OH HOHOHO!

Anyways, the over-sexualization of women in video games originates from Lara Croft. Instead of being "just a woman" she was an OVERTHETOPACTIONHEROWITHAWESOMETITSANDBUTTOCKS.

She more or less started the trend of being overly-attractive but still kicking ass. That transitions over into modern games as well. Of course, a much more realistic style of characterization is being used in games like The Last of Us to capture the reality of people in general but for the most part, that rule is still applied to action-y women.

But you have to remember that champions like Ahri and Evelynn are intended to be seductive, as thats part of their character. What helps them "do their job" so to speak.
