About "Voiced" pings.

When Xayah and Rakan got released, they of course got a ton of special interactions, because of both the double champion release and the couple champions stuff, however, there is one thing that I found (and still find) really interesting and helpful. When both are in the same team, they have bonus Voice Over on their pings.

I don't know if Riot understand how powerful this may be. If two non-premade players pick Xayah and Rakan but both don't play bot (let's say Xayah mid and Rakan supp), this gives them bonus map awareness as hearing a voice rather than a simple sound catches more attention (may it be a good and a bad thing).

This brings me to the point of this thread, why stop at Xayah and Rakan? Why don't Riot applies a voice over pings rather than hardly distinguishable sounds? Personnally after 5 seasons in I still can't (or can hardly) tell the difference between them. As said before, a voice (or spamming pings) catches a lot more attention than a single ping. Playing as Rakan (with a Xayah on my team), I've been caught off guard a lot less with this functionality.

Riot could add a "base" announcer voice and progressively add more voiced pings as champions get released/updated. ######Also where are announcer packs already.

But seriously, this could be a huge QoL improvement.

There's a radius to the voice line activation. Rakan can't be top lane and Xayah be bot lane and their lines go off when hey ping.

Okay but it still works from mid to bot.
