Stopped when I saw that you included Lux in "over-sexualized".

You were pushing it with Fiora and including Lux just shows you're overreaching and grasping at straws to support your argument. I will also add that battle bunny riven was a community suggested skin. And Pantheon isn't wearing practical armor in like 90% of his skins. In fact his skins make him even MORE naked than usual.

Pantheon is a Spartan.
He doesn't need that much clothing. He's not weak like you.

In fact, don't most champions have some form of combat training to be able to use their abilities [well]?
Isn't weather taijutsu training a basic element of every field combat in existence?

For what it's worth, I really appreciate IronStylus coming in and addressing the issue personally. I know he's one of many artists at Riot and his input isn't always acted upon for one reason or another but it does reflect well that there is a fairly prominent voice inside Riot that does agree that there should be some change in how female champion concepts should be considered in the future. I really liked Justicar Syndra, btw. And the new Soraka is much less objectionable than the old one, though I'm not sure I entirely agree with the younger look. I'm expecting things to get better over time. I hope I'm not disappointed.

On a note I can't really describe. the level of intimate conversation you have engaged with us IronStylus has been beyond impressive. Riot company just gained 5 brownie points. Those points turn into RP XDXDXDXDXD.

Err, I may have mis-remembered the post, but were you not specifically the person that claimed that female champions "needed to be" hypersexualized so you (the general you, not you the individual) could "tell they were female", and cited Kayle as a bad example?

I didn't say hyper-sexualized, I made a goofy comment about proportions and read in-game which I have since said were dumb. I was in fact defending decisions that I actually didn't agree with but felt the team still deserved credit for pulling off a difficult champion.
