Will you be making any cinematics where the Champions are speaking?

A New Dawn was very good, but I'd have loved it if there could've been SOME actual spoken lines put into it (i.e. Graves groaning "Tarnation..." after being slugged by Nautilus, or Draven going all "Draaaaaven" instead of being silent). It would've definitely made things feel more alive.

And no, Nasus in the Shurima videos was NARRATING. No one in the cutscene was shown talking to one another.

I know this could lead to dubbing headaches, but my thought was that you only make an English version and then in other languages, subtitles are used to translate when possible.

Would this be an appropriate approach, or would this piss too many people off?

EDIT: I guess this sorta answers my question.

Please make more like this, Riot.

I'd love a Cinematic of Some champs reminding players that Games are about fun, and reminding players that while sometimes League can get frustrating, taking it out on your teammates just ruins the game for everyone involved.

(End the video with "I'm Captain Teemo, and I Approve this message")

Riot has never been good at retaining old voice actors, so they'd need to redo the voices of a LOT of old champions before putting them in an animation, most likely.

This would be cool as long as they kept the dialogue to a minimum. I felt Draven not yelling "Draven!" at least once felt just a little bit wierd.

id rather they focus their animators on improving the actual game than cinematics

If people can do it well (and I mean gloriusly well) tha that would be raly nice!

The new dawn was prity nice and also damn bad I think, the siutaton was realy somthing like what the champions see from inside, and not how the summoners see from out side in the shadow if the safe hous! It was realy nice Even the wierdly OP Nautilus was fine, the caracters emtions were simply gorgeous (if I use the word in right way) except the broken charming gligling Ahri, that had a deadly scarred face as she saw the about to dead Leona... But there were some stoopidnes that I cant understand, such as WHY AHRI A RUNING SCAREDY?! I mean ok-ok I know Darayos is such a big danger to her, I realy have much bad expiriences of that... but I cant find out why was the only one time she found that she can atack back whan leona came after tham (from her almost death) and used her Ultimate to stop Darius! Also the colours confuse me, the plants were too brightly green and so on... The Twisted fate cinematik had much better coloures in my houmble opinon ( even I wounder why the Demon-blade Trynda fighted there, not the regular one ). Please learn from these! Sory if I said somting un English, I am bad english...

La-La-La Damacia!

I watched one episode a night for two months with my kids before bed, until my wife saw dem booties. "How can you show this to our children"??

So now I watch it alone.

She needs to have super low range to compensate for such a ridiculous passive.

Vel'Koz spoke in his cinematic. And technically graves spoke in the "outro" of this years harrowing. If you'd call floating debris a cinematic.

I suggest dubbing the cinematic in german, and putting subtitles. Or maybe spanish!
