Older champions need more voice lines

Arthimetes·Jun 25, 2016·4 votes·695 views

There needs to be some sort of sweep updating some champions' voice lines.

For example, has absolutely NO special interactions/taunts/quotes when buying items, just his baseline quotes and that's it. I mean I could think of some quotes for him right now.

"Reminds me of the cage" "now my flames burn brighter"/"now even their burns will burn"/"double the fire, double the vengeance"/"torment? no, this is bliss" taunt: "long time no see, Lissandra"/"Like the new body?" taunt: "hasn't anyone told you what happens when you play with fire, little girl?" taunt: "oh look, firewood." "heh. Frostburn" taunt: "you call THAT fire? Pah." "Nothing but pure fire"/"now I can burn through anything"

I'm sure other old champions could use some more voice lines too, Brand's just the one I notice since I main him.

That would be hard because you need to get the same voice actor and what If they don't accept?

Then fuck the old voice actor and just get a new one to redo the old along with the new.

That would also be hard as most of the voice actors give character to the champions and getting a new one would give them less character

This is what they do with big Visual updates, friend. It's also not really a cheap endeavor. Y'know that some of the VAs are really pricy, right?

Also, the lines here for Brand are... Kinda goofy. Too goofy for everyone's favorite walking hibachi. And the Bami's cinder kinda makes no sense for someone playing him to ever buy too... Just gotta put that out there. Some alternatives...

item 3027 "All things are cast to the flame with time..."

item 3041 "Their Souls will feed the Inferno!"

Maokai "Dry timber cast to the flame."

Zyra "A garden of ashes..."

Ryze "Here, let me help you get rid of that paper..."

Janna Yasuo "Your wind only feeds the flame!" "You can't snuff me out!"

Lissandra "Our goals are in conflict..." "Your frozen kingdom won't be spared!"

Azir "I will turn your empire to glass."

Fiddlesticks "How 'bout a little fire, Scarecrow?"

I threw in a few silly ones, but there's some good serious lines there too.

Some champions have quotes for items they'll never buy just for fun, like i think Jhin has one for Liandry's, but I do like your suggestions as well.

To be fair a lot of champions don't have special interactions. If brand got some, then everyone should. Which WOULD be cool, but then the interactions wouldn't be special anymore. Cause everyone's doing it. :(

Every new champion has "special interactions" not meaning they're special in a sense they're rare, just meaning they only trigger towards certain people and things (jokes or taunts towards certain people, Like Jhin taunting Tahm for example).

And I flat out said "I'm sure other old champions could use some more voice lines too, Brand's just the one I notice since I main him."

I'm all for every single older champion having voice clips, but I think the ones who actually get those are the more expensive. Because it requires more time to make them. Riot would probably jack the prices up on the champions. But I wouldn't mind more voice clips.

They fully rework champions without changing the price, giving them new models, kits, voices, lore, and splashes, just the voice alone would never change the price of a champion.

But you gotta think dude. There are a lot of champions without special interactions. Imagine how much it would cost to give all of them new voice clips...

ArthimetesJun 27, 20161 votes

Imagine how much it costs to completely overhaul a champion giving them new Rigs, animations, textures, voices, abilities, etc. They're practically mass-producing reworks nowadays.

Besides it's not like Riot has a mountain of money from this game or anything.

Cloak and SwordJun 27, 20161 votes

When they rework a champion, it is ONE champion. One at a time because it takes time and money. Going through every single champion who doesn't have interactions and giving it to them would be a lot of work and not enough pay. They'd be losing money at that point because I am pretty sure summoners buy champions with earned ip more than rp...

ArthimetesJun 27, 20161 votes

They don't only work on a single champion at a time dude, Riot works on multiple things at the same time, like right now they're working on Yorick, Ryze, and I'm sure 2 or more new champions are currently in development.

Riot is a massive company, they have the resources to take on multiple huge projects at a time.

well good luck with your idea.

I could picture this being done for old champs when new champs relevant to their lore are added, or for the likes of Jhin and Kench to have new taunts for new champs.
