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.
- "It is unwise to deny an emperor the right to do battle."
- "No worries. There is always another day."
- "Oh, bugger..."
- "Sortie request denied."
- "I will not be denied!"
- "This is not worth my time in any event."
- "You lack the will to face me."
- "You would reject the sun's providence?"
- "Aww... maybe next time."
- "Guess you couldn't handle me after all."
- "Do not deny me my final battle!"
- "Do you think me weak?"
- "Cowards!"
- "You couldn't afford me anyway."
- "I have better bargains to make in any event. Good day!"
- "You dare to ignore my power?!"
- "Aww, but I wanted to test out my new bombs!"
