Evelynn's Reworked Voice Lines - Too much?

Lilybet·9/26/2017, 11:09:17 PM·8 votes·7,804 views

So far, Eve's rework h as been great. New visuals, a kit that seems to be in the spirit of the champion; I was excited to see what she could do.

Today, we got to hear her voice lines. And I can't bring myself to approve of them.

The game has a T rating, however these lines and their innuendo are too much. It's like Mean Girls meets porn. The game has always walked a line between crass and subtle innuendo, but I think this goes too far. I'm the first one to join an innuendo war and the last person to shame someone for talking about sex.

But as official dialogue for a game that everyone knows a wide variety of ages play? Succubus or no, we don't need this.

Murdering kids? "A-okay."

Making sexy noises? "RITO SHTAP."

“I can describe an axe entering a human skull in great explicit detail and no one will blink twice at it. I provide a similar description, just as detailed, of a penis entering a vagina, and I get letters about it and people swearing off. To my mind this is kind of frustrating, it’s madness. Ultimately, in the history of [the] world, penises entering vaginas have given a lot of people a lot of pleasure; axes entering skulls, well, not so much.”

I was thinking the same thing. At which point does "Mild Suggestive Themes" turn into "Sexual Content"/"Sexual Themes"?

OP is upset about some semi-racy lines in a video game... and I'm just here kinda impressed that Riot isn't entirely toothless.

Putting in the VO's they did was always gonna get someone or another all up in arms because "OMG, sex is bad! censor it!". But Darius splitting Annie in half with an axe? That's fine. Urgot grinding someone into bloody paste? That's ok. Vel'koz disintegrating people and talking about how he can only tell the females apart because of how the scream? Fine. Not to mention the many, many, MANY skimpy outfits worn by champions in the game, ranging from Janna and MF ro Varus and Braum. Speaking of Janna, her joke mocks making calls to a sex-line. Nidalee pole dances. All of these are fine. And let's not even PRETEND the league community doesn't use suggestive or offensive language in-game all the damned time.

The lines people draw are hilarious to me. And no, the answer isn't "disallow ALL of those things" either. Sex is a part of life, and these days it's one every kid in public school knows about... and every kid with an internet connection has likely SEEN. You do more to make things awkward and twist kids up emotionally by making it like sexual suggestions are so freaking dangerous you have to hide them from everyone. Unless Eve is blowing someone in mid lane, I don't really see how this is a problem. Are your kids so fragile that a woman saying "it's so big" in a video game is gonna ruin their little minds? Or is that only the case because you've raised them like some kind of psychotically over-protective lunatic and haven't just sat down and explained to them about sex and sexual responsibility?

So don't let your kids play the game if it bothers you that much. Lock them in their rooms and only let them watch old VHS tapes of Veggie Tales or something, because that's about the only way they're not going to be exposed to something sexual in the world today. Or you could grow the hell up and teach your kids about these things instead of twisting them into knots by acting like they need to be protected from the SHAMEFUL thing that their developing bodies are making them begin to want.

I agree with you, but Riot turned into a monster. I don't recognize Riot anymore. They went from Jekill to Hyde over the course of 2017.

They are mostly innuendo...younger children won't understand it and with how this generation is going, it really isn't that far off from what they deal with in a daily basis.

we want this and this game needs a higher rating, no kids allowed

People who are making these posts complaining about Eve's voice are the kinds of people who report you for complaining about their plays or for making a harmless joke about them. You know the ones.

Part of League's official ESRB rating is 'Mild Suggestive Themes'. Her lines fit in the category. If you were an innocent human, like a kid, you would have no idea there was anything behind it, just accepting they were random voice lines. No where is she like 'LET ME SIT ON YOUR FACE AND CUM ON YOU DADDY'

You can shove your prissy puritan values up your ass and let us have fun things.

Well as a dedicated eve main and i pretty much played this game mostly because of her, i agree with you, they completely fucked up her identity and made her to some kind of shadows slut, we did not need another ahri v2, charm, flirting, slutish character - its totally out of her, they did again what they do best, fuck everything up, pretty much there is no Evelynn anymore, its a completely new champion, the old one we knew got deleted like with many of their reworks, why do they bother, leave them be and create their new champion, Rip trundle, sion, urgot, evelynn and many more..

wow, sexism in 2017

Honestly give me one reason why this is a bad thing? You have a problem with sex, but you have no problem with the idea of a little girl being torn apart by actual demons. "Your argument makes so much sense."
