Ah but you see, that isn't my argument here :). Those are good examples and commonly cited as well along with Lulu, Tristana, Lux and to an extent Vayne and Shyvana. I pay attention to both sides of the coin.

However, if you looking at some of the skin splash art for those you mentioned, it doesn't hold true consistently. The bigger problem from my previous post is the trend Riot use when they design females, as I said:-

"But the female designs tend to retain the feminine facial features of a human female, and of course the upper body section as well. Their design tends to be more limiting. For example, lets take Elise and Nami. I personally would have prefered Elise to look like a monstrous half-spider with mandibles dripping with venom, 8 eyes and so forth. And why not? It would be a unique design for amongst the female champions. As for Nami, the human features perhaps cannot be ignored -mermaid was their design direction afterall- but lets say they covered her up and gave her more fish like features instead. Would that not be unique? I think it would be :)."

And secondly now that you mentioned it, yes Riot do lean towards sexualising their female champions not included in the list. And when they do it, it becomes a re-curing trend. It becomes stale after awhile because you know what you are most likely going to expect. I read on the Riot forums they won't do an old lady character yet they have no qualms designing Zilean. Why? Preference of art direction from the Director. In my opinion, odd choice. This is why I'm looking forward to the new badass female character they promised, to see if their promise holds truth behind it.
