and no, i dont want a 18+ game. I dont like the fact that someone makes extreme accusation without REAL careful thought in the comments they choose to make to support a suggestion by bashing one of the aspects of the game.

if girls getting harass by players because the are discovered they are girls, thats the players(not the girls fault) and its highly encouraged to report harassment. If you stop playing a champ because its too pretty then whatever tough idk, yell at riot for ugly champ of your choices because i dont might playing ugly.

I'm all for more variety on all level but if people going to push a sexist agenda instead of a "lack of variety" agenda then I have a problem because Riot has done it's best to level the field and truth be told, majority of the players are males that prefer a attractive female but not many people complained about lack of variety of females until recently. but dont address the issue where pointing a fact as a evil flaw of the game.

It doesn't work that way... men don't dictate how women feel or should feel... The idea that Pentakill Olaf appeals to female gamers is further proof of the fact that men have a real difficulty understanding what women find appealing or sexually attractive.

Here is a perfect example of how men in the gaming community cannot handle any criticism.

No
Yes

I guarantee you the results will both be unsurprising heavily skewed towards the second choices.

Also, you wrote way, way, way, way, way, way, way, way too much to say "I feel that female human LoL champion models are biased towards oversexualized females, and also that there are way more of them than anything else."

This is coming from someone who can barely get any point across without a thesis written.

Here's my counterpoint, what, do you want a female Gragas rolling around burping at enemies to disorient them? Do you just want slightly larger female characters? Nobody will pick or not pick based on how they look over how they play. Attractive female skins are made to make more money (and according to the porn industry it works rather well). Do you want to turn the clam bake into a sausage fest? I don't understand at all what the hell you want changed, because nothing that could rectify this would really change anything except randomly satisfy a small subset of people that actually give a **** (most of which aren't playing or paying anyways).

Only male champions can look like the real deal ?

Akali could have perfectly looked like a real nurse. It's not like Shen's skin is very complex and yet it works.

EDIT: again, I'm not against her sexy nurse costume (especially after the Japan Red Cross relief thing), but almost all female skins are like that.

I want to know why offering variety in female appearances upsets you sir.

The Tibetan monks, meanwhile, whipped up a literal firestorm. With their bodies.
