[sound related, from Aatrox AMA] Less champion specific voicelines

Sahir-Afiyun (Question): I mean Urgot had voicelines for practically any lane for his ultimate even if he was rarely going to encoutner them in that lane as he could fight them later in the match. Wouldn't it make sense for Aatrox in that manner as well for Azir?

WAAAARGHbobo (Answer): So actually, that part of Urgot is exactly and explictly what we are moving away from in VO. And Aatrox, if I was to do him over, would have less character specific interactions than he does. (Remember he was recorded months ago). The Urgot kill lines don’t trigger often enough and aren’t noticed by most players in game. This raises the question why we are spending drive space on those files— if most players never notice them.

Champion interactions are one of the things I look forward to the most with every new champion and VGU. They’re also one of the only in-game avenues we have for lore, character building, and relationship exploration. It pains me to see them deprioritizing them for the sake of drive space; narrative content in any form is always super exciting even if most players don’t notice them. I know I get hyped whenever I find out a champion has an interaction with Quinn.
