@Riot: Previously unused voice lines popping up in skins?

yay nibbers··8 votes·1,094 views

I was testing out the new PROJECT skins on the PBE and I noticed something rather peculiar about Fiora and Leona's skin in specific. On top of their fancy cyborg voice filters, they were saying new lines. One line each, mind you. Fiora's being "Let them eat swords." Leona's being "Pen or sword, the shield is mightiest," and "The day is upon us." Lines neither champion says in their other skins. Seems like it might've been an accident including them (filtering all of their voice files, probably automatically with some program, and not really paying much attention to what lines go through), though they sound really cool and fit the skins in particular.

This all brings up a couple of questions: Are there other champs with unused voice lines, either because they aren't good enough or just don't fit? And was the inclusion of these "new" lines in the skins an accident or on purpose because they fit the skins?

Maybe they added a few new ones just to show off the new fancy voices :D

If they're making and adding new voice lines, then they'd bump the price up. The OP's idea is more likely.

New lines generally mean rehiring voice actors which costs money and not something they usually do for skins below the legendary tier. Indeed that is why I think they're unused lines rather than new ones.

They added the filter on top of the new lines, which means it was indeed intentional

Filtering is intentional. Filtering all the voice files is intentional. Filtering voice files which don't exist for the base skin is not intentional.

The "pen or sword" line is one of Leona's taunts, I think. I know I've heard it before. "Let them eat swords" also sounds like a taunt. Maybe the files got put back in the wrong location? Taunts playing as move quotes?

The "pen or sword" line is an attack line and so is the "Let them eat swords" line. They aren't said on either of their default skins. Leona's only taunt is "Next time, try to leave a dent" as she bashes her shield.

Edit: I made a mistake, the "pen and sword" is a movement line rather than an attack line

I know I've heard it before. I'll go see if I can find it.

EDIT - Not seeing it online. I'll check out in game to see if I can get it tonight.
