Among all the backlash you're getting, Riot, I really like the new shop SFX

Seriously, the new SFX for when you enter the shop are really good. They're small and soft, but it really gives off an 'in a shop' feeling. Sounds like a small chime you hear when you enter a bridal shop. It's little things that add up to the experience.

Thanks for the feedback - still working out some of the kinks with some things being loud and annoying.

i dont know about him, but for me it's too TINTY, and Sharp.. really bothers my ears.

old sounds were perfect

i hate shop sound, spell sounds, coin sounds.. and pirate sound.. litterally everything you did to sounds is terrible

i dont want to ever change the original announcer. don't play with that. that's what pissed me off about Heroes of Newerth and had to quit.. they gave us no control and forced us to listen to annoying voices.

Like Riot Eno said, they're aware of some SFX being too loud and annoying, and I'm fairly confident that those might be the reason your ears are bothered. As for the announcer's voice, it'll be reverted once the event is over.

Damn, dude. You're so spiteful for no good reason. Better sit tight off of League of Legends, 'cause it's gonna be around for a lot longer than 24 hours.

Well lets see the HUD it's self just pisses me off and my head just throbs looking at the mini map I can't even look at the mini map any more, plus there is no ping button so you got to do that crappy hold ctrl for everything. Next thing is that I hate hearing the announcer voice it just makes me want to throw my computer screen, and finally the shop..... Omfg I can't do this any more time 4 dota.

i really like the intro theme song though.

I do think the cash shop doesn't sound as good as old one. not saying it isn't a neat sound. its a cash shop and the old sound fit this quite well.

a lot of it is a question of getting used to things though. cooldowns are a bit too pronounced for my taste. would prefer something more subtle.

i dont like ANY of the new sounds. they are too distracting and dont fit the game.

Not only do the announcer and music annoy me but it really grates on me each time i open the shop and when i buy an item and when my cooldown for a spell isn't up.. GOD it's almost like nails on a chalkboard.

they must have have hired a new sound designer because this person clearly has poor taste that doesn't identify with the rest of the world.

i had no issues with the old sounds and became rather fond of them. this is a fine example of taking what you have that is good and smashing it.

i don't even really care much for the new HUD graphics. but i can get use to those.

i wish this patch never happened... i honestly can't think of anything good that came from this patch that i've noticed.

i even dont aggree with they removing Zekkes Harald. I actually use to buy that sometimes.. but the new replacement i have no use for at all and will never buy that for any hero. they just overly complicated it

i think the riot people need to take a break and stop working on this game because they are trying too hard that they are failing and falling flat on their faces
