Since you are changing Corki's siren because it's triggering, here are some other things to censor.

For context:

I wanted to reach out and let you know that we've gotten some great feedback regarding the siren sound that plays with Corki's Special Delivery ability.

Admittedly, the reaction that is elicited by this type of sound effect for some players was overlooked by the team, and we're going back to the drawing board on this one.

Corki himself could be triggering to people who have been involved in war, so maybe he should be deleted entirely. As could Zilean and Ziggs, you don't want to TRIGGER anybody with those bombs and explosions, do you riot?

Don't forget about Brand and Annie, those two are insensitive to burn victims and could be very triggering.

Elise is triggering to anybody with arachnophobia, so she should be removed as well.

Some people are triggered by blood, so vladimir has to go.

Jungling has to go as well, because killing frogs and wolves is animal abuse, and that could be very triggering.

What about Singed? He could be triggering to those who have experienced chemical warfare, swain and fiddlesticks are triggering to people with crow phobias, shaco could trigger people with a fear of clowns.

What if a suicidal person hears one of Karthus's quotes and it pushes them over the edge? Better censor that too.

Dude. Get some compassion, please. It's not gonna kill them to make the sound something more cartoonish.

He's actually listed some serious issues mixed in with the humorous ones.

Besides, if someone's actually triggered by war, maybe playing a battle game based on two party magical warfare is a bad idea.

I actually thought the Corki sirens were fire. My grandpa and great grandpa are war vets, but I highly doubt hearing that would put them over the edge. Whatever though, doesn't really matter if it were in the game or not anyways

It doesn't matter, but it's riot's reasoning that makes me uncomfortable. I wouldn't care if they were just changing it because they thought they could improve it, but they're clearly changing it just to capitulate to the SJW crowd.

Gaming is already infested enough with Anita Sarkeesian's and Zoe Quinn's.

Censoring sirens though.. might as well sensor the Call of Duty series while the gaming industry is at it.

(I know Riot doesn't own Activision or TreyArch, but seriously... to censor a "trigger" siren is so dumb while games like CoD 1,2,3,4 and world at war exist)

Yeah that. I'm eating Pita chips with hummus so i'm typing/thinking with half attention.

It's more-so how annoying Corki's siren is. It plays a bit too often and it's global, so everyone hears it.

Not to mention how loud the thing is

That's clearly not why they are changing it, though. Just looking at all the posts that are saying how offended and triggered they are by it, and by riot's wording, it's clear why they are doing it.

Care to link these 'triggered' posts, 'cause I've sifted through the boards all day and I haven't seen any while I have seen a few posts complaining how loud and obnoxious it is.

Edit: I found one post and it's been thrown everywhere. Some person from Isreal... And one other where a guy is talking about his friend being 'triggered' by it. Other than that, I haven't seen anything. o.o

I don't know, maybe I am just being extremely paranoid and the rioter comment was badly worded. I'm willing to admit I reacted too quickly if riot confirms they are changing it for other reasons.

Most are quick to jump to conclusions when it comes to big companies doing something because of SJWs. There's very few people saying it's even PTSD stuff. I've seen more people comparing it to the sirens for tornado warnings in tornado-heavy states, which is less of SJW and more of 'Crap, prolly shouldn't use the same sound as a life-threatening siren', but most of the complaints are how damn annoying it is. I love Corki, but playing him sometimes is like... SHUT UP, SIREN. I KNOW MY BOMB IS READY/PICKED UP.
