I preferred the interpersonal talk between the Summoner and Champion rather than the current quotes

In my opinion, they don't even sound "real" anymore. The quotes and "life lessons" really don't come off to me well at all, i.e "HOPE, IS THE GREATEST ALLY!" or "something death, philosophical observation relating to the champion" or some god damn short quip or monologue about their life. They don't sound like actual people anymore.

Preferred, "On it." or "Are you my nightmare? Or am I yours?" or "Yes, summoner." "I'm moving as fast as I can." All the new VOs literally delete any implication that the champion is talking to the summoner. I really miss that shit.

There's no reason to NOT bring them back ever since Riot confirmed Summoners still exist. Successful characters in video games actually feel like humans, like you can connect with them.

You make them too philosophical or too simple and it doesn't come off naturally + doesn't really motivate you to like the character. This is a major reason why I don't like any of the new released champions.

Offenders of this: Yasuo- His pseudo-philosophical quotes when he's simply moving is just off-putting. Cool guy, cool lore, but it doesn't sound natural in the slightest.

Azir- SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA SHURIMA

Karma- I literally played her once and probably won't play her again (half reason is that i suck with her). It gets really annoying at one point.

tl'dr: summoners exist riot please bring back summoner-champion connections
