The silent foot steps

I know this isn't a big deal, but it's really bother me that there isn't a single foot steps sound effect in the game. Even it's just a quiet foot step, I still want to hear it in the game. It will make the environment to have more activities. Furthermore, it will be cool to hear the different foot steps sound effect from each different Champions. Example,Skarner with his insect's legs sound, Nautilus with his heavy metal foot steps sound, Hecarim with his horse's foot steps sound, and many more... Is it possible for Riot put some work in this area? Can I expect to hear these beautiful sound effects in the future? Please Riot, give this some thoughts.

Hey!

I haven't seen this topic come up in a while, and I'd be glad to give some insight.

There have been some experiments in the past with adding footsteps and movement sounds to the Champs. Results were mixed, and often times ended up getting annoying.

BUT, that isn't to say that we would never think about adding them sometime down the road. Honestly though, it's a Herculean task at this point, and probably isn't realistic; but never say never.

Cheers!

I personally wouldn't like it I don't think. It would be to much noise with when 10 champs are around you just hear taptapptaptippiytap And there is already champ move quotes. But hey my opinion.

Oh I almost forgot to mention that the sound effect while champions are walking on the river should be include if you are going to actually take this thread into work :)

ON TOPIC: i think these footsteps/wings/etc is a great idea! Just need to be careful not to add to much noise* to the game (the irony)

OFF TOPIC: Hey Riot Eno, this is totally unrelated to the topic, but since I havent received an answer in weeks, and I see you active around here, I thought I might go ahead and give it a try: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/sound-music/VIZj5Xao-any-plans-for-more-announcer-options

Hey if you were to implement this, what about the idea of sound of snow crunching as they walk for Howling Abyss?
