I Think Its Time To Add Announcer Packs

ThrowinHands·11/23/2014, 10:38:36 PM·33 votes·4,098 views

As we have seen, DoTA2, and other MOBA's support, and sell announcer packs, that can be truly entertaining, and seems as another good way to get some more money (im talking to you riot) and some of them are quite enjoyable, and entertaining, such as the Stanley Parable DoTA2 announcer pack, so why cant we have these in league? I am pretty sure most of us would pay for an awesome/comedic announcer pack, such as a Draven announcer pack or a Taric announcer pack, I don't see what limits you from doing thus. You can place it at a moderate price, and allow it that if someone buys it, they may let other people witness it, by sharing it in the games they go into(obviously with permission from each singular player)so league can have some variety every now and then, and so the lady who announces everything in league can finally take a break.

Obviously some may disagree, and obviously I may not be heard, but this is my own thought and opinion, and I do hope that you can take some time to consider suchitem 3056

I really support this! I can't tell you how much I would love to have a Joe Miller announcer pack with a special feature where every time Soraka got a kill you would just here him say "Bananasss".

James Earl Jones please. That's Darth Vader for those who don't know.

I'd pay for the Bastion one. Stanley Parable would be good too.

I'd really like an Ahri one! ;D

But what we really need is John Madden (Frank Caliendo version), Samuel L. Jackson, Don LaFontaine (movie voice guy), AND...Morgan Freeman! XD

What I would pay....

This is a solid idea, i find my games in Dota fresh and new when i get different announcers, different in game music, and even random weather affects.

Yea here is the Stanley Parable pack for dota2. Listening to it now. Its HILARIOUS

Announcer Pack

Because our announcer only has roughly 15 lines.

You can manually put in announcer packs, I believe blakinoa has one you just need to put in the right folder.

ugh, i really dont like this idea, no offennce. I think all people should have the same experiance. For example, if skins were changed so that if you bought pulsfire ezreal, all ezreals that you meet would have that skin, it would just be... bad. Or if you got map skins, and you saw the map differently from everybody else. Im sure riot wont do this, because it just dosent work with league.

While I agree, I worry about some illegal (?) ways of getting those Voice Packs. Making almost-perfect copies of Announcer Packs for free is much easier than doing those of Skins and Summoner Icons, and copies can cause a trouble if they are meant for RP-purchase.

But I see no other real reason not to do that. If they won't really make those as RP-Purchase, they can do as achievement-based unlockable contents. Also Announcer Packs are not limited to Champions, so non-combatants can join the game (if the lore is still a good thing).

EDIT: Cut details off to shorten this post. also - "Achievements" vary. They don't always have to be difficult like the Perfect Ascension icon (in this case, they should not be; one of the points was having players unlock the Announcer Packs in a legitimate way instead of just copying them, another was causing less trouble even if copied) ...RP/IP-purchase is probably a better choice, even with a possible risk I mentioned above.

I don't even play with the announcer on anymore. After 4 years, it's annoying.

Hey guys, after reading all that you have said, and all the positive suggestions, I just want to thank you for supporting my post, and also hopefully taking us one step closer to the possibility of this thread being seen by riot, and being considered!

Also, I really like the ideas that you guys have come up with for possible announcer packs, and I have gotten quite a kick out of such too.

Keep the idea going, and maybe Riot can make this a possibility! item 3056

just copy dota, it already works there. While they're at it, they should take a few other things.

It's BEEN time to add announcer packs for quite a while. While it sorta makes me biased towards this (but then, it's not like this is a balance change, so I don't think that really effects the validity of my post/support for this), I've literally been waiting for this to be implemented before I start playing league seriously again. I want my own announcer, and I want it now! throws wallet at Riot

P.S. Official support (i.e. an interface, stuff to make it easier to use, that kinda thing) for custom announcer packs would be even better!

Agreed. I have the Stanley Parable Announcer pack for Dota 2 and it makes the game much more entertaining.

riot plz item 3073
