Remember guys, this is the general discussion thread. Keep whine/QQ posts in the appropriate QQ memorial thread! Thanks! |
Who cares? Even the champs that emphasise "sexy" looks are not too over-the-top. I play(ed) quite a bit of jrpg's, so anybody being shocked by LoL..... Weeeell, just don't get to close to those, you'll get a heartattack.
Most of the risque-ish stuff is skins anyways. And as barbs already mentioned, there's champs like Leona and Karma too.

Generally, I see two different methods when people take the lead. (1) Zone your opponent while staying in your lane most of the time. (2) Constantly push the wave to your opponent's tower to either keep pressure in your lane (ie hotshot ) or roam (ie voyboy), but their top lane opponents are able to catch up. I should also note that neither of the top laners has teleport.
I guess it mainly depends on whether you're playing arranged or solo q, but I realized that I'm more of a (1) aka conservative player regardless whether I'm playing solo q or not. I like to think that if the rest of the lanes are doing fine or even mediocre against their respective lanes, (1) seems to be the better choice in my opinion. Because I'm able to deny their top cs by freezing the wave pushed to my tower (best example is probably pantheon because he can zone easily as well as get to dragon in time), it makes their top relatively useless in team fights.
But I noticed that most high elo solo q players take the (2) approach regardless whether their team's lanes are doing well or not. This brings to my question: Why do they do this? Doesn't it allow your opponent catch up in cs. And if you were hotshot and pushed all day, you'd be vulnerable to ganks unless you're nidalee or the like. If you were Voyboy and start roaming, a simple mia call would make your roams a waste of time.
It depends on the champion you play, as well, and whether or not you've warded correctly. You can only do 2 safely, if you warded nicely, and have good escape.
The advantage of 2, is it allows the top lane to roam, controlling top sections of jungle, and possibility of mid lane gank, also pushing top lane also denies CS if the enemy is playing a champion that has a tough time last hitting, like swain, but i bad against Irelia (since she has exceptional last hitting under tower).
EDIT: mia doesn't solve anything, if anything it completely forces their mid to play passive, that means REMOVING pressure off of your own mid, just because of a simple "mia" call.

Like all the female characters are all caricatures from a male prospective. I don't really see how "all" woman would wish they could just have a big rack or ass. It basically means that how women see themselves as pretty in real life is pretty different from how males look at women.
The muscular dudes in lol is pretty much embodiments of male physical virtues. I think its fair to say that most men would be pretty happy being buff or whatnot. The exaggeration is pretty much just an extension of the dominant male thought patterns.
To wrap up the argument, its not just a question of mf have big boobs. Its the fact the majority of the female characters are designed in a way to specifically to appease to the male audience. Sure sex sells, but that dosen't make it any less sexist.
To rant on a little bit more, I think the gaming community have a "LONG" way to go to fix the sexist thing. Like the amount of hate I seen toward female only-league in the starcraft-2 section was baffling.
What? You have either never dated before or you're incredibly jaded about how women perceive themselves. The vast majority of women, like men, are self conscious about their appearance. To go beyond this, women bitch about their breast size or the size of their ass all the fucking time and it's very often because they feel they're "too small."
To say that women don't want big boobs is a lie. Some women want it so badly that they get a boob job. To say that most men want to be muscular but most women don't want features that men find attractive is incredibly hypocritical.
Yes, there are lots of female characters who are made to look sexy. But there are plenty who aren't such as Lux or Ashe or Leona. At the same time there are tons of male characters in this game designed to look sexy. To bring up other games is pretty pointless because this is the LoL sub-forums but to humor you I don't think it's wrong for game devs to have overly buff males nor do I think it's wrong for them to have women with huge breasts. These aren't sexist nor are they portraying an image of beauty that "real people just can't achieve." They are devices that developer's use to portray a character as physically attractive and it's a lot easier than making you find their personality attractive, especially in a game that has no real story like LoL or that's incredibly short such as a fighting game.

GGChronicles, CLG too stronk. Using korea style agression. Crazy good. This is a must watch game! CLG utilizing roaming really well too. Roaming makes the game interesting. Not passive farming early game.

Irelia at least pre changes started winning with max hiten style and some attack speed or armour. I'm late to this discussion but ??? Lee is one of the best harrasers under tower. Shield allows you to tank 2 tower hits without dmg and it allows you to heal back up without any sustain items and you have 2 blinks which can cancel tower aggro. Udyr is the only regular top laner that I've ever lost to though I might just been outplaying everyone else.

Skarner shoves his giant long "stinger" into your poor squishy's body. I believe this is an atrocity to video gaming. How dare they embarrass us men by making his stinger so large! So sexist and wrong.
OR IT'S A FUCKING GAME WHO CARES. Why are we talking about this AGAIN? Last time this happened d nasty stx girl got banned. -_-
