Many people are somehow bothered by the way the girls are dressed in the game. They say it’s doesn’t make “sense” or that it’s “unrealistic”. They say, oh they’re soldiers, why is she showing off her tits and her stomach or that her proportions are “unrealistic”. They then try to say that based off of their own subjective notions of what makes “good character design”, what is released as a skin that it’s skimpy is somehow bad. They also say it creates “shitty” skins when the characters were made to have nice bodies, that it somehow limits “creativity’ and that it opens an avenue for more sexy skins. It’s the furia thigh shit all over again.

Well, here’s the thing. The way Vivian is dressed and her proportions are completely fine. If someone could actually look like that, I’d say the proportions are fine. If I really wanted to, one could argue Talus, Grohk and SHA LIN have shitty designs, the same could be said for fucking Koga. For one, all of them are soldiers but they are either showing their entire body by being shirtless or are showing some portion of their chest and stomach with just some clothing on and not armor. They are being shot at by bullets, flamethrowers, poison and bombs and they are dressed that way? Talk about unrealistic. They are soldiers, this style of dressing won’t protect you.You see, this game is a fictional medium, from the start, the devs said they wanted this game to be a fantasy hero shooter, they never said they wanted it to be realistic. Some people even try to argue koga’s body is believable. You must have been watching to many movies or anime or cartoons that depict them as freaking bodybuilders. Ninja’s did not, I repeat did not look like ripped gymansts or bodybuilders way back in history, they simply did not in the real world.

Honestly, in a world where little kids can fight in wars shirtless and have heavy responsibilities, you wanna trip over some revealing clothing? This is so damn unrealistic… Talus and the way he’s dressed.

The art design is fine, if some of the females look completely unrealistic then so do some of the male characters but again, the devs said this was supposed to be a fantasy shooter…

Next, some people love using the term “fan-service for literally everything that could be considered something people enjoy looking at. By definition, fan-service is essentially something someone makes and if it pleases the audience, they like it, it’s fan-service. If that’s the case then literally everything could be called fan-service in paladins. I love balance changes, I love it when the devs listen to the community and do things to please them just for the sake of it.

There is no “over-saturation’ of anything. Maybe there’s an over-saturation of mulchy characters in the game…

I can say there is an over-saturation of male characters. Too many champions like over 8 are male when compared to females. The ratio of males and females, there are too many male champs… This is not some opinion, it’s a simple fact. Out of 39 champions, 24 are male and 15 female. 9 champion releases, I’d like there to be more character variety by either giving them no sex or making more of them female, all these males champs are limiting creativity hi rez.
