why do nearly all female characters are dressed like hentai characters?

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

EDIT: do not respond to this thread, the arguement is concluded and some moron just necro'd it.

apart from completly degrading and objectfying them, it also makes no damn logic.

crystal maden lives in icerak where there's basically snow 24/7 why the hell all she wears is a cape a bikini?

traxes in a ranger, so shouldn't she wear, you know... armor? rangers don't suvive very long in forests full of hostile wildlife and monsters with just a babydoll and boots.

the only character her ♥♥♥♥iness is reasonble is QoP since she's a succubus and all her lines consist of sexual inuendos...

but really, come on valve, all your previous female characters were so well done and so interesting, why did you try mimicking LoL's horrible character design?

how can anyone take warriors seriously when they just have tiny pieces of cloth for protection?

[Intelligent Heavy]

I would rather see new heroes then see every female hero get remodeled imo

[Nokiya]

Your POV is very bad.

CM is ice lady, why would she need to wear clothes anyway?
Rangers = Archers, they don't wear armor AT ALL. Because you have to move swifty. She's not a beefy warrior capable of dragging 100kg of armor.

Dota 2 females all look like fine, well dressed ladies compared to LoL.

So stupid...

Its one of the cheap ways to attract gamers.

Thank god we male gamers don't have to go through the same problems as female gamers.

Imagine if every male char was dressed in sexy male underwear with little bits of armor.

Would feel very awkward XD.

Traxes is a ranger, which tend to have high mobility. If she was in armour, how would she be able to move effectively?

Also, the sexism can work both ways. Where is Axe's shirt? I find pudges man-boobs to be offesive as well. I find it offesive that they dont need to wear shirts.

LoL's female champions wear quite a lot of skimpy clothing, most for no reason (like Miss Fortune, wuoldn't she at least wear an effing coat?)

Dota 2's female heroes are all fine, QoP's the biggest offender, but like you said it's reasonable since she's a Succubus. the second biggest offender (imo) is Luna for the skintight suit and posture. everyone else? eh, they're not even "bad", all of this is relatively tame.

hell, a lot of the male heroes are topless...

edit: also, Crystal Maiden isn't wearing a bikini...

No.
You don't seem to understand how "assassins" dress.
The less the better.

He's right.

Most assasinations in the world have taken place in beaches and pools where women wear bikinis.

Because it is very easy to conceal weaponry and move past security cos all the security staff will be busy gawking at boobs and no one will notice the big rifle you are carrying.

luna? offensive? waaaat? she is completly clothed and it's not skinright.

as for males with no shirts. they all have logical reasons why they are poorly clothed becaue they are all barbarian/tribesmen.

but for females, there is no reason, how is leaving a cleavage in your green clothes help you camoflauge yourself? how is havig tiny metal pads on your breats protect you from harm?

the only reasonlbe one i see is lina, since she lives in a desert...

god I hope this is b8

Luna's suit is probably the closest thing to a swimsuit.

Troll-in-try thread. Get a life kid.

Broodmother agrees! She objects to this crass sexploitation that requires her to run around butt-nekkid all the time!

But seriously, you could just say "why do they all dress like strippers?" It will make you sound less nerdy....lol.


Ok, really truly serious this time, I mean it, I swear.
I think it's a case of form over function (or style over substances if you prefer). They made models that looked good, realism be damned. And it's not just for the female characters.

Juggernaut, Axe, and Sven are basically wearing shoulder pads, pants, and a hat. Huskar decided that look would work for him, too, except that pants where overly confining and went with a loincloth instead. I could come up with more examples.
As one of the few really human-looking heroes, Kunkka is covered up but he's not exactly wearing what I would classify as armor. Omniknight is wearing heavy armor, but apparently didn't want to muss up those long flowing golden locks with a helmet.
And you do have female heroes, like Luna and Legion Commander, who have pretty complete sets of armor.


Basically they just created models for the heroes that where aesthetically pleasing (or alternatively, grotesque), and in some cases, yes, sex-appeal is part of that. But I don't think it's as overtly sexist as you make it out to be, especially not compared to something like that "League of Angels" thing that has apparently bought up all the advertising space on my favorite webcomics lately.
