@Riot: Why do Champions not use profanity in-game?

These last few lores have shown us you're no longer shy about characters cussing, but can we also have that in-game? It'd flesh out characters like Graves, Vi, Ekko, etc., if they actually cussed a bit.

Hearing Vi yell "get fisted, motherfucker!" might be interesting the first two or three times... the next two or three hundred? Not so much.

You can already get enough of that from the other players. Yesterday I had an obscene teammate show his stuff within the first 5 minutes or so of a game leading me to have to figure out where the crap do I mute people on the new HUD. I don't want anymore.

Looking at it from a ratings perspective, a PG-13 movie gets...I think, two swears? Something among those lines. That's roughly comparable to the T rating League has. But with champion VOs including swears, it'd heavily increase that number, even if it's the same line. Yeah yeah, games and movies have different rating criteria. But, still, "heavy language" could bump the rating up to an M, which would severely limit their userbase.

When Lucian just came out, I thought that he said "You son of a.." on ult. I was so~ wrong.
