Why was Xayah censored when Kled was not?

What's the reason to cut bad language now? Is it because she's a grill? That's sexist.

Rito pls. This game is, after all, about 10 characters killing each other over and over for an hour or so.

Swain summons ravens who tear out living flesh out of his enemies and feed it to him, but Xayah can't have a fucking cigar?

It fits his personality as a crazy war vet who forgets the norms of society (he's the only champion who swears while everyone else doesn't). Adding more people who swear would slowly detract from Kled. Not to mention it's bleeped, while Xayah was not bleeped. Bleeping Xayah is not an option because it wouldn't fit her as much because Kled is all about craziness and cartoonish comic relief, Xayah is not.

Kled was actually heavily censored, it's just that all the censored lines never made it to the PBE. He had much worse lines before.

The reason Xayah was censored is because of the specific word. Apparently "shit" has higher implications then the words Kled says, which is why "Shit" is bleeped out in Kled's VO. The word "shit" can cause our rating to go up which is something we aren't willing to risk.

We bleeped out that word on Kled because we thought it added comical effect to Kled. We could have bleeped it out with Xayah as well but we didn't feel that same comical effect would work for her personality.

Kled's line were censored for comedy purposes. It's funnier to hear the "BEEP" or the "SKWAAAAK" whenever he goes to swear.

Xayah was censored becasuse tbh it's not very fitting to her character and it's wholly unnecessary. I feel like people are making too big a deal of this. I had my doubt these lines were gonna last.

Kled had his bleeped. Xayah didn't. Quite simple.

Sexism has nothing to do with it.

It's because she's a grill. We don't want her flaming everything, so they removed the charcoal.

People keep saying this, but where is the source?

Uhm Xayahs isn't the one with the censor,Kled is. And its purely done because its funny.

They should just add the line back in, and have it be disabled with the profanity filter

The community already swears a lot. I don't get why a champion couldn't do that.

I though, maybe you could put an option in the settings that mutes or censors all swear words from all champions(considering they have any).

I vaguely remember Simpsons Hit & Run having crap in, and that was PEGI 7+

I don't know why, but this never occurred to me. Until now.

Swain is a psychotic cannibalistic motherfucker.

I'm confused on the source of this finding. Who said they removed the quote?

medic titan4/10/2017, 4:04:52 PM1 votes

wait are they bleeping all of kled's cussing or just his quote when he says "shit?"

Ralanr4/10/2017, 4:09:37 PM1 votes

Except Kled is censored in game.

Given he's supposed to be an old war veteran, he's probably got the excuse of being senile.
