Announcers, Riot - We all want them. Better yet... LCS Caster Announcers.

Going to kick off this post by saying that I'm extremely happy with your work lately. The Bilgewater event is great, the lore associated with it is top notch, and the new map is a great reskin. However, I'm going to bring this to your attention again, perhaps as something you might consider looking at later down the road - Announcer Voice packs. Players have been making posts about these for a while - that should be enough to see that we would LOVE to have new Announcer options. We like variation, we like personalization, and we like being able to customize our League expirience. You guys did an entire rework of the announcements and callouts for the Burning Tides event, which changed the voiceover to mimic Gangplank's. Honestly, you should keep it, and throw it in the shop. Bundle it together with the Piratey music. Boom. 2,000 RP bundle. Bilgewater Announcer pack.

But, even better, you guys should grab your casters - Monte, Phreak, Kobe, yada yada... and have them do voiceovers for the existing announcements. That would be epic. I would forfeit my paycheck to your amazingness for an entire year if you let me buy Monte as a commentator. I know you guys have champion updates, new designs, esports, and general life to deal with, but you can start simple just by putting this Bilgewater Announcer and the Pirate Background Music (both of which are amazing) into the shop. I have no doubt people would leap on the opportunity to scoop it up - and the work has already been done to produce it.

Again - really happy with what you've been doing lately. Not trying to whine and complain that we don't have announcers, or yell at you and tell you why you should add them. I'm just suggesting you keep them in mind. :) I'm telling you, people will love them.

Only if Phreak says puns in it (and it would be cool to get a mix of all of the casters in 1 pack, like if it was an actual LCS match)

Their are ways of changing it but no official ones. I direct you to this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IRTi6dbvxs Unfortunately the new announcer broke this.

I'd pay for a Deficio announcer pack among others, but it must include his epic "Can someone please die already?!" line if someone doesn't die by 20 minutes.

i'm fine with this idea so long as i dont have to hear them.

if they take the same approach as Heroes of Newerth and force everyone to have to hear the announcer that you bought i will probably quit playing this game, which is what happened with me and HoN. I use to play HoN more than LoL... until the announcers they forced you to have to listen to. they wouldnt let use have our own announcer, for our ears only.. nooo.. they forced us to have to listen to everyone's crap and people would purposely buy the most annoying announcers to get extra attention.

I love this idea. I have grown fond of this new Bilgewater music and Gangplank voice and I really don't want it to go! I would pay to have them both to keep! :) Oh and Riot could even make other themed music and announcer, like Shadow Isles, etc :) That would be awesome!
