Apex has been a solid and fun game to play. Hats off to the design teams who have created an incredible experience. But Loba’s graphic design ruined the game for our family. I don’t want to see the sexualized animations, or my boys to watch them, and it insulted my girls. We’ve been solid fans of Apex since it was introduced. For such an amazing game, and with as huge a following as it has, its disappointing and seems unnecessary to take character development into the gutter. I’ve removed the game, and I’ve got to say it’s heartbreaking it’s taken this direction.

@qayaqtuli technically the age on this game is 16. If your concerned over your 16 year old seeing a fit curvaceous fictional character...... my God what has this world come to

+ Apex has a PEGI rating of 16, small children shouldn’t play this game.+ Many players specifically asked for such champion design.+ I don’t understand how presence of a good looking while bad a** champion in this game can be an insult to girls 🤔 ... shall they all just dress like men?

I hope you blocked your sons internet access because it is safe to say they watch porn everyday if you didn't.So a fat bottom in apex is the least of your concerns

The reaction online has been overwhelmingly positive.Loba has a nice figure of course, done tastefully showing little skin. Compared to many other games and TV I'd still rate it as tame.What's more offensive is all the people getting offended over it.LOL at being OK with supposedly young children shooting people in the face with lots of blood spray then finishing off knocked down people, but then painted nails and makeup? THAT'S GOING TOO FAR!

Long PostLoba was created by Tom Castello and Ashley Reed. He was influenced by the women he worked with on WWE, who wanted to be equal to, but different from, men. When he saw the lineup of female characters, he noticed an "erasure" of sexuality in their designs and designed Loba to be a woman who likes to look good. He pitched the character and it gathered support among the female employees of Respawn Entertainment. He intended Loba to be a character that women would "own" and would want to be.[2]Ashley Reed wrote Loba as "Catwoman but with Batman's backstory." Reed was inspired by the video game character Bayonetta while writing Loba's dialogue. She also often watched and listened to Shakira's single "She-Wolf" in both English and Spanish, since the Spanish version is called "Loba".[2]“I really wanted to introduce a female character who kind of owned her s*xuality and kind of owned who she is and liked to look good when she wakes up in the morning.” “We were heavily involved with all the women in the office, trying to make this realistic and not the typical female video game character.”“Tina Sanchez as instrumental to the character’s creation, Tweeting that she was “not only part of the first Loba pitch, but was instrumental and vital to her look, her style, her personality and her story.”the full article: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.dexerto.com/amp/apex-legends/apex-legends-writers-reveal-how-wwe-catwoman-inspired-lobas-design-1364395Just wanted to put some background info on this topic, loba was created and ultimately support by women at Respawn

@qayaqtuli yeah Loba is supposed to be a role model, although her flirty personality and animation are interesting. I hope Respawn notice this and make changes. It's sad to see someone leave over this.

She is lookin like a fat pigleg head slaps lookin more than a model doll than a real Legend. If Dev' want to improve teamplay in-game, they shouldn't improve some thief perks but only smart abilities that it could help teammates to be more relevant in fights. Actually, playing this caracter is just like to play a Barbie on a battlefield ! And she/it was classified in Medic's category (Ridiculous Lot of Laugh !)
Even Bangalore or Lifeline are more helpful with their skills than this cosmetic's hanger !

@qayaqtuli I wrote in to the website as well. This was a game we enjoyed as a family. as you can see from the comments below, it has become so engrained that it is okay to have some fictional body image for a woman and objectify them. Wraith, Lifeline, Bangalore respresent strength that isn't flaunted with physique. I was so disappointed to say the least and there is no way you can block it. I play on PC and removed it from my XBOX as well.

Honestly people find attractive women in video games offensive now. Im sorry but were talking a not even sexualized attractive woman in a 16+ rated game it's oversensitive parents like you who ruin games for the rest of us so bye bye we won't miss you

I'm not really into Loba's design either. I don't know- call me a prude or an elderly citizen if you may... but her character really did seem outta left-field for me. Yes, I know that is only MY opinion- and I'm sure there's men and women who're really into fashion or having that "spice" Loba's got- or the whole "Beautiful-but-Deadly" trope; But standing next the the rest of our Legends...? Eh, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who feels the same way.
