I feel like the ban quotes should be brand new lines, not recycled old ones.

I know Riot's reasoning will be "too costly and time-wasting to call back all the VA's", but I can't help but feel that using old quotes is a cop-out.

On that note, I'm left feeling also that some of the quotes are not appropriate fits. Sure, Leblanc going "Are you certain?" and Akali going "Understood." works, but a few others feel like a miss.

To that end, just to pass some time, how's about we come up with specific lines for when a Champion is banned? As in, ones that are more appropriate. While Riot probably won't take the time to record them in the near future (if at all), it could at least give them ideas for future VO reworks.

I'll have some examples in the comments below.

Here are some examples I think could fit more.

Azir - "It is unwise to deny an emperor the right to do battle."

Braum - "No worries. There is always another day."

Caitlyn - "Oh, bugger..."

Corki - "Sortie request denied."

Diana - "I will not be denied!"

Fiora - "This is not worth my time in any event."

Irelia - "You lack the will to face me."

Leona - "You would reject the sun's providence?"

Lux - "Aww... maybe next time."

MissFortune - "Guess you couldn't handle me after all."

Olaf - "Do not deny me my final battle!"

Riven - "Do you think me weak?"

Sejuani - "Cowards!"

Sivir - "You couldn't afford me anyway."

TahmKench - "I have better bargains to make in any event. Good day!"

Veigar - "You dare to ignore my power?!"

Ziggs - "Aww, but I wanted to test out my new bombs!"

In the cases of Aurelion Sol, Taliyah, Taric, Ryze, Kled and Warwick, they are new lines. It's unlikely old champions will get specific ban lines until they get updated VOs.

The problem is that they'd need to rehire pretty much every voice actor again. And hiring a VA for only one quote is rather expensive,so it would make sense to update the whole Voice over,which would pretty much mean that they would need to update every voice over(even for champs who will get a completely new one once they get their VGU).

Yeah,thats likely not happening....

At least Teemo takes the ban well, just going "Yes, sir!". He's a good soldier even when denied in champ select.

You cant ban him, because if you do, you will lose.
