you have an issue with sexualization, examine yourself. Sexualization doesn't mean you're not taken seriously - there is not a player in this game who doesn't take laning against an Irelia, Akali, or whoever else seriously. The female champions are not seen as inferior to male champions.

As I said, the OP's topic is too vague, doesn't make any real defensible point, and flirts heavily with sexism against men.

This image isn't supposed to imply "If I buy those underwear, people will think I'm good at soccer:" http://bodyfitnessgain.com/wp-conten...Beckham-2.jpeg
The blatant mysandry in this thread sickens me.

Move to Palestine where people share your views on women showing skin.
