Karthus not having a global quote was the original Grave's cigar

Karthus can have a global quote but Graves can't... oh, Karthus doesn't have a global quote? Well then...

probably related to kled being new, while karthus was a release champion

He got a VU back in 2014 with new lines.

Yeah but they've made a lot of changes to the standards of voiceovers since 2014. Look at how much dialogue Ivern has just for meandering through the damn jungle by himself.

It was around the same time Kalista got released. She has global lines too. While having no global ability.

Rito simply ignored it.

This in particular angered all the Karthus fans. I'm not a Karthus fan, but I loathe Kalista, so I was angry as well.

karth has a global taunt. it's the great despair you feel when your at 1% hp and this great piller of light that you cant get away from showers your champion for 3 seconds letting you know that your about to die and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Probably because a gigantic skyward beam on 5 enemy players is enough and his champion selection quote is already obnoxious. item 3157

Karthus Ult would be so much better with a shorter delay. Why does Soraka get an instant global heal but Karthus has to wait 3 seconds to deal damage?

Counter play reasons, I'd assume. An instant ~700 damage nuke mid-late game would be extremely unfair

I would unironically be okay with Karthus ult being % HP true damage that goes through immunities, shields and untargetabilty.

Would be fucking hilarious.

I think 15-20-25% Max HP true damage would be about right, don't you?

Voluug131 votes

But only on untargertabilities. And inmunities.

Because fuck Fizz.

Because he needs time to say something cool before instant death rains upon your head.

I'd love to hear Kled's global taunt

Haven't played in a while and want context

The only reason I can get from it is that it's because it's not cluttering up things. Karthus already has a pretty big obvious ult, one likely used during the middle of a teamfight, that can audibly clutter key sounds, let alone visually.

Course, that's only my reasoning.

Yeah, idk why Illoai says things to the whole map all the time, but the most distinctive and impactful global ult doesn't

Wait he does? What does he say?

When Kled kills Tahm Kench the whole map hears "Well, that shut him up!"

I remember them saying that they couldn't because his voice lines in other languages are longer than his English lines.

Well, I think Riot believes that a giant pillar of necromantic magic is enough.

I love Karthus but I don't care too much about global VO with one exception. Pentakil skin. It needs to sing "I AM THE LIGHTBRINGER!!" when you ult.
