[Vote] Should Champion Quotes play upon selection in New Champion Select

Igotlazy··47 votes·1,658 views

Originally when the New Champion Select was released whenever a Champ was locked in every player would hear their Quote. However recently this feature was removed as Riot deemed it to be too distracting. Personally I loved this feature as it added build up to the actual game along with allowing me to keep track of who was being picked if I tabbed out. Without it Champion Select doesn't feel anywhere near as exciting, just too much dead air.

I want to hear what the playerbase thinks.

At the very least make it a toggle. I actually like hearing champions quotes but some may not.

Dude... do you have any idea how much resources that'll take for 0 gain for rito?

I do. Not many.

The same amount it took to remove it? I'm no expert but I'm pretty sure if a random dude with rpg maker can program a door it's not that complicated to make a toggle switch in the menu for a type of sound. Maybe I'm wrong but It doesn't sound hard or resourse consuming at all.

Some random dude made stardew valley!

I'm sure rito can program champion quotes no problem

but i mean... 0 monetary gain is all they see

wait monetary gain did they have to remove it?

A Basic Island1 votes

my guess is it got removed accidentally and they aren't gonna bother to put it in

Why didn't you just add the poll using the "poll" function on the boards?

Igotlazy1 votes

I tried. For some reason it wouldn't let me create a post with a poll, so I just said screw it and used strawpoll.

gotcha, well you can't add a poll by editing the op. If you tried on the original draft then it must have been a bug :/

I loved hearing every quote. It was cool and flavorful, and it also let me know who was locking what in while I tabbed out of champion select, often times looking up builds and counters.

I miss it. I could tab out and read the news and if I heard that dreaded Teemo or Darius quote I would know not to consider Nasus, leads to less fumbling around once it's finally my turn

Riot warned me about Garens hiding behind external links.

Way to dangerous for me I can't even go on a tilt-o-whirl anymore. To much spinning.

Didn't Riot KateyKhaos say that it was an unintended bug? I do miss it, though.

I don't even want to talk to my teammates 90% of the time. The quieter and quicker I get into the game, the better. Most times, I just minimize the window because currently, people are talking about getting high in selection.

I don't understand anyone who plays without the intention of winning the game. Winning is fun. The rest of it is just noise.

I agree; it really hyped me up before a game! And it was really cool!

I would love if it came back, even as a toggle.

Riot specifically said that they would also like to have the quotes put back in, however they need to find a way to make them not drown out the "your turn to pick" sound.

I loved hearing all the champ quotes while I was waiting. Got me hyped for the game.

I only cared about it because I could learn champion quotes without playing them.

If they impliment this feature then they better allow me to turn that shit off. I may be the minority here, but I don't want to hear a fuck load of champ select noise.

I like the champ select quotes. imo the background music is epic but more distracting than the champ select quotes

Straw Polls are a pathetic excuse for finding out "what the player base thinks." I still upvote :P

Igotlazy1 votes

Pathetic excuse? They get the job done in my opinion.

I have no idea why it would be a good idea to remove character from the game. Hell, the champion select quotes allowed people who didn't play that champion get a little taste for their character and maybe become interested in playing them and spending money on their skins.

Removing champion select quotes makes no sense.

A Basic Island1 votes

literally my favorite thing about new champ select was getting to hear all the quotes of champions i never click on

I honestly can't believe rito is this stupid, oh wait yes i can

Riot is too lazy to even make a toggle of anything, really.

Other than stuff that's made from 6 years ago.

I loved that feature. No idea why they decided to remove it.
