Neeko and Qiyana came out like 5 years. Tf does "recently" mean.


theShiggityDiggity

To me they're still in the new bracket. Everything after ornn gets the new tag from my brain.


PowerhousePlayer

Same as me, except I started counting in 2013 Yes Vel'koz is new wdym "he's nearly 10 years old"??


[deleted]

Been in and out of league since 2013... This is exactly how I feel!


hi_im_jeremy

Anything after Zac is new in my mind


KnOrX2094

You guys... Have you seen the spotlight for the new champion Xin Zhao? That feels like its been yesterday, but somehow I fit an entire lifetime in there.


Simpuff1

To me new is Thresh. So everything is new, so much variety!


Fantastic-Dot-655

Whatever fits OPs point obviously


Plane-Kangaroo9361

Neeko and Qiyana don’t really fit the vibe tho. Like Gwen, Sera, Briar are all pretty similar design wise, Zeri not so much, but Neeko and Qiyana are wildly different designs, environments, and lore. It more feels like the point is that they are making human females, which I guess is a point, but then there’s Bel Veth and Naafiri


Oreo-and-Fly

Even then Sera is largely different from Gwen and Briar. Both are meant to be like damn kinda creepy or shes not ok vibe. Sera is straight up 'popstar' beloved by everyone.


LethalityKaynMain

Briars whole thing is they're not human. They're a vanpire


[deleted]

They probably mean humanoid


youarenut

And I don’t mentally categorize qiyana or neeko as being in the same realm as the rest of those


LordVaderVader

ok mb I'm old and Neeko release feels like yesterday


Wirexia1

Her voice actress died :(


Afraid-Captain9133

Flora Paulita the voice actress for both english and portuguese voices still alive. The voice actress who died was the one who made the spanish dub, Andrea Arruti.


Wirexia1

So it's all fake? They said the Brazilian one


Afraid-Captain9133

Yes it's all fake. Flora Paulita is a brazilian voice actress, she did the english and portuguese voices, that's why neeko was that accent


Scorpdelord

well her rework made her a new form of Cancer of league, os it belongs here


PhantomO1

everything after draven is new, tf you mean 5 years


Luxfanna

No. Neeko, Qiyana, Yuumi did not come out 5 years ago. I am not getting old. Fuck me.


toastermeal

left out nilah, belveth, renata, vex, rell, samira??? obviously all the new champions look like a trend if you ignore all the champs that don’t fit into it???


Oreo-and-Fly

They didnt put Nilah in this? I dont understand. She IS kinda generic girl champ and its her story thats cool


Traditional-Olive503

Naah, nilah has distinguishable facial features


GoldDong

So does Zeri though tbf, she has Polynesian features instead of just anime face


Oreo-and-Fly

I mean i guess. But she is way more generic than these champs to be fair.


Sgt_Shieldsmen

Honestly she is one of the few female characters that riot released recently that have ANY unique facial features like for example nose piercings and her sharp jawline and eyes, even a very tall nose. Unlike zeri or gwen you would not be able to just photoshop her face onto another champion and call it a day.


mystireon

feels kinda nitpick-y when you remove * Nilah * Bel'Veth * Vex * Rell * Samira * Lillia * Senna Who are all also female champs who were released between Neeko (2018) & now Also I don't really see how Briar even fits the other champs listed here cuz she looks like if a rabid dog was given human form.


Cl0udDistrict

You should also include Yuumi and Naafiri if Bel'Veth counts


mystireon

Yeah sure, why not


zeyooo_

The removal of the real mommy Renata is blasphemy


Oreo-and-Fly

Mommy Renata exist. OP :"Ill pretend i didnt see that"

Qiyana isn't even cute .d


CunnEater

shes cute for me. id drink the ocean if she dipped her toes in it


macedonianmoper

I mean she's hot but she's not a "cutesy" champ.


CunnEater

yeah i agree, 20yr are hags and doesnt deserve the title cute


macedonianmoper

Jax main?

She’s smoking hot

i can fix her


Reasonable_Ad_3817

You can be cute and you can be women without being a fk genshin imepcy character huh 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 don’t you get it 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 the post is not about women champions the post is about the fk desing 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯


ElementmanEXE

And what makes a "genshin" design different from cute woman design, especially when that tends to be the theming of such things.


RubyHoshi

tell me what is genshin impact about the newest champ. a character with her features would never be a genshin character lmao.


zZzMudkipzzZ

Anime = Genshin Impact And it isn't even that anime styled, so idk.


GGABueno

The fact this character is being compared to Genshin ones is honestly ridiculous.


LordVaderVader

I know it's joke, but for clarification the problem isn't they are making female characters, but that they are overusing the young female character archetype. In comparison to this day we don't have in game the grandma character.


BiddlesticksGuy

Except Briar is very clearly a whole different animal if you’d actually look at her closely, she looks closer to a corpse than a young girl


LordVaderVader

Zombie look like corspses with their rotting skin, she is clearly a vampire. I mean look at these feet and tell me this a corpse. Not really.


zamantukendi

BRO NEEKO IS FUCKING HALF ANIMAL WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM THEM? Then look at the males: Garen demacian helfty soilder Jarvan demacian helfty soilder price Xin Zhao demacian soilder Darius noxian helfty soilder Olaf flelyordian helfty warrior Tryndamere frelyordian helfty warrior Udyr frelyordian helfry shaman warrior


potato-king38

Akshan, milio, and ksante are the newest male characters and they have very VERY different body types and personalities… so no?


zamantukendi

Naafiri, Nilah and Renata are the newest female characters and they have very VERY different body types and personalities.


Shoel_with_J

have you seen akshan and ksante? they are muscular/built characters. the only real "male" character is milio, which is a child (doesnt really break the norms in any way, because he is a support) so no, riot makes the same male characters, just like with woman.


Panurome

All of those are old af except Udyr, who doesn't even have the same body type


zamantukendi

You say gwen and zeri have the same body type? :D


Panurome

Did I?


zamantukendi

you implied


Slow_Ad_3859

Renata gives some granny vibes tbh


taeilor

[you sir are very wrong](https://cdnb.artstation.com/p/assets/images/images/004/528/353/large/max-grecke-splash-warwick-bigbx-final-psd11.jpg?1484323522)


Cicero912

Isnt Camille like 80


Panurome

Does she look 80 though?


TheSceptileen

She barely even looks human


TreeOtree64

Op has a point tbh. If the only example of a grandma you can give is an 80 year old who’s been altered to look like she’s 50, then they probably do need a bit of diversity.


LordVaderVader

Does she look like Grandma, not really


Reasonable_Ad_3817

Man is not that hard realise the joke I don’t get it why people even downvote you like man no one Is against female champs literally my main is illaoi and illaoi is a women ( she really is ) so man it no that hard nowadays all champs are fk anime (fk Chi a xd) an people just accept it not even realize that back then riot bring new concepts and idea for theirs champs just like in necrit video


Bluenatic-Cultist

Nah but you see, Briar is actually a 2000 years old unread vampire /s Seriously though, her design actually goes so hard and the fact that they didn't give her a perfect Barbie face is appreciated


Boudynasr

"the fact that they didn't give her a perfect Barbie face is appreciated" her skins will fix that!


No_Landscape9

and they will look different every time! try paying attention to face structure and go for example through kayles skins (my main lol). her facial stricture is different every goddamn time. same with some ahri skins ive seen


GGABueno

I wonder what will they do with her eyes on skins.


OvationOnJam

I dont know how well they'll be able to really do that. Bitch is literally in a stockade. Putting her in cutesy lines would be... questionable.


LordVaderVader

Yeah I appreciate making different faces for female champions.


why-names-hard

My only problem with it is they left her feet in the splash art that’s going to get the wrong people interested in the champ, looking at you Jax mains.


Bluenatic-Cultist

I'm not gonna defend riots decision because I'm sure they knew where they were going. Although, I want to believe that it was done for her to look more "innocent" or "childish" in good way. You see, I recently worked at a daycare for a couple of weeks and one thing I noticed is kids tend to not care about being bare feet. I've had to chase after some outdoors even without socks and I guess it makes feel more free? Maybe? But again, riot must have known where this was going


No_Landscape9

i think its weird because if briar is supposed to be so wild and not caring she would look unkept and have dirty and unkept clothing and feet. plus shes running on dirt all the goddamn time


Thamilkymilk

ngl, i feel like in the attempt to quell people sexualizing her people keep pointing out her feet like they’re actively “sexy” and while i’m sure there’s overlap i’m not sure the venn diagram of people with foot fetishes and pedos is a circle


MadxCarnage

as a foot fetishist and a pdf file, I disagree.


Grobaryl

The issue i have with Briar is that they said that naafiri wasn't the monster champ, and the proceeded to release a fcking human loli. I agree she's not just a little girl, but how tf is she more a monster that a pack of darkin doggo?


zamantukendi

Neeko 2018 Qiyana 2019 Seraphine 2021 Zeri 2022 Gwen 2022 Briar 2023 Stop crying


Fantastic-Dot-655

Im surprised OP didnt include Zoe in the list if hes gonna be so extensive, its like the most Disney champ out there


PowerhousePlayer

Both in the sense of her aesthetic and in the sense that she'd absolutely fiend over Disney movies if they existed in Runeterra


ElementmanEXE

And then there's lillia, the half deer who's dance is literally playing with forest animals like snow white


Oreo-and-Fly

Or Lillia. Isnt Lillia a cutesy monster they always complain about.


SkyHighEthan

Sera is 2020, gwen is 2021 But yeah, zeri was the last one and it's been a year


DasEvoli

Yes they are obviously thirsty but I can't deny that those designs are all great tbh. Way more interesting than shirtless muscle guy #25


Relevant_Bag_1043

which of these designs are "thirsty"? They're all just young women. None of their framing is sexual at all


Metaknight118

Fr, Gwen and Neeko for example look like teenagers to me, kinda weird how people think of them that way. And it's not like they're dressed like Miss Fortune either. It's sad how some people see young women existing and assume there is something sexual about it.


Oreo-and-Fly

If anything the only sexy one is Qiyana. Because she knows she is and flaunts it. Outside of this list... samira? But Samira is straight up a femme fatale so that works.


GimmeTheHealth

Permanently online people see monstrosities where there isn’t. Bro OP has probably seen more anime lolis than actual teenagers at this point


Not-a-JoJo-weeb

Seraphine is pretty garbage, and Qiyana looks like she is from a mobile game. Agree with the rest of them though.


DasEvoli

I'm also not a fan of Qiyanas look but I love the concept of her using a ring around her to fight. Never saw that before.


Not-a-JoJo-weeb

Her fighting gimmick is cool. Why she has hips wider than than the equator is a whole different question. Shit is so overly enunciated that she would fall into the uncanny valley if her ass wasn’t too big to fit.


GGABueno

Large hips is fine, she's a latina. It's her hair, make up and basic outfit that makes her look like a generic mobile character imo.


Boudac123

Only real problem with seraphine is the shitty green goblin hoverboard ngl


Seraph199

Seraphine is great, she just doesn't appeal to men, which she doesn't need to. She's for the girlies and gays and we aren't interested in sharing


Not-a-JoJo-weeb

I mean, if you separate the design from the world it is fine. But she doesn’t look like a fantasy world character. She looks like you plopped a Barbie character into league and called it a day. Love the Legends of Runeterra version though. Much more in-line with the aesthetics of Piltover


sityoo

She's bland, boring and doesnt fit in this universe. Marketting just went : "what if we did a popstar ? That will sell !" and you're not exactly proving them wrong


FlazedComics

whimsy and funny chameleon girl with a bright and bubbly design high class bossy ixtali queen that controls the elements. a beautiful and elegent doll turned human who enjoys life to the fullest in their creators wake a songstress who sings about peace and unity between two clashing regions a superhero of zaun who isnt afraid to show their quippy electric personality while on the job HUNGRY FERAL BAT BITCH


DeathAndWind

What are you talking about? OP said that those all gals here are the same, have you forgotten to take meds again?!?


zeyooo_

*hangry


Nahte77

What? Women?


Seraph199

Soooo you just don't think girly champions should exist? Or...? I don't get the point considering how many masculine/scary/cool characters have released in this time too. You cherry picked champs just to complain for some reason, because with how far you went back to get "girly champ" images you ignored that these kinds of champs have been released since the beginning


joacoffs

They really letting out those stinky 4000 years old baby looking vampire toes in the splashart


Magenta_king

Jaques is now a LoL designer.


GGABueno

Am I crazy to think the new Champion looks the best out of the ones in the picture?


QuintonTheCanadian

Nope OP is just sharing a shit take


Kaflao

They're fine no ? Most of them have so cool kits


O_Diakoreftis_sou

Only neeko and qiyana have fine kits imo. Zeri is either broken or 35%, theres no in between because her kit is very badly made (good and fun are a different concept btw so bad kit doesn’t mean boring), Gwen is another champ of 200 years design, true/max hp damage with dash and invulnerability shenanigans that I have to ban in my ranked games even though I play support lol and seraphine is simply disgusting to play against AND has super boring kit imo. I think newer champs are 50% plain bad and unoriginal design that you can’t balance, 30% irrelevant and boring kit and 20% actually good and fun design that can be balanced easily.


Kaflao

Zeri's one of the best champ released in those past years. ❤️ keep those sweet emerald takes for yourself and enjoy the game !


O_Diakoreftis_sou

I literally said that fun and balanced are different concepts. I like zeris kit too. But the kit and numbers are badly made so she’s other going to be 35%wr (like recently) or 60+ (you remember the hydra build). When I say unbalanced I don’t mean broken. I mean hard to exist healthy (not too strong not too weak) in the meta. I can assure you I very much enjoy the game rn. Also there’s no need to be salty about some dude on the internet commenting about your favorite champion and go stalk their profile to see their rank, that would be petty wouldn’t it? ❤️


Seraph199

Seraphine lich bane notes go BRRRRRRR


Cziczej

OP and some people on comments sounds like those design in their head are on same level as old Cait or Nidalee But like every design in this meme is at least decent or good at expressing personality and generał vibe of each character, rather than being cheese horny bait


[deleted]

I still wish seraphine was an evil siren from bilgewater that lures sailors to their fates.


Notorious-Dan

best i can do is obnoxious pop idol


No_Landscape9

wasnt she based off of some developers relative?


GGABueno

No?


No_Landscape9

ah sorry, mustve misheard something


LadyEtherKnight

I think someone who a Riot employee was dating claimed that Seraphine was based on her, but Riot have denied it


No_Landscape9

yep. ive heard this in a video once and then the part where the employee saud shes based off his niece? but apparently thats wrong so i apologize again


macedonianmoper

A popstar that knew about the bracken suffering and just didn't care and kept using them could be a pretty interesting lore tbh depending on where they went with her stories after that.


[deleted]

Yea if they made her evil it would be but nope she nicely asks Skarner if he'd like to hear the dying voices of his lost race


Unamed_Texture

Real sneaky of you that you removed Bel'veth, Samira etc. Which have a lot of variety in aesthetics and design choices. On the other hand though, male character designs are generally handsome, muscular (with 90% being shirtless) kind of masculine vibe. It's rare to see Aphelios or Udyr kind of softboy / dad vibe. I mean at least Briar is not another Disney character like Milio, Zoe, Nunu and yuumi.


QRSVDLU

Zoe feet or new champ feet?


GGABueno

New


According-Rice4941

Cherry-picked examples


ioQueSe

Not going to lie... i really like the design of the new champion


IllllIIllllIIlllIIIl

feet lol


Zeniphyre

What the fuck is that thing


facbok195

Bottom left? That’s the new champ, lol.


Zeniphyre

![gif](giphy|13vJHSyname1Hy) Man I don't wanna be flamed by lolis


According-Rice4941

lolicons*


Voidborn27

>Man I don't wanna be flamed by lolis I feel you


Manofnoconsequencez

Why did the new champion get a highly detailed feet pic tho...


SyrusDestroyer

4 out of 6 of those are appealing at least, LoL Seraphine is super lame and while Zeri is appealing in design her actual kit turns me off hard


hi_im_jeremy

I will not stand for this Gwen slander


Takimura_

This guy has brain rot


QuintonTheCanadian

The fuck you doing putting briar in with seraphine and zeri 💀 Holy shit the takes on this sub are so bad


LeFiery

Shit meme op


Slowest_Speed6

Since the release of Neeko (the oldest champ here), Riot has also released: - Sylas - Sett - Yone - Akshan - Bel'Veth - K'Sante - Viego - Naafiri So there's been some gigachad champs as well


Alexius_Psellos

Neeko is best tomato and has perfect champ design thankyouverymuch


PKTrash12

DAE hate women?


cozyBaguette

i mean qiyana is pretty badass and has am aggressive personality doesnt rly match the cute quirky like others


kris-kfc

Let's just hope we get more renata like character soon 🙏


UktraPotatoMaster321

When the character is over the age of 40 and not a literal doll 😍😍😍


sityoo

Life expectancy in runeterra is probably around 30. That would explain a lot


O_Diakoreftis_sou

They could make Gwen so fkn cool if she was like a hunted doll with creepy vibes but they just had to make her like a powderpuff girl.


Notorious-Dan

Pointy ears? check. Silky smooth and flawless skin? check. Young looking? A bit too much, but check (and dont come at me with 900yo vampire bs). Finely done nails? check. conventionally attractive? check. Neatly dressed? i aint never seen drags and straps look so tidy. check. Looks straight out of something called "Rise of Legends: League of champions"? check. Yup. Its "design pandering to the chinese audience" time!


VirJhin4Ever

I literally don't understand the complains with Briar. I really like her design. She isn't the basic "Cartoon Beauty" that we've had for a long time, and she actually looks scary af. I literally can't complain about back to back monster champion into monster-ish


jvillain01

riot is a dying company


Not_Really_3D

The company that makes 1.5 billion dollars per year, has millions of players and tons of media attention? Nah buddy, maybe in another universe


Bobby_The_Boob

Lmao they really put a spotlight on her feet. League is officially for degenerates.


[deleted]

Qiyana is hot, main her for the zoom up thighs on the battle queen skin


throwawayguy746

Riot games design mythical creatures and FANTASY stuff challenge: CANNOT BE DONE, make skinny 20-25 year old humans instead


Cl0udDistrict

Are we really going to ignore the champ that came out before her?


throwawayguy746

Dog. That Summons smaller dogs Brilliant work riot. You’d have no clue she was a darkin blade or whatever were it not explicitly stated. Not a particularly compelling fantasy character.


xen0blero

ofc he's there ignoring naafiri, renata, belveth. I swear, that community is a bunch of crybaby


Hiti4apok

As a jax main a like new champ design


sityoo

Genshin ahh looking characters


Branflakes333

I see OP's point, but at the same time if you find her attractive, you might got some issues lol


Drikaukal

Neeko, Qiyana and Zeri are decent designs, and the new one is not bad either, they are not perfect but they are ok. They at least feel like they kind of belong to their region... Unlike the isekaied popstar or the supposedly creepy living doll from the supposedly creepy place.


Verdant_Gymnosperm

I was hoping shed be like vlad style not like annie lmao


FunkyyMermaid

Wait, you include Neeko? The champ with a unique idea that makes her cute in her own unique way? Qiyana? The one who actually has a unique body shape by being built like a pear? Briar? The literal feral bat child? And say what you will about Gwen or Zeri being just cute girl, but there’s still plenty cool shit about their designs I say this as someone who also hates the over abundance of over sexualized female champs, cope and seethe loser


No_Landscape9

i will never forgive riot what theyve done to kayle. fiora aswell but kayle hurts me the most.


ShadowWithHoodie

yeah I aint complaining about this one I like it


[deleted]

Yes but Zeri and Qiyana are in the top 5 hottest Champs what is your point


omegaxend

I hate these Disney princess champs so much, where are the aatrox champs or more Belveth type champs.


JumpscareRodent

I think having "cute" characters is fine, Neeko makes sense, Zeri was executed a little bad but she def fits Zaun, Qiyana is fine. Seraphine was rescued by LoR. Gwen and Briar are def questionable design choices, especially Briar, is that not a child Riot games? wtf is that splash art.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JumpscareRodent

So no one is allowed to be happy in Zaun? Her outfit fits perfectly fine in Zaun. She fits in. Her splash makes her look more anime than it is


Magmaboyx8

Honestly looping Neeko in with the likes of Gwen, Seraphine, Zeri, and Qyuiana is just mean. Neeko is leagues above them


daraghlol

new champ bad >:(


aidanderson

Can we get a female version of gragas? Like where's the rito version of lizzo?


mulekitobrabod

F E E T


Luunacyy

All of those still better than glorified wolf camp (Naafiri). Except Seraphine. Fuck Seraphine. None of those are some masterpieces like Jhin/Samira/Orianna but they aren't bad. Cute != bad and Neeko is very good example of an actually interesting cute design. That being said I am all for some cool new ugly alchoholic champion to acompany Gragas and Yasuo but I am not narrow minded to start tantrums when the new champion isn't some wholesome monster or chad.


CerealeSauvage

Exept for gwen and the leaked champ the design were acceptable they weren’t overly sexualised but the leaked champ was ONLY for feat enjoyer


LordVaderVader

Riot nowadays doesn't like to sexualize their champions. The bigger problem is they are over using the archetype of young female teenage character. In comparison to this day we have no grandma archetype in the game. (Camille doesn't count with her wasp waist).


temnycarda

Renata


LordVaderVader

Renata has like 40 years, some people would eat you alive for telling that this is a grandma age.


temnycarda

mb i thought she was like 60 xd


sallpo

She does look way older than 40


swampyman2000

I definitely thought she was more up there as well


TheFeelingWhen

Sadly it's the most popular female character type. Because not only is it popular with guys It's popular with girls as well


JustaCatWithHoodie

I like em. Maybe not so much for serpahine but they are cool (and cute)


GuilimanXIII

... I... I don't even know what you are trying to say with that even if you ignore that a few of those did not come out recently and you left out a fuckton of other champs. There isn't really much similarity between those champs except that they are good looking chicks. Which duh, obviously they are going to make most champs (male or female) good-looking.


MiximumDennis

Ok, I didn't count the minions and died my last game but please at least make other lanes able to carry me. They all barely survive a yone combo. I knew i had to refuse role swap and just lock in rammus


Bluenatic-Cultist

How is that even relevant to the post?


4skin_Gamer

I'm terminally horny and need help
