Josh Wrote:I am going to agree with Jarka on this one, initially I used to think people were over exaggerating. But when you go back and look at the champion list, and the skins, you quickly come to realize that you can count on your hands the number of non-overtly sexual female characters.You do realize Soraka is naked under that one piece of cloth with a big bosom, right? Replace her with Lux instead, she's probably one of the less sexualized characters in the game. Also Irelia, Orianna, Sejuani and possibly Shyvana.
Poppy, Tristana, Soraka, Annie, Karma, Anivia
Every other female character is big-breasted, narrow waist, wide hips. And that's not entirely bad on it's own, I'm sure many girls want to play characters like that, just as much as guys want to be the buff and ruggedly good looking Garen. The problem is that those characters are also overly sexualized. Kayle used to be heavily armored until the Judgement Kayle skin which was essentially a skin tight cat suit with some armored shoulder pads.
Skins also tend towards more sexually charged versions of female characters, Officer Caitlyn, Valentine Vayne, Pussy Cat Katarina, Nurse Akali, etc.
I'm sure that female characters would be less offended by the perfect figured female characters if there were more like Leona, and Artic Warfare Caitlyn, and Redeemed Riven. As well as more non-human or less overtly sexy female characters, like a female Cho'gath, Gragas, Shaco, etc.
I doubt they will do cross-gender skins because certain other MOBAs got some pretty heavy flak for doing it, because it essentially sexualized male characters into sexy female ones. It doesn't really fit well with Riot's image anyway.
I honestly don't mind if they sexualize skins. It's people choice to buy them so you can always take the skins with smaller amounts of sex appeal involved and look at them yourself.
