Alistar VU? No new VO.
I'm curious what the decision was with this, considering they have roughly the same amount of lines and such. Did you guys know what Trist is but sketchy on Alistar? Some event you can't talk about yet? Etc.
Shadow Merchant1 votesI'm going to say it's because people actually play trist and people don't play ali much.
ModCaptainMårvelous2 votesNot really a fair analysis. I mean trundle's VU/Sejuani's VU got completely new voice work and neither was played much.
Sukishoo1 votesAli is a small update... he didn't need an audio change because his champion is still pretty much the same visually and gameplay wise. Trist on the other hand they gave her more personality to the look and feel of the character, so she really needed that new audio to go with it.
They do that too the bigger updates rather then the small ones. Look at Maokai, Renekton and Cassiopia. They are small field updates that just came with cleaning up the current model and textures with no Voice changes. Then you have Twtich, Heimierdinger, Sivir and so on that are a larger scale who came with Visual changes, gameplay changes and all of them had Voice updates.
ModCaptainMårvelous1 votesYes, Ali was themeatically sound...but his VO is still awful and is (again, around) 9 lines. More so, you can expand on the character itself. All I understand from Ali is that he leads and is also angry. Like really, that's not enough to justify the character.
I just want to know why, not so much an excuse or anything.
Sukishoo1 votesPersonally I like the voice. I don't think it's bad at all. Yeah it's very very little audio as he is one of the original champions who hasn't had a full on update for that aspect, but I don't believe they ALL need that.
Sharjo1 votesThere were set goals with the Ali update, as there were for Singed and Maokai before him; better quality model, some improved animations and some improved VFX. Considering in the past they've updated champion voices independent of any visual update, it stands to reason that they'll come and give him more lines in the future, but probably not until other stuff gets out of the way, or something else Ali-related needs to be addressed.
GreenLore1 votesIts because alistar just got a texture update(or Model/texture update),similar to the one singed and maokai got. So he just gets a new model and some new spell effects
Tristana on the other hand gets a full VU,it is like throwing the old champion out of the window and making a completely new champion instead it is similar to the karthus or twitch update.
They most likely decided to give tristana a full VU because they still experiment with yordle anatomy and thus wanted some bigger changes.
Meep Man1 votesIt has to do with if the right person for the job is there or not.
