I'd say you should feel offended too, Supremeseal. This issue when it comes to objectifying or similar moral issues are arround, such as the concurrent racism vs on-white racism. Just need to point out the issues and recognize that you are objectifying. If these female friends are not going to own up also objectifying men just as men have objectified women... make it clear that is unfair. Not to any extreme, but make it clear that if either side is to have a fair share of things, they should see each other at eye level and not put themselves into the better seat just because they've been victims. If anything, it just perpetuates the issue without proper resolve.

Currently, my quip with Sylas is that he is objectified in the wrong scenario. He seemingly just broke out of prison... but has maintained a body structure that is beyond well-kept. Why let the man be shirtless with so much freedom of movement, Demacia!? If you are going to put petrecite on the guy, I'd put more than this; I've never been pleased by "breached prisons" because in most cases... there are plot pieces that just allows the escapee escape that was obvious from a mile away.

TLDR, RITO could have done it better... but kinda of expected, they just chose to go for the trope while objectifying the man. The only thing respectable of Sylas is that he fills one hole in Demacian lore: the rebel. But that's a role, and they took one of their stock personalities (I've been betrayed, so I will go on a rampage) instead of something that may be more admirable for a revolutionary who's been stuck in prison for over a decade.
