League of Legends

[Anzekay]

The thing that usually bugs me about sexualization in video games (or most media forms really) is when all that is important or recognizable about the character is their overtly sexual rendering. If a character is so shallow that the only thing they represent is female/male sexuality then I honestly find it to be a pathetic and boring character to have anything to do with. It just doesn't strike me as interesting.

So when I play a game or watch a movie or anime or whatever and see a character that is purely walking fanservice, a big part of me rolls my eyes and puts a black mark against it. I'd much rather see some actual depth in a plain looking, fully covered female character than a really hot scantily clad character who is ridiculously shallow.

And frankly, League of Legends is brimming with attractive, scantily clad female characters. Luckily this game's story and characters aren't what interests me. It does amuse me though, that some of their best splash art of female characters is generally the ones with lots of clothes on (Battle Leona, Ironscale Shyvana- even if it is a skintight suit of armour- just to name a couple).
