riot's obsession with boobs is creepy and should change but I don't think it's accurate to describe their character portrayals as sexist.
Whether or not it's sexist, which is a debate asking to get dragged down into a morass of semantics and suppositions, Riot's female champion designs clearly cater to a culture which has an unhealthy obsession with impossibly slim, photoshopped women. They do it because it sells, and it's creepy because it reflects how deeply the objectification of women is embedded in popular culture.

Is everybody else getting a ton of trolls in ranked?
I am dodging more games than I am playing.

Practically, isn't it more sexist that they are covering them all just for the sake of it. I mean, leave Janna and Sona and cover the rest, or something. This is just bizarre.
Edit.
Especially janna.
"Do not be captivated by Janna's beauty. Like the wind, she is one gust away from terrible destruction."

i just played against a heal/ignite top lane varus that went Asp Boots -> Malady -> Stinger
the other teams morde also lost to our LB mid XD
Ranked is a coin flip right now imo
|
All good except for the Cass one, just looks so weird to me.
|
The Elise one is actually better than the original imo.
The others look pretty bad. Not that I want them to run around with the boobs hanging out, idc about that. But they just look worse, aestethically. Especially Cass. Urgh.

I like the morg and MF one. Rest are pretty indifferent cept for cass(wtf???)

I dunno. I feel like an attempt to cover up the parts of a few of the champions make sense. I felt like a total perv the time my wife was looking over my shoulder on a loading screen that featured and Eve using that one skin where her boobs are almost all the way out...
Its just silly to have all that in cartoon form in a game like this. Its really hard to take it seriously

And this is why I was going to play first thing this morning, sadly I fell back asleep for another 2 hours thus missing my window to play ranked and avoid most of the trolls. I think I will wait until tomorrow morning to try ranked as your post is reminding me how bad it is right after reset.

Somehow I feel like the answer to this problem is MOAR TEEMO SKINS

I don´t necessarily think it´s wrong to have female champions based on sex appeal, but it does get kinda tiring that every single female champion has to fit under that quota. Does Riot actually think people won´t buy a female champion because she doesn´t have big boobs? Except for the kids and yordles there is only Leona and Anivia remaining.
That said, Ahri´s and MF´s lore are based on them seducing men with their looks, it doesn´t make sense for them to be wearing more clothes than they currently are.

That item: hurricane looks downright broken. Expect the game to be more dotalike for its first few weeks.

Kayle, Shy, sort of Diana, Irelia aside from Frostblade (dat ass), Lux for the most part, Ori unless you're into that sort of thing, and I'd argue Riven (aside from Bunny, obv). They don't fall under the "big boobs and undressed" category.

there's more to seduction than being half naked with a giant rack

Hurricane + new Black Cleaver sounds fun.

Today was like, my day to do placements and so far I've had a cumulative 4 hours of dodge timer and only played 3 games. It's really kind of depressing.
