    Fun fact: In the Italian language, LoL censors the word God. Since there are some heavy swear and curse words involving god, which would be considered "unholy" normally, LoL just censors God and let's you understand which kind of "heavy swear" the other guy said in chat.

      This reminds me of the English version of an online card game called Shadowverse. The whole thing is infested with various mythological references, from Pazuzu to judeo-christian archangels to Greek mythology to Quetzalcoatl. Anyway, in the Japanese/Korean/other European languages, there's a card quite explicitely called "Satan". In the English version, though, they went with the more euphemistic "Prince of Darkness". I think there's something similar with a card called "Heavenly Aegis" in English, which, iirc, is "God's Shield" or something to that effect in other languages. The weird thing is, they're fine with Zeus, including his summoning phrase "I am the Father, the God of All", so they aren't actually consoring the term "God" itself.

    Go to your champion collection and you see Evelynn, she still has the uncensored load-screen crop. Click on her and then click on Skins and there's her wild rift censored splash. Just a bizarre change since her load-in splash when you play a game is still the uncensored.

      Reddit users and twitter users "crying about pride issues" actually does not care at all whatsoever about any of this. They care only for the performative action, that is the act of boasting about being progressive, left-leaning and "liberal" (not classical liberal in any regard) They somehow mix authoritarinism in the most extreme way with liberalism, I don't understand how they can make it work on an intellectual level, let alone practical. It must be hard for them, being that full of hate and the whole world to direct it on. Oh how I pity them.

      In the case of governments and geopolitics I get it. But when it's due to "incensitivity" it's always bullsht. A made up problem that requires resources to its solution. It's really sad. You can check out on the Riot Games RUclips account (not League of Legends) they have a new video titled Latinx smth and its ratio is insane. Plus the comments are all expressing their frustrations.

    Jinx is my favorite character and I'm a long time Jinx main, and her Wild Rift model just confuses and infuriates me. Part of Jinx's character is that she doesn't care what other people think of her and she acts all wild and crazy all the time. Clothes take effort and consideration that Jinx simply doesn't want to spend, and part of it is her own wild eccentricity, which she expresses when she tells Ziggs in their short comic that she wasn't wearing a top in a restaurant because she was about to eat cake.
    Anyways, my point is the bandages/wrappings for her chest are antithetical to what they've established her as. Those take time to bind properly and make sure they are snug, thats time Jinx wouldn't care about and just skip it entirely so she could focus on her next big explosive instead. Now, I understand the censorship, but its still just really off putting for me as someone who has invested a lot of passion into the character.
    Unfortunately, any complaint I have about it will most likely just get seen as 'gamer boy wants fictional girl to wear less clothing cause he's pervy', so it makes it a frustrating opinion to articulate openly.

      It's in the same line as the creation of Seraphine. Just watched a video on what Seraphine means to the lore of Runeterra and it's pretty much 0. Who knew she was from Piltover? I didn't, she clearly doesn't look the part. What's her aspirations as a champion? She "wants to help other people find their voice". That doesn't sound generic at all, I'm sure they put a lot of effort into that one.
      She was made to please the chinese playerbase, China has like 30 servers dedicated to them while almost all of America (South America excluded) has one combined.
      So they made a pop star skin that joined K/DA as a chinese singer and threw a 30$ skin on the release.
      Sorry, ranted a bit, I fully agree with you. The changes serve no purpose other than pleasing some minority that make their voices heard through Twitter, sucks really as a lore and world building lover of the game.

      yeah thats a massive problem in most games. some characters are made to either not care about their clothing, or want to be light/nimble, and censorship removes the immersion, people (mostly twitter) will always try to make the case of ,,immersion isnt that important, and u are a perv'' but thats BS, assasins/rogues in video games cant have 50 kilos of armor, or some accesories like ,,boob bandage'' and still have the immersion.
      i dont remember the game, but there was this girl that was suicidal, she didnt care if she died as long as she pulled someone with her, and she had a loose T and some shorts, and she was .... busty i guess. and the company was forced to completely change her appearance, clothing wise and... genetically

      I mean yea. Iran and Syria are as close to enemies of the US as you can get without being in a hot war. The US has no reason to allow enemies of theirs to use anything of theirs. If Iranian citizens want that to change then they must change their government enough that they are no longer enemies of the country who's stuff they want to use.

    ngl I think the "more clothed" version of the skins looked much better and added more personality to the characters. Clothing is a big part of the character design, and the lack of it also can tell a lot about a character, when most of your female characters lack clothing they also lack big design opportunities and start to look more and more the same. Seriously, just take a loot at Janna, she looks 200% better and much more interesting as a character.
    Too bad it takes actual laws to make Riot stop being lazy on their designs.

      Ehm... I don't think universally applying the "more clothed is better" is the right way, either. Looking at the Janna example, she takes on a human form, but she is a wind spirit, and thus distinctly inhuman, what does she care about fashion or modesty? Without getting into better ways her design could show this, the scanty suit is odd and shows a lack of social awareness beyond "Ma'am, you'd best cover those up because... well just because!" But what does the more clothed version we see here do to communicate her character? It's just the uncannily scanty suit made longer, which makes it less of both. The extra material doesn't even look like it allows any airflow, like at all.
      Looking at the obvious example of the other side... yeah, Ashe needs to be wrapped in at least a couple layers of furs and leather, and adding anything to her outfit is a step in the right direction.

      That's why Leona is one of my favorite champions design-wise. There was so much effort put into the design, and where a lot of champions lack personality due to Riot pushing for more sex-appeal, they could instead use clothing in better ways for characters whose personalities suit it well. Ofc Evelynn, who's literally a sex-demon, isn't gonna have normal clothing, but someone like Janna has a whole lot of missed design opportunities.

    As iranian I confirm that we are not able to normally play all riot games, epic games store, ea origins and also apex legends (we are actually able to play it normally if we download it from steam), Ubisoft games, and a lot more games. There are some ways to play these games if we use a dns Changer and change our dns or using a VPN (which is not the best way because we get bad ping compare to dns changers).
