Let's take skins to the next level, eh?

Let's add in voices that fit the champion for the new skin they receive. For example, if a champion is going to receive a skin that makes him/her more menacing, give him/her the voice to act the part, apart from his/her original, friendly skin (and vice versa, if a champion were to receive a skin that makes him/her more friendly, apart from his/her original, menacing skin).

This would make playing the champion with the new skin so much more enjoyable. Riot, you're bathing in cash. What's stopping you from getting the voice actor of the champion to come in and give a few new lines?

I understand that some people are going to think, "But isn't that basically taking the skin one step further to becoming a legendary or ultimate skin?" Well, depending on how much RP the skin would cost, if Riot decides to go through with this, it may be, indeed, one step closer. But looking at it from the real perspective, a skin is supposed to change a champion. A champion is not changed if something is left behind (the voice or what he/she says and how).

Riot, please spice up the skin game in League of Legends. Trust me, from a business point of view, you will be bathing in more money than you are now. From a true gamer's perspective, he/she will truly enjoy the game more than they do now.

Have you ever heard of Legendary/Ultimate skins?????? They do just that, your idea doesn't take skins to the next level. Also, it takes a lot of work to do a complete voiceover for a champion, Riot would never make those skins for less that 1820 RP.

You don't know how much the exact amount of work is for a voiceover so no one but the RIOT'ers can be certain on that. As for you comparing my idea to Legendary/Ultimate skins, it's stupid. Those kinds of skins change everything. Log-on screen, profile border, music, etc. All I'm asking for for when simple skins get released are just a few substituted phrases to match the skin.

Not true at all. I for one know the kind of work that goes into voice overs, as I am a Voice Over artist. Voice Over takes quite a lot of work for these types of games. Several of the newer champs or champion updates have 100 hundreds of lines for their base skins alone, then the Legendary and Ultimate skins do the same thing. Those kinds of things can take hours/days depending on how they schedule their recording sessions.

They even list the tier work for each skin here https://support.riotgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/201752874-Guide-to-Skin-Price-Tiers what you get in each Tier and that's the way they've had it since they redefined the skin tiers in 2013.

Hoo boy, and then you have to factor in retakes and those $1000s of dollars per hour those booths probably cost.
