Champion name pronunciation?

Śtone··2 votes·824 views

So, a lot of people pronounce champion names differently, and some champs never really have their name said in a quote or whatever, so people are left guessing, and I know it bothers a lot of people when someone pronounces a champion name differently than them, so why don't they show how to pronounce their name right next to their name when you go to see their details?

I know this isn't really helpful, but it's kinda of cool for those who hate to be corrected on the name. (Like me)

The C in Leblanc is mute. Dont pronounce it. Sincerly, a french guy.

So say it like Le-Blon? Or like you're cutting it short, and Le-Blonh?

Illaoi is the one for me. I say ill-ao-wai.

LeBlanc gets me, so many different ways people pronounce it.

I pronounce Illaoi as Ill-ao-wee, her name is pretty difficult though, so I would like to know how it's pronounced.

I think it's "Il-OW-ee". Hard to be sure without an easy reference point, though.

Pretty much every champ beyond the earlier ones have a champion spotlight video now, in which (usually) phreak will pronounce the champions name. Actually hearing it is probably more useful than seeing attempts to type out the phonetics.

Nidalee = need-uh-lee Shaco = shak-o Vi = vee Illaoi ill-uh-oy

I cant stand names that are supposed to be pronounced in a non-intuitive way to make it more fancy. Its stupid.

Goes for spellings too. Why 2 A's in "Aatrox"? Why an H in "Jhin"?
