Mispronunciation of Champion Names

Most times it doesn't bother me when a player mispronounced a Chanpion Name, but every so often there's one that's so blatantly wrong that it just BEGS correction. Even from people who should "know better"... For me personally I hate when people mispronounces "Yasuo" I've heard plenty of streamers do it and its crazy. What are some that you've heard that bothers you.. If any I guess since probably not many people care...

Yasuo is YA-Su-Oh not YUH-Su-Oh (IMAQTPIE does this a lot.. and it bothers me....) Khazix is CAW-Zicks not KA-Zicks (KA as in Cat) Taliyah (This one is debatable ... As both seem correct..) but I've always pronounced it like Tuh-Lee-Ah (sounds like late R'n'B singer Aaliyah but with a T in front...) as opposed Ta-Li-Ah... Talia al Ghul...

I always go by official riot sources or by the way champions say the names in game, which gives the following:

  • Yasuo Ya-soo-Oh
  • Khazix Kah-zicks
  • Taliyah Tah-lee-ah
  • Shaco Shay-co
  • Illaoi Ill-ow-ee

If you think it's common in an english speaking server, I would like you to watch spanish streamers of EU.
