During the assassin updates, could Katarina get her other joke in it?

The Taco Kat·Sep 17, 2016·56 votes·2,426 views

If you go to the Katarina champion page on the client, go to Abilities and hit CTRL+1, she will say a joke that she doesn't say in game at all at the moment. She will say "Killing is my duty... Fun is yelling 'surprise!'" This line is arguably just as good (if not better) than her current joke, "If you run, you won't see me stab you!" The latter is hardly even a joke in all honesty.

She is currently lacking in lines since her last changes were in 2013 if I recall correctly, and you guys have a sound file just sitting around unused.

I honestly think I'd enjoy hearing that joke more, particularly because Katarina has no 'backstab' ability and besides her ultimate and Q (which should be used as an opener, never a finisher) she doesn't have any skills where a fleeing enemy is actually helpful.

Could be referring to how E drops you behind the target

Well aside from the damage reduction (which is getting removed) this particular mechanic isn't incredibly worth the joke like Shaco's Backstab passive would be.

It's more a reference to the fact that she's going to stab you whether or not you stick around, something she's definitely capable of.

I didn't even know you could do that. TIL I guess.

EDIT: Apparently Riot forgot too. Still waiting for the Poppy emotes to be updated.

They still have the old Fiora model (and voice) in her's.

This leads me to believe Riot even forgot about this feature.

Edit: Yup, Riot forgot about this feature. Kalista doesn't have videos for her emotes. Thus, the people released after her also don't have videos for their emotes.

they must have said fuck it, because of the new client for next season which should have all of these features and skin previews etc.

That'd make sense. Why keep doing something if there's a chance of that something won't work with something that's being developed?

Most likely side effect of alpha client. Meaning they'll just not update anything needing updated with it till new client..but just leaving the old stuff up because why not?

But I'd guess they'll have preview things in new client, just better format. Not likely to happen till they have the big migration to move everyone over to alpha (or whatever they call it when it's actually 'done').

AntiSkillshot reminds himself that people don't read the boards in the logical Chronological view. Otherwise, this person would realize AntiSkillshot's already went to this conclusion.

Yehhh, boards is setup poorly (bronzie logic, cast blame on others! xD) Read other stuff after I posted, didn't feel like deleting. :p

Meh. Not really blaming you. It'd make more sense if Chronological view was default, anyways.

Though, you'd still have to comb through the thread to see my "realization".

YOU CAN SEE THEIR JOKES IN THE CHAMP PAGE? SINCE WHEN?!?

Maligaro SpikeSep 17, 20165 votes

wtf 3-4 years playing and still didn't know you could do that

Forhonor321Sep 18, 20165 votes

First: How the fuck did I never realise you could play their jokes, taunts, etc. from the ability screen!?!?! Second: All of the upvotes to this. Her current joke doesn't even feel like a joke to me. It's just another taunt. This other one actually feels like a joke for her. Riot plz give this back to us!

playing since Kata's release... still don't know I can hear the jokes in the champion page facepalm

edit; she sounds so hyped while saying that joke. XD Kinda makes me in love even more (rofl) And less weird of how my voice sounds while I'm hyped/trolling :D

TIL we can see champs joke, taunt, etc... in the league client. There is even old things like Soraka n Ashe old voices, the old Ryze Maokai Poppy Alistar Tristana Kassadin or Yorick

They really need to update their old bugged client asap

Jeddy017Sep 18, 20162 votes

Well, they are updating they're client. It's just in Alpha stage right now.

BagguetteSep 17, 20161 votes

They had the same problem with riven but fixed it. When she uses her ult she would still say "a broken blade is more than enough for the likes of you", but they fixed it to say "you are beyond redomption". Maybe they will fix this next patch
