Wanna make a little extra money Riot? Alternate Announcer/Voice Packs

Tahngarthor··30 votes·1,132 views

Before anyone says it, yes, I know about the legendary skin during the current event and how it also grants a special announcer during the event only.

But if Riot is looking at new ways they can monetize and/or expand the loot system to be more like its competitors, I say look no further than alternate announcer and voice packs. And when I say voice packs, I mean independent of skins. Smite for example, has alternate voice packs for all of its characters. A lesser known DOTA clone, Heroes of Newerth, had alternate announcers for sale, some of which also changed the appearance of the announcement text as well (including one pack voiced by the man who did the voice of Duke Nukem). I'm sure there would be a market for this.

(sidenote, if it's possible, could a mod move this to the art/sound category? I picked the wrong section by mistake.)

So like Smite and Dota where you can buy announcers based of some of heroes or famous figures in the comunity?

Wishes furiously for an overly sensual MF voice pack.

Hopes in vain for an ultimate "Demacian Justice" voice pack voiced by Garen

Wishes on four stars for a theater-style Jhin announcer pack

I'd buy it. Also Jon St.John (the duke nukem guy). Heroes of Newerth also had a "Fabulous" pack with rainbow announcement text and an overly fabulous voice calling out streaks with phrases like "RAINBOW WARRIOR!!!"

I'd prefer announcer packs to be client side only though. In HoN, the announcer voice was based on who got the kill or streak etc, so you'd often see/hear multiple different voices/onscreen styles.

Hell, they could have made the Ahri announcer pack a reward for SG missions. Instead of a random champion, or as an alternative. But yeah. I might not pay for an Ahri announcer, but i would pay for some announcer packs.

I suggested this the other night, you have my upvote. I really could totally see a f a b u l o u s taric announcer, or kled freaking the fuck out over everything.

Also, i'd love to see a jhin one. Jhin Imagine getting a quadra, and he's super fucking excited, and then a penta and is just like "Erm.. technical difficulties?"

Or when you get the penta he just says Ace without mentioning the word penta
