Her Kit is amazing, and I adore it, and I don't mean to come off as nit-picky, but Zoe's Personality is extremely frustrating. I literally feel like a 10 yr old watching a disney show when I watch that teaser. TBH I don't think It's too late to give her new voice lines, maybe ones that fit into the game
Oleandervine9 votesJust because she isn't an emo edgelord doesn't mean she's not a good character. I'm personally tired of Yasuo/Zed/Kayn, so having someone cute and peppy is fantastic. If you don't like her, don't play her.

This is ridiculous. Her voice lines are great- and FYI: voice lines aren’t easily created; they take FOREVER to have the script written, spoken, filtered through, redone and changed.
Warlord Dienekes3 votesHuh, she’s bubbly bouncy and annoyingly hyperactive. That matches her kit fairly well to me, with maybe the exception of making people fall asleep. That doesn’t sound like anything a hyperactive preteen would do.
I am curious what you think fits into the game and what doesn’t.
As far as I can tell LoL doesn’t have any consistent tone. It’s more a grab bag of personalities and settings that don’t really mesh together but we all roll with anyway.
Oleandervine2 votesThat's actually where you are completely wrong. League does have a consistent tone, and they've been developing it more over the last few years. When they began, their characters were just kinda there, and ran on jokes (
) and were completely one dimensional characters. There was no world, there was barely logical reasoning as to why they were even together in the same area.
Flash forward to the Lore initiative they started a few years back. They've been creating a live, breathing world that can encompass all of the characters and contains a wide variety of people, just like reality. When you go outside, you don't experience emo edgelords and gruff talking tough guys everywhere you go - you experience tons of people, from stuck up soccer moms, to insanely peppy morning people, to the dark and brooding loners. That's what League is doing. The world has become incredibly consistent, because we're beginning to see just how such an expansive universe can contain such a variety of characters. Zoe may not be dark and brooding, but she definitely fits in the world, because just like in reality, you can't not expect to meet someone like her in this fantasy realm Riot has created.
Warlord Dienekes2 votesYour argument is that it's a consistent tone, because it's inconsistent. That's not what a consistent tone means.
Take the Dark Souls universe, every character from that game feels like a Dark Souls character. That game has a consistent tone. Every character feels like a part of a specific setting and story.
LoL is not like that, at all.
I never said whether not inconsistency was a good or bad thing. Now, truth be told as far as games go, I prefer Dark Souls to League. Probably not something I should admit on a League board, but there it is. But the inconsistency of tone does not make LoL a better or worse game in and of itself.
That the world is inconsistent with people doesn't really mean anything, in the context of this argument. Because the world is inconsistent. Almost as a law.
However, LoL as a setting is inconsistent in ways that are less easy to explain than personality changes. A medieval feudal setting somehow being of roughly equivalent importance to a post-industrial magitech area with mechs and advanced sniper rifles? Pull the other one. That makes no sense.
But that doesn't really matter, because we accept that the setting is just that way. And that's again, not a bad thing. Take the Discworld series, by Terry Pratchett. Pratchett refused to make a detailed map because he knew that his stories ran on humor and philosophical navel gazing. And it is one of the greatest fantasy series of all time. The world is beautifully inconsistent, with characters changing shape and personality from book to book, with the setting taking up aspects that are either medieval, industrial, academic, or fantastic based entirely on just whatever the author wanted to write at the moment. And it's amazing.
LoL takes far more inspiration from Discworld, than it does from say, A Song of Ice and Fire, where everything remains pretty consistent as a pseudo late medieval feudal society, with the rest of the world being fleshed out from things all happening roughly within about 200 years of the War of the Roses. That doesn't make ASOIAF better than Discworld, unless your criteria is specifically which is more consistent. But that's an odd thing to judge an entire work of fantasy on.
Ralanr1 votesPersonally I like the inconsistent tone because it feels more real that way. In league we get the view of the entire world and the people who inhabit it. In Dark Souls (while massive and basically pot apocalyptic) I never felt we were seeing everything, just one kingdom on hard times.
But I never finished the Souls game.
Rayjay Redfang2 votesIt's too early to tell. We need lore and full VOs. From what we know now, let's say she is an interesting one.
waiting for WoW2 votesIf anything Annie reminds me more of a disney character than Zoe.
Not every champion has to be dark and brooding.
JhonTeemon1 voteswhat creature is zoe anyway?
