Can we keep thematic announcers on their respective thematic game modes?

Summoner's Rift isn't GP's territory. There are no markings depicting that it's pirate themed. There are no pirates and yo-ho-hoer's sitting in the background of the map. It's a neutral ground where summoners resolved problems. So why is GP the announcer for Summoner's Rift? Does he own it? With all those silver serpents he bought SR?

I am not a fan of listening to GP comment on every fucking tiny thing that happens in game. I don't want to kill someone and hear,

"YO HO HOO FUCKING HO YA SPILLED HIS GUTS ALL OVER THA FLOR BOARDS!" or "YARGUHHARFUCKING HARRRR YER DUMBASS TEAMMATE FED THE MANITEES!" or "YA STUPID HEDS DIDN'T WARD THE DRAGON! NOW YER OPPONENTS GOT DA BIG BOOTY!"

Now you could argue I could mute the new announcer and I have, but I really just miss the brief announcements made that tells me a champion was slain. And that's it. It doesn't have to be thematic. The the rift was never thematic to begin with so why start now!?

Even the old announcer didn't talk every 20 seconds when something small happens. She was very considerate. She understood that you were busy with your team fights and your pentakills! So when you nabbed yourself a multikill, she'll just say the most recent event but when something really important happened, she rooted for you! (or shamed you for you letting the enemy have a pentakill with her stressedly toned attitude.)

But now, it's like we lost our Summoner's Rift mother and replaced her with some drunk hobo that's having a bloody friggen giggle when anything happens. :'( He doesn't even care that you got that pentakill..
