Let's me make this short and to the point, because after much rambling I've finally gotten my viewpoint in order.

Does it not speak of a larger problem that they're so proud of doing something that shouldn't even be worth mentioning? Beyond that, they act as though illaoi is the first strong female champion to be released, which is far from true.

It's not Illaoi that I have any problems with. I have a problem with the notion that her body type being strong automatically makes her a stronger character than the other females who have similar personality. It's as though being "normal" (very few people look like an Illaoi or jinx) in body type is beginning to be shamed due to the increasing amount of people that call you out if you make an even moderately attractive female in a video game.

(If you don't care for examples and extra, that's basically my main point said and done)

Sometimes, it's deserved backlash. Just look at Quiet in Metal Gear five for an example of blatant sexualization. Other times, it's just people being stupid and overreacting to any character that happens to be sexy. We can look at Bayonetta 2 for that, a game in which the main female is depicted as confident, alluring, and often times just outright kinky. Some women are like that. If you want to call depictions of that wrong, but stand by Illaoi, then I say shame on you, because it's no more wrong than Illaoi, and just like Illaoi doesn't deserve to be condemned. You can't just say what's right or wrong when it comes to personality as long as it's a real feeling character.

League of Legends in general pretty desperately needs champions like Illaoi, but modern society is seeming to begin to demonize(thanks for the word Oda) the general 'attractive' look, which is not any sort of acceptance. Some people do naturally look like that. Some girls do enjoy makeup. Writing those people off as some sort of lesser woman is just wrong, and it seems to be happening quite a bit in America currently, which is a worrying step in the wrong direction even if it does stem from good intentions.
