What is Xayah's post kill trash talk supposed to add to league's play experience?

Just wondering why it's critically important for my play experience to hear Xayah say something every time she gets a kill on me, even if my champ voices are turned off and her summoner has been muted.

There's this awkward situation with newer champions where Riot seems to think constantly talking at all times is a good idea. The epitome of that is Camille with her five second long sentences on a low cooldown skill, and most of her lines boiling down to saying "I'm better than you and you're an idiot". Can be occasionally nice for people playing her, very aggravating when you're dealing with one.

If at first you don't succeed, THROW ANOTHER VOICE LINE!

I think that came from Riot trying its hardest to copy how HOTS work.

And ofcourse, once again they copied it badly.

I've always thought HoTS's on kill quotes were awkward. They feel more natural in league, but at the same time I wish I could turn some of them off. Like Camille......

i think Riot tried to copy that liveness aspectof HOTS, where heroes talk to each other like "go heal up" whenever they pass by each other

You realize every single champion has a voiceline when they kill someone?

No they don't. Only some of the more recent champions have extended voice files, older champs have a very limited number of lines.

and my most valid argument for this is that if these champs didn't have v/o's on kill, and you were to type it instead, it would constitute a chatban.

Well it makes you hate her more like elementalist lux's auto bm.

It's annoying. If you kill her she says "seriously?" Like it wasn't her fault too lol.

I imagine her blaming her team or riots balancing all enemies that kill her as op. :)

So, T1 is allowed to be a toxic kid and praised for that such that a whole cult has been formed but a character not taking it good is questioned?
