Please Update Miss Fortune's VO

Miss Fortune is sexy, sure-- we can almost all agree on that. But there's so much more to her than that. I've always been a fan of the lore in league and spent way more time than I'd like to admit just reading about all the champions and how they became what they are and what makes them all so unique and so much more than a character you fight with in a video game. At first I thought Miss Fortune was just a showy character to get people's attention, but her lore is honestly one of my favorites. From a little girl whose mother made guns, watching her parents die in front of her eyes, being shot herself and almost dying, and then rising to the top to avenge her parents and becoming one of if not the greatest bounty hunters in Bilgewater, she's really more than what many assume just by looking at her and nothing else. That's one of the reasons I really love her. Now, ever since the Bilgewater event and her lore updates, I've felt like she's desperately needed a VO update. Although she is charming and definitely gets things done with style, I feel like her VO is just lacking compared to a lot of the other champions. There's nothing in there that reflects her lore or her character, mostly just the sexy bounty hunter aspect, and I feel like she deserves a bit more than that. If anything, I'm surprised that she does not even have any special interactions with Gangplank-- the very pirate that made her the character she is, the very pirate that she watched kill her family and almost her herself, the very pirate she spent years planning the downfall of-- there's not a single line or interaction she has with him. In fact, Fortune doesn't have many special interactions at all, either. Seeing as she's definitely one of the more popular champions, I feel like she really deserves a VO update. Miss Fortune is just such a well-done and fleshed out character storywise, and I think it's a shame that she can't live up to it entirely in game when her current VO consists of her going "Bang!", "I know what I'm doing.", and "Sure you can handle me, summoner?" in a sexy voice. In fact, she hardly has any lines at all, and the number looks even smaller when you compare it to those of other champions. The line where she uses the term summoner and her taunt "Watch your mouth kid, or you'll find yourself respawning at home!" don't always feel right to me either, especially with the removal of older lore. All in all, I really, really, hope they give Fortune what she deserves and finally update her VO. As it is, it just doesn't feel true to her character anymore to me.

rito, pls fix, kthx

riot lately stated they do not have the resources to update another character VO and lux VO was just an opportunity they had, but they did mention more VO's in the future just not a date.

I had this same complaint when the Bilgewater event happen. YOu had no idea how I excited I was when they give MissFortune the visual update she needed but the disappointment when her VO wasn't compare to Gangplank TWO massive VOs for base and Captain skins. Even Riot acknowledge this themselves in their "Ask Riot" blog.

Now that Lux got that new updated VO maybe there might be enough support to get MF to be the next champ for a VO update. Riot confirmed this is gonna be update VO in the future but it is uncertain who at this time.
