@Riot: How much can opponent hear Swain SFX?

This is a question for the Rioter who worked on Swain's sound effects. First I want to say new rework looks amazing, and I do really like the added sound effects. Particularly the "soundtrack" that goes off when he ults. Props on the good work and a shout out; I very much appreciate the detail that went into it.

So, my question is this: Can my opponents hear that ultimate theme? What about the sounds of all the crows taking off?

I know Jhin for example has sound effects that only the Jhin player can hear (I assume because they are supposed to be in his head). I really hope that everyone can hear Swains new effects, gives him a more intimidating edge.

There is no custom music on swains ult. We do have some music for swain when he marches out onto the rift. That is just for the swain player.

Real shame Evelynn came out just before you guys started doing that, she has a great theme.

They've done it for Ivern, too. At least I've noticed his theme playing at times when you start a game. Zoe as well. Guessing it has to do with whether or not the themes fit with the general Rift music.

Hi! I was referring to the whispers and lightning effects that go off. It's really well done.

An overall theme that plays during the ult would be cool though. Ty for answering my question, that is what I wanted to know about.

The team did a great job. : )

The whispers are only heard by swain and the people that are getting drained. the lightning everyone around swain can hear.

Question, this is kind of a dumb request, but when Eve marks someone with charm, can her piano theme play for them and her? I feel like it would add a lot to the feel of being stalked.
