1st Blood, Global Taunt - League of Legends Community

First Blood, Global Taunt was a pretty supported idea from the community a few years ago but it never received a response from Riot (at least in the main thread for the idea, I'm not entirely sure on any recent upbringings of it).

I'm curious if this idea was ever set on the table or if it was ignored? If it was, what were the reasons? I know a lot of ideas such as changing the announcer's voice or adding any more "sound" to the game is essentially turned away. Why?

I still really support this idea. It's not obnoxious (perhaps have an in-game option to disable these every game for those who don't enjoy it); it's less bothersome than a champion spamming their laugh, it is played for BOTH teams ONE time only, and it really highlights the character of each champion, especially those who were lucky enough to receive legendary skins. It also adds a little comedy to the concept of the first blood announcement, which causes mixed emotions for both teams anyway. A little laugh would probably benefit the person who received the bad end. Opinions? It's perfectly fine if both League and DOTA2 have it!

Thanks for any response, either from Riot or players.

This is something I really liked back in Dawngate. Characters would banter with each other, first at the start between team members, then again in lane when you first saw your opponent, and it was character dependent, everyone said different things to different people. There were also lines for kills and kill streaks, it just added so much flavor to the game.

Garen "Come forth, you will find honor in death!" Gangplank "Enjoy your visit to Davey Jones' locker!" Zac "Go big...or go home!"

I think my favorite would be Bard Bard Chimes

I've always thought this would be great.

I like the idea. I think it would feel kinda bad for the person who gives away first blood/defeatist people in general but at the same time, it'll really make the person who gets first blood feel great and sends out a challenge to the enemy team, which could be fun for them too. I'd like this.

Good god, Chogath gets First Blood and you hear "Death is not the end for you, I have seen to it. For eternity, you are MINE!"

I'm still up for this idea!

I originally posted this thread in GD but I reported it and feel it's better moved here. The discussion/debate there turned into a "copying" issue of DoTA 2 and that wasn't really the information I was seeking. I'd really like to know what happened with this, and of course, if people still support it (thank you for anyone who does! It's a really cool idea).

They should do it. You have a right to know and bow down to whoever on either team has better wits than their counterpart. THAT is the person I am focusing ALL GAME.
