Tahm Kench is fucking hilarious

I wouldn't expect this many interactive taunts on another champ in awhile. One thing I like to do with the champs I work on is to find areas within their thematic, personality, and gameplay where we can do interactive and dynamic things with their voice.

Recent example: Sion has all sorts of voice oddities going on, just not tons of champion interactions.

Tahm has interactions with 46 different enemies and 46 allies (most are the same on both sides). Some champs have multiple lines as well...Azir comes to mind right away. Tahm's writer thought interactive taunts was an area to double down on considering his personality. I wouldn't expect this many interactive taunts on another champ in awhile.

Along with the taunts on Tahm, he has a subset of voice lines that are more aggressive that play when he has at least two stacks of his passive on an enemy or has a target devoured. When he's in this "aggressive" mode we switch to different voice lines for his move lines, attack lines, and basic attack voice efforts.

As much as I like interactions with champs I still think you guys should be careful and not get too carried away. If the interactions make sense go for it, but if the champion has no affiliation with a region or champion why make one? It just makes lore all jumbled up when you have no clue what the relation ship is between the two. Making people question wtf is going on? Voice overs are probably the only thing that immerses the player within the game and story at the same time without the person knowing but still having fun. So congrats to those who make them cause they get better and better.

As of now I feel like Tahm Kench is a character that has lived for a long time, that paired up with his voice gives him that great story telling vibe so I guess it's "ok" for him to know many things about the rift and it's inhabitants. Especially since he seems like the type of fish that likes spreading rumors and has inside info on certain character' "dark secret" pasts. Whether the rumours he says are true or not, you know he's a fishy character and can't be trusted.
