Although I can't fully grasp where you're coming from because I've never cared about sexuality, to me it seems like "If they aren't dressed like someone would be dressed today, or a 'woman warrior' (an interesting concept, given our little knowledge of how exactly one such woman would dress as usually if they were 'warriors' it was because they did so dressed as men)

Anyway, I think whenever people talk about this it's pretty exaggerated. Honestly, who would play a female gragas (besides the same people that play gragas because he looks 'odd'.

They would all be fine, imo. I mean, Kayle's armor looks almost completely feminine but practical save maybe the abdominal area... so anything like that is fine, I would think.

EDIT: I forgot the goal wasn't gender-neutrality but to be feminine and not sexualized. >_> The wonders that being tired does to you.
Kayle is an angel with invulnerability powers. She probably doesn't even need armor (her sister doesn't), but she just wears that to be an intimidating BAMF.

I really do appreciate the attention that IronStylus has given to this issue. Maybe I'll start to see male champions that I can drool over other than Varus or Talon.

I can also easily name many female champs who can live without their size D's. But no telling how the fans will live.

I almost thought it was good til I realized her spine bends in a 90 degree angle.

I really like this thread, it's the first thread that has addressed the situation in a way that people can understand and hopefully agree with. Very very pleased. Goodjob and thankyou.

Sometimes it's not easy being a female LoL player, especially with the amount of discrimination I get from players in game. Other players might say, Why don't you change your username then? Why should I change my username? I don't think I should hide my gender in this game in order to play it without being discriminated. There shouldn't BE any discrimination. Females shouldn't be treated any differently. A male player can get away with the username 'ThatGuy56' or something similar, but a girl can't in the same context? Same goes for correcting players when they call me a man, or he etc. I'm pretty sure as a man you don't enjoy being called a girl , it's the same for girls.

There needs to be a bigger variety of female champions and I strongly agree with it, regardless of the D+ cup fans out there.

Why not a dignified bespectacled Victorian era industrialist with pneumatic gauntlets that they use to box? Basically Teddy Roosevelt or a lady Teddy Roosevelt with robot hands.
