Announcer voice changes are poorly timed

I find the new announcer really frustrating. But the main reason why this is, is probably because we're already put out of our comfort zone because of the new HUD. The new announcer is supposed to be a fun theme thingy like the pool party minions and some of the quotes are really funny, but in general, playing League feels very different now. I don't feel like playing the same Summoner's Rift even though the map didn't change.

The new HUD, imo an amazing update, takes time to get used to. People are currently confused because everything swapped places and/or just look different now. Combined with this, a strange announcer voice really puts people off the game.

Can this be a lesson for you to not add such event bonuses when there are great adjustments made to the game and people need to adapt? It's really fun if the game is stale otherwise, creates some refreshment really. But the new HUD already does that, and too much refreshment at once is... too much.

I wish there was a way to change it back, or wish they'd give us the option to switch background music. After they disabled the new UI, we have the option to select the Classic music theme, but it's still the Bilgewater one.

i dont like either change. The announcer just doesnt sound good and while the HUD looks good the information is too compacted to the bottom right corner.
