One of the most glaring oversights of Riot

This isn't immediately noticeable in game but when you realize that its missing you ask yourself, "How could Riot forget something as big as this?" This is the biggest thing that NEEDS to be pointed out. The voice in game that announces everything from first blood, to that glorious pentakill is the problem. Let me take you back to when I realized it.

The game was going badly. I was Thresh support and doing everything I could to hook up the enemy team. The enemy Master Yi was doing fantastic. We simply did not have the resources to bring him down. We did everything we could to keep the team afloat. Our biggest strength was our team fight. But this led to our greatest downfall. Due to our critical error, we had failed to mob their Master Yi to prepare for the teamfight. In a glorious display of violence, their Master Yi tore through us like the crappy one-ply toilet paper that somebody in the public restroom, peed on, and left on the floor. Through the sound of my breaking heart I heard the voice count up towards the holy grail. "Enemy Kill, Enemy double kill, Enemy TRIPLE KILL, Enemy QUADRA Kill..." and then it stopped. I looked, my recently broken heart trying to hold hope like a shattered glass tries to hold water (horribly, incidentally), and I saw our Sejuani running for her life with their Yi bearing down on her. And then it happened. Their Darius got her with the tip of his Q. "Enemy Kill, Aced." Thats when I noticed it. But I thought I was mistaken. Riot surely couldn't forget something like that, I foolishly thought. It was all downhill from there and we were put in a similar situation. Yi was on the verge of a pentakill, I could practically hear the furious clicking of the player willing Yi to go faster. Then it happened again! Darius got the kill! Then I knew for sure that it was missing. The voice FAILED to announce the "ENEMY PENTASTEAL."

I know this is shocking. But its true. Riot, this is a serious problem with the game and we fans who love this game more than the first time we got a furby (or when we saw that tumblr post proving that they are devil spawn) beg you to fix this.

This is my humble plea, Thank you

Hopefully you had a good little chuckle reading this. I told the Darius that I'd post it on the forums and I may have taken a little creative license but it was fun for me (and hopefully for you.

I was expecting some rage thread, but was pleasantly surprised.

10/10 This was really funny.

Sure they could do this,

but only after "VIktory" and "An enemy has been Swain"

"I could practically hear the furious clicking of the player willing Yi to go faster."

I felt like I was a part of it. I imagined my LOLs as he stole the Penta the second time. It was fun. Great story.

I also click furiously while I play Yi. Maybe it's the mark of a Yi player?

11/9 would read again

Does that mean people will actively try to steal pentas just for the announcement?

Thanks for the laugh. Needed it after I just had to slog through another 4v5.

That, and the chat needs to spam "An ally (RandomIdiot) has stolen the Baron Nashor!"

Centuros11/5/2014, 1:41:17 AM1 votes

Except the game cannot differentiate between a steal and a secure (what if Yi was running away? What if he simply was not fast enough somehow? It wouldn't be a steal by any definition then.)

Good one. Hearing "The enemy is god-like." always breaks my heart. The announcer seems out of breath when she says it.

He has a point. I wouldn't mind seeing it, just for maximum bm. But with the way Riot's sound/announcement design has been going (removal of "kill announcements cluttered by summoner names"), I don't think this'll make it in.

LuckyReden11/4/2014, 7:40:59 PM1 votes

Lol pls. There should be some form of a stat in the end game screen, and your account should be permanantly marked: Pentastealer.

Lord Dusteon11/4/2014, 1:28:58 PM1 votes

Actual suggestion wise, it seems kinda rude (think if, say, there are 4 champs mid and one splitting top. You could get a quadra with no chance of a penta. Or maybe you have 2 hp left and their enemy adc is up, you'd probably not suicide dive them) and unneeded. Seeing as there isn't really killstealing in this game (unless someone's using like, flash and ignite to get an enemy you were and could get), having a special announcement for killstealing seems....rather unnecessary.
