The sexism debate has now reached Riot after Blizzard. The MOBA League of Legends promises to move away from the 90-60-90 measurements of its female characters.
While there are indeed different body shapes among the male heroes, the female champions in the successful MOBA League of Legends all look quite similar: athletic, slim, and well-endowed. According to a statement from producer Omar Kemell at Comic-Con, this is set to change: body shapes and physiques – all of these are important parameters to create heroes and heroines that differ from the other fighters.
League of Legends will soon feature smaller breasts
A change in character design, also in appearance, is something that they want to focus more on in the future. At the moment, they are working on a heroine who is set to be released soon and who does not fit the Playmate measurements.
Apparently, they are even pleased at Riot that the latent sexism allegations give them a reason to assure how much they also want to design different heroines. It seems as if they are a bit tired of creating the same women with “hourglass” figures (large breasts, narrow waist, protruding backside).
In recent months, Blizzard had already responded to allegations that they had too few prominent female characters in their games. There, too, they promised to address the issue and examine it with more awareness.
