We did a cool concept and a cool character, but we needed to tie those together better and even push Sejuani's body type more barbaric. Hind-sight is 20/20 though. (Also I was pretty new then)
What if you re-did her base skin and then also released a skin like her current design, giving it away for free to everyone who'd already bought Sejuani? That way, her default would actually make sense but you wouldn't piss off people who like her current base, since they can still play it?

Lee Sin. Dat entire ripped upper body.
Tango Twisted Fate. Dat sauce.

I think your whole argument is not only biased, it completely disregards the fact that women don't need to see half-naked men to find them attractive - but guys tend toward scantily clad females. Refer to my wall of text a few pages back for my full opinion.

Cleavage equals sexualized right? And ****ty? Yeah?!?!?
It's not like girls showing cleavage is more common than shirtless guys, no not at all.

Many females nowadays seem to love female looking guys.
OP, just turn lesbian and continue your man hating.

I disagree.

Tryndamere, especially in his new splash art, is concealed by his giant sword and all you can really see is his right arm. Pantheon has armor covering his chest and is not in a position that accentuates his physique. Kassadin is the only one of the 3 flaunting his bare naked chest, but keep in mind that he is extremely purple and does have tubes and horns adorning him, making him not so attractive and much less sexualized.

Being handsome =/= being sexualized. Unless you is posing is a way that is flirtatious, then his looks are completely secondary to his battle prowess. Tryndamere and Pantheon are trying to intimidate you, not seduce you. Twisted Fate isn't using his body at all. His charm is entirely based on his clothes and style, Lee Sin is the only one that you might have an argument for, but he still isn't actually posing in a sexual way.

Like I said before.

Let the ladies have a over sexed male champion skin and see how well it sells.

If the skin sales well then they prove their point and Riot would be motivated to cater to this group of people.

If the skin dose not sale than the argument to have equality between male and female body types proves invalid because too few people are willing to put their money were their mouth is.

To me, I think the far bigger issue is one Riot has already been tackling and thats harassment in any form. Regardless of gender and their false reasons for doing so.
