Those articles and whatnots they posted for Kai'Sa really only burned more credibility imo.

"Oh, well, we didn't intend for her to be sexualized. But the player test base said they liked her v-neck design..." RITO... your player testbase were a bunch of ADC mains, including the more toxic ones in the later stages. No offense to them, but I believe ADC players may be more prone to being sanitized of oversexualized designs, thus the pool your assembled were unfit to judge the visuals. Once again, it's your job to play the doubt card to prevent the highly sexualized even if the test subject say so. If anything, have two pools of player base, where one is the "mains," but the other is either the normal group of League players, a pro-league player not of the Mains, or jsut some people who have a good sense of character design. Shoo on your RITO to indirectly state that the testbase had some part in the sexualization.

And yes, RITO mentioned "take Kai'Sa for her theme as a survivor"... but they chose to choose the "unharmed survivor" when the location they survived in has had many accounts of being impossible to go unharmed. RITO has made no statement of "the harm only occured in her mind" or "her biology changed" (which it may have, but they haven't mentioend it). All they say is "don't worry about her authenticity, just believe she was that badass"... which is very uninteresting. Badass fantasies are cool... but those only reel in people who don't care about the human characteristics of the champion, and just the "wow" factor of their identification (cool guns, check; jetpack looking stuff, check; sexy body even though she was near the void, double-check!). Funny enough, they wanted her to be sympathetic in the way of "I'm a monster, but I want to be human again." But as one Youtuber proclaimed (TB Skyen to be exact), her base form doesn't actually look like a monster at all with all the curves. This does go to the point, "why the V-neck" and as Primus has said, their solution to "show Kai'Sa as human even when in the suit" was a failure.

As for Kill la Kill being part of the design, I really only think the jetpack thingies were inspired by Kill la Kill. If RITO did oversexualized Kai'Sa to the standard of Kill la Kill... well, they chose wrongly. The jetpacks themselves had done enough. If anything, they only brought the cool looks and none of the more legit cool stuff like Senketsu, though I can understand seeing that there has already been recent additions of "two character in one" VOs in champs or skins.
