With the new Zaun lore, Zac and Janna need new VO lines

Monarchk·Jan 13, 2017·25 votes·2,102 views

As I understand the new lore (and correct me if I am wrong here), Janna is now a spirit and Zac is not a baby experiment but the product of some accidental chemical spill? If that is the case, I think both need new VOs.

Janna's current VO doesn't make her sound like a guardian spirit. She just kind of walks around talking about fast she is. I don't really get any impression that she cares about protecting anyone, nor any sense that she has worshipers.

Zac talks a lot about how he was "made for this, literally", except now that's not true anymore apparently? It doesn't line up.

Anyway, it would be awesome if the VO's could fit the lore. That's all.

There is not a shot in hell they're gonna drop the mountain of work needed to put words in the mouths of new and updated heroes (and legendary skins) for old fogies.

Also, note that Zac was deliberately created.

Zac has new lore that is slightly different. Check it out on Universe.

When the pair dug further, they discovered the project was being funded by Saito Takeda, a Chem-Baron with a notoriously violent temperament and reputation for bloody gang warfare. The implication was clear; Takeda sought to develop a fighter who could shrug off mortal wounds, squeeze into places humans could not and who would obey any command. They also discovered the project’s true name; the Zaun Amorphous Combatant.

I got the sense that "toxic spill" was technically true, but deliberately misleading.

I say Janna just needs to drop the call-girl line as for Zac, he was an experiment. yes he started as an accident, but at first he was just a semi-sentient blob and was collected and experimented on into the wild mess he is today

The call-girl line is an actual part of her lore and like in the top 20 best lines of all champa

Lintu PuckJan 15, 20171 votes

the call girl stuff was a part time job she was holding back when she was a human character, but with this new lore she is a spirit that responds to pray and trust and that stuff.

Dunno, imagine praying and suddenly a call-girl answers. Definetly a way to gain devoted followers ^^

But she is still accepting offerings for her services, which, although not phone sex, still fit under the "pay for my services" aspect. You know, worship for protection.

Jannas VO was always kinda empty,she only ever talked about the wind and stuff,which really felt shallow.

However I don't see any problem with Zac. I mean sure he was more or less born as a sentient blob,but he might not know that and was likely modified further in the lab.

They did lore! That seems to be enough for Riot.

And to be honest Even though Janna got a updated model a few years ago, she needs some visual Relaunch like they did with Kassadin.

About voiceover changes. That's a thing they will probably never adress soon. The only time they did something similar was with Katarina once.

Zac's new lore needs to be changed. If his parents survive and they treat him like Clark and the Kents, his VO will still be relevant. The whole murdering his parents things is just unnecessary and adds unneeded tragedy to a character who is supposed to be happy, upbeat, and in love with living.

PlacentasJan 14, 20172 votes

Eh, no. Tragedy creates appreciation for the good in life. People generally don't display a bountiful love for life unless having gone through something terrible which enables them to appreciate the better things in life.

"She just kind of walks around talking about fast she is. "

LOL why did this make me laugh so much
