How the motherless goat do you pronounce some of the names in League of Legends?

Chin Jaow is my guess. Veigar is Veigar , we know this because of Final Boss Veigar (finally), people that said Vi-gra were just stupid. Ashe is Ash, but I keep hearing people say "Ash-e" WTF is that? Evelynn = Ev- uh-lynn, not EVIL-in, right?! RIGHT?!?!?! Lux = Loox not Lu-x Vladimir (THIS SHOULDN'T EVEN CONTROVERSIAL IT'S AN ACTUAL NAME) = Vlad , ee, meer, not Vuladmoor (WTF is that?)

Seriously though, how do you pronounce some of these names? Akali = Aa-kaal-lee Nid-ah-lee etc.

And second version

In my opinion these are absolutely terrible because they don't actually explain what the proper pronunciation is.

Wait, those videos? That shit was released nearly a year ago & you're making a thread about this now?

Damn, I thought Riot had released a new video I wasn't aware of.

Sorry I didn't think you'd be out of the loop so hard.

There's no correct pronunciation of Xin Zhao's name in the English language. The closest you can get is to say it like Xjin Jhao, or

Veigar is Vay-gar Ashe and Evelynn are correct Lux is indeed pronounced as in "Lucks" Vladimir is pronounced as Vuh-lad-uh-meer

Pronounce Akali with the A sounding like "Uh" Nidalee is pronounced with less emphasis on the A. Nid-a-lee

Zin Zao is XinZhao's pronunciation. Chinese name.

Ashe is Ash. Ash-eh is stupid. And sounds Canadian.

Eve-lin. All short E's

Lux. Loox sounds stupid.

You've got the last two right.

Xin Zhao is definitely not a Japanese name my friend. It's Chinese.

Ummm what? I'm pretty sure Xin Zhao is a chinese name.

Ashe is Ash. Ash-eh is stupid. And sounds Canadian.

I tend to agree.

Eve-lin. All short E's

WHAT?! NO, it's Ev- uh - Lyn.

"Eve-lin"? that's nonsense.

Lux. Loox sounds stupid.

"Loox" sounds right, looks stupid.
