Lore in every sentence

I don't honestly know how many of you even pay attention to what your hero is saying, be it while attacking or moving across the map to gank.

I thought of this while playing Fiora, and noticing that most of what she says is ambiguous and vague. "Insolent peasants" being one such thing that sounded odd to me, since her Lore text however short the 'lore team' has made it now makes me think that she grew up around corrupt nobility, so that line doesn't really make a lot of sense to me without more background and detail.

It's at this point that I started to realize how little all of the champions had to say about themselves or their countries or anything. There's very little emersion unless you're playing a custom skin a good example being the newly released Yi with new lines that speak about him and how he remembers Ionia and such.

I'd like to know the general consensus on it. Are you guys happy with the current string of one liners most of the champions say?

Another example of this is how Anivia has lines like "A thousand lifetimes will I give to the Freljord" Which does support the Lore new or old that she's ancient and powerful, a guardian, etc... but that's all we know about her really. I don't think there are any champion lines about her from other champions, and there isn't much else in detail.

When I ask for more, specifically I just would like more details added in to what exists already. For me at least, the dialogue of league can fade into the background, since they rarely say anything important or worth listening to. as difficult as that is for me to say, since I know the VAs try hard to make good deliveries. An example from THIS game would be GP's captain skin, before his injury. He talks about his ship a lot, and his crew, along with some other details that make him sound much younger than his new base skin. These are details I really like.

Other minor audio details would be certain one liners on kills, or on specific targets. like the exchange between cait and jinx. I'd love for those to be heard more, along with more lines from Vi, and more details on her past. Generally speaking 'kill lines' would be a welcome thing for me. It'd spice things up besides the 'You have slain an enemy' announcer.

I'll cut it here, like I said above, vote for what you want, if my ideas aren't as appealing then no hard feelings, I just want this game to continue to get better, and better.

Though lacking in some of the other older champions, some are pretty accurate like Darius, I'd say newer champs are pretty good about lore -> dialogue.Ekko talks about Zuan and the future of science like every two seconds you move around. Gangplank talks about his ship being sunk and death not taking him, I'm sure there will be some kinda lore update eventually...mabe
