Improving the Japanese voice overs in-game

Just recently changed my language to Japanese in league (I love anime & Japanese) and I think its good, but some of the voice overs aren't really Japanese(I don't mean all of the voice overs). For example, when the girl who is doing the voice overs is saying "killing spree" in Japanese, I still hear "killing spree" but just spoken with a different accent. Same I hear when the girl says "rampage", "legendary" and some other ones. Just wanted to know if you guys are at riot are planning to change the voice overs for Japanese.

I know its only been 1 year since Japan got their own league server, just wanted to know. Thank you!

In Japanese culture, specifically in media such as video games, it is not uncommon to use a few scattered English words in dialogue. Yes, there are katakana for foreign words. For example, Final Fantasy is pronounced nearly the same way in English and Japanese, Final Fantasy = ファイナルファンタジー Even though the spelling is in proper kana, the pronunciation is still recognizable to native English speakers.

The Japanese VO in league is professional and very well done. I have no doubt that it is a conscious choice on the writer's/director's part.

Wait wait wait, You can change the in-game voice of the characters to other languages when the server you are playing on is primarily English without Riot Games hitting you with the ban hammer due to ''Malicious Activities''. :O TEACH ME SENPAI!
