Battle Academia Ezreal's voice lines are so boring and full of cliché they are physically hurting me

Despite the fact we do not need even MORE Ezreal/Lux (anime) skins, these voice lines are the most uncreative thing I had to whitness in a long time. Also, why is he almost crying during every sentence?

It seems like they just took the most basic "naive anime protagonist" lines and threw them on this skin. I know they will probably never do anything about this at all, I just wanted to share my thoughts.

Furthermore, random Muramana/Manamune buffs? Uh-huh...

I am pretty sure that him saying every cliche anime thing they could think of was the point, mate. xD

Oh God... that's the definition of painfully cringy.

As for the Manamune/Muramana buffs... think again, who is getting the legendary skin next patch?

Listened 50 seconds of it...and couldnt continue. I like anime but this is beyond cringy.

I think Riot forgot the part where typically the character is thinking this stuff not saying it out loud. I mean if someone is thinking these things then that's more excusable but saying things like this out loud all the time makes me wanna punch them in the face. Well at least I can try to play Ziggs and kill these nerds.

This is a perfect representation of how trashy english dubs are 10/10.

That's. the. entire. point.

Edit: I do have one complaint about the lines, that being their actual delivery, like it's a bit strange)

Daedric Etwahl4/30/2019, 9:38:22 PM4 votes

Well... yeah no fucking shit the entire skinline is shounen battle school anime cliche.

I thought the voice lines were bad in a kinda good way. Like yeah, its every cliche in the book, that's the point lol

Half of these are taking things said in Naruto and switching the names to champions.

“If I beat Jayce, the class president, then they’ll all have to respect me!”

Konohamaru: “If I beat my grandfather, everyone will have to respect me!”

If you don't want to take a belt sander to your ear drums after listening to this there is something wrong with you.[sg-ahri-3]

It sounds like he's about to cry for half of these

precisely why i hate anime. its not realistic and this skin line does NOT fit within the fantasy/medieval/realistic fiction genre of league. even star guardian works with being cosmic heroes. This is the same issue I have with dunkmaster and pool party. Not cool designs and doesnt enhance the champion. Ik folks with criticize me for this but i have had my fill of anime and i had hoped itd stay away from this game but oh well. and giving Yuumi one of these skins is even worse as there are other themes that would fit her better (galactic, cosmic, technological etc.). But i guess to each their own.

Would have rather had Talon replace him. Or Kayn, like holy fuck, Kayn is already animu boi enough, why not him???

~~No... I don't have a crush on him....~~

The Muramana buff makes it a bit more attractive to non-Ezreal champions. Ezreal could buy it at zero AD baseline and he'd be totally fine because of how safe he can play, but most AD champions simply can't afford to dump all that gold into something that gives them so little AD early on, and the stacking requirement makes it a risky buy in the mid/late game.

Upping its AD helps Ezreal marginally, but also pushes it towards being a more effective first-buy for on-hit scaling champions like Varus, Kog'Maw, and Kai'Sa.

For Kai'Sa specifically, the new change makes it so that she gets her 100 AD breakpoint from buying it and Essence Reaver, so that's something to consider. Rushing a Tear, then building Essence Reaver, finishing Manamune, then building for more crit could be a viable build for Kai'Sa now.

It is literally titled academia.

I really like the skin and voice lines, its a taste question. I think the "naive anime protagonist" was the point of the ez's personality in the battle academia universe. Riot tries different things and i like it- Let them do it!

Shinji lkari5/1/2019, 4:45:36 AM1 votes

Remember when riot used to give legendary skins entirely new VOs, now they just use the same VOs and give new (sometimes crappy) lines. I honestly don't play new skins to sound the exact same as the base skin.

They just need to add a Japanese version of the voice over on toggle

Which is why. It's. PERFECT. This is how the skin accurately lresents boys in anime! Annoying, high pitched and confused.
