Akali
Annie
Nidalee
Poppy
Sejuani

Ending in "-ah" sound:
Anivia
Cassiopeia
Diana
Fiora
Irelia
Janna
Karma
Katarina
Leona
Sarah (Miss Fortune)
Morgana
Orianna
Shyvana
Sona
Soraka
Syndra
Tristana
Zyra

That leaves us with:
Ashe
Caitlyn
Evelynn
Kayle
LeBlanc
Lulu
Lux
Sivir
Riven
Vayne

So in addition to the artwork, models, and whatnot, maybe you should work on renaming female champions.
maybe they're so abundant because the "ah" and "ee" ending sounds are almost universally recognized as feminine :3

Also, I'm actually completely with you in that I think it's silly that Tryn is from the frozen wastes and he's sans shirt. I think even that Ashe is wearing thigh-highs is a bit silly. But, I am in no way going to go back and nuke what has become iconic and cool.

Regardless of that practicality, they're iconic. I think Sejuani is what I spoke about before. An easy solution which could have been more clever.
I'm pretty sure Nunu is the only Freljordian champion who wears climate-appropriate clothing.

That's the problem with the OP. He doesn't consider a lot of sexualized males as sexualized just because they're not sexualized to him. Look at covers of all those "bodice-ripper" erotic novels middle-aged women loves reading so much. They often show Conan-like men. And trust me....while personality is important in everybody, chances are, if a woman is hot enough, personality can be thrown right out the window for most men nowadays. Some might be turned off by incredibly shallow "Legally-Blonde" type characters, but in general, an attractive figure holds a lot of weight for a lot of men in this day and age.
This could be said about women too you sexist scum.

So much biased trash talk.
What have media done with you.

Don't get me wrong, the model, the animations, the particles, etc. are all top-notch.

I just feel like her facial features just aren't as distinguished at all, really. I used to be able to picture her as having a lot of wisdom, and having a nurturing, warm personality just from looking at her splash and hearing her voice.

She looks like a teenager now. That's all I really have to say. I don't get that vibe anymore. She's just...there.
Meh, shut the hell up, old Soraka was ugly as hell and if you're disappoint they didn't keep her ugly face allow me to laugh at you.

Neat, IronStylus posted right below me, but I do have an actual point to make here

I mostly agree on ashe, but really take out the thigh highs and give her pants and she's perfect, cloaks are pretty warm so I'm not going to nitpick her.

I'm fine with tryn not wearing a shirt, it fits his archetype and there's always been the archetype of the naked barbarian from the frozen north. (Granted they usually don't go quite that far and give them fur to wear but it still fits, because we've always been mixing berserks with woad warriors) And that's why I feel bad about Sejauni, I think your idea of recoloring her woks, but honestly if she had a slightly different body type she'd work as is.
