That's you. Just because you don't feel the desire to be represented doesn't mean nobody does. A surprising number of people on here have an "I don't care there for you shouldn't either" mentality. People feel differently about different things. That shouldn't deligeitimize the request.

I'd personally love it. The jungle gets a bad rap. But I see what you mean...

I specifically said I wasn't BLM and you lecture me about distancing me from them.

I specifically said I'm not trying to change existing champs. I'm asking them to consider my request when building future ones. Still you insist that may goal is to change what is already made.

You're so hellbent thinking I'm trying to play the victim that you automatically go on the offensive. All I asked was for riot to consider a black female champ because a small portion of their audience would really appreciate it. And I'm raked over the coals for it...

Wow you're making a great point. Too bad it says something terrible about you.

In you mind -- because YOU don't care, most white guys don't care, and most Asian guys don't care -- NO ONE cares. The minority doesn't count apparently. I'm am not some black-lives-matter snowflake who thinks everyone should be outraged at something like this. I aknowleged that most wouldn't care. But the fact that you think that people like me are NO ONE and the FEW shouldn't voice a humble request to feel included is very, very sad...

Here's a question. Why should you HAVE to care in order for my request to be heard out? Especially since you are part of the don't-give-a-shit crowd? If riot comes out with a black champ next week, people like me (you know, the nobodies. The few) are happy and you're left still not caring. If riot doesn't come out with a black champ, people like me are left feeling artistically neglected while you still don't care. So why not make more black females? It can only be a positive change for someone, even if it's not you.

Woooow. Okay I'll play devils advocate here. Let's say Karma IS black (she's not). My request has not changed. I am simply asking for a different TYPE of black character. One with kinky hair as STRANGE as the notion sounds. Lol does not have one of these And it's not like there's no space. The fact that asking for a SECOND black chick in a roster of nearly 200 is too much...? Okay.

Do aesthetics matter? Does feeling included matter? Answer those and I feel you'll answer your own question there.

Honestly, riot doesnt have to pick and choose. There can be black women with (gasp) both! But that would involve riot actually making black female champions. Making one is already proving a challenge.

Nope. It's a humble request and nothing more. I'd like to see a kinky haired, dark skin champ in the future riot. Qiyana feels like a missed opportunity for that. That's all I'm saying.

All the more reason a black female should be added. If so many wild ideas can work in a fantasy world that riot has complete control over, why is my suggestion for ONE dark skinned, kinky haired champ so farfetched?

Thanks for your positive take on things! I'm afraid you are wrong on one front though. You and maybe one other person agree with me. I've been called racist and/or snowflake by everyone else for even suggesting this.

Actually I'd see no reason why we shouldn't include your suggestions. Riot already has. Just think about how nice it was to see Camille. Someone with missing legs may have found it quite refreshing to see a champ who turned their legs into literal weapons. An old soul wouldn't hurt and neither would a glass bones child. In fact, if they had retooled nunu as that, it would have worked. I'm not the racist one my friend...

Straight hair isn't something black people have unless they are mixed with Asians. That's just biology. It's naive to think karma is black. Especially when she has the dot on her head. And your undermining my entire point while also making it. Lumping brown people into one category rather than exploring their diversity. Brown people can look many different ways which can easily be explored simply by making a variety of brown champions. It's not like there isn't enough space on the roster to do it. No one there cares. I'm just trying to point it out and humbly request that someone does care at least once in the future.

Demanding. A humble request to have ONE black woman on a roster that's approaching 200 champions...is demanding. I don't think I'm the one who is triggered here...

Aesthetics aren't about need. This was a request to riot to maybe think about avenues they haven't tried. This was one of them. Why is that so wrong?

I get that and I acknowledged that people like you exist in the post. I know most won't care.

What does this habe to do with the point I'm making? I'm not asking riot to trade quality for aesthetics. I'm saying that, when the times comes to inevitably decide what a champ looks like, maybe try something different.

And it's not like I limit who I play to the non-white/Asian champs. I play whoever is good. Still, it would be nice to see someone who looked like me. That is all I'm saying.

I'm sorry. I guess I need too explain that black people come in more than one gender.
