I think that the women in this game are sexualized because it's titillating. I find strong looking males and sexy looking females more exciting than their bland, normal, or ugly looking counterparts. It really doesn't matter whether they are sexy; It matters whether they are fun/exciting to look at.

Video games are played to have fun. I find sexy women more fun than old, fat, normal, plain, or very young women. I find that in men I have a wider range of what I like looking at.

I find the argument for having sexy men much more compelling and reasonable than the argument for having un-sexy women. But as a man, I don't find sexy men compelling. I won't EVER buy a male skin because it's sexy. However, my female friends do find sexy women compelling. Really, I think EVERYONE finds sexy or sexualized women compelling, whereas fewer people find sexy men compelling. I think sexy women skins will sell more than sexy men skins.

But that's just my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Then stay out of them and don't waste your time. Why do you even bother ? Go discuss something that's more urgent.

Stop coming here and trying to change the game because you are personally dissatisfied with how Champs are designed. You have the option to leave. Stop trying to change things to your personal liking. What makes your opinion worth more than the majority? Why do you think because YOU don't like how female and male Champs are designed, they need a change? Majority likes it.

And now go ahead and call me ignorant and sexist, I don't care because I know I'm not. I'm simply annoyed by these threads that are a huge waste of time when there are way better things to be discussed.
1) The point is the number of people growing disgruntled is increasing. This won't remain the majority for long... if you even know what the majority is thinking. Since your post was so ignorant, I think it goes without saying that you have no idea what the majority of 30+ million people think.

2) Like what, exactly?

If a girl isn't pretty or charming then she damn well better be smart and confident. Any smart and confident woman will use her se x appeal to her advantage.

Deal with it.

I think when fighting to the death that whole idea kinda goes out the window.

So don't change society for the better, where women don't need to use *** appeal to get ahead? Why shouldn't women get the chance to move ahead because of hard work and feel satisfaction that they have better merit as opposed to better outfits?

I'd buy an old witch champion. Preferably with a really evil laugh. she can throw poisoned apples or something and turn people into frogs.

Why? Because you're not subject to such abuse and you don't think about what kind of toxic social norms led Riot to pander to you specifically. You might be subject to being called bad at this game, which you might be. But you'll never know what it's like to be outcast for the reasons listed. And you most likely don't care. But that doesn't mean it's not an issue that needs to be addressed.
Oh, of course. But if it were a male calling out a female he's a sexist mysogynist jerk. Why is it always the mans fault, hmm?

To say men aren't subject to abuse is sexist beyond belief.
