The New Method of Implementing Voice Lines is a HUGE Improvement

Beforehand, all of the little quirks and voice interactions between champs were very rare to be able to activate, and as such were only mostly seen within YouTube videos.

As demonstrated with new characters/updates such as Nunu/Willump and Akali, there is a relatively newer method for voicelines, which can now activate when approaching a champion without needing to taunt, killing a champ, attacking a jungle camp, attacking dragon, attacking Baron, getting a double/triple/quad/penta kill, killing turrets, and buying items.

With Nunu in particular, the fact that he's a jungle will make the frequency of some of these lines very common. It's really really nice and I appreciate the change a lot. [sg-lux]

I wish they would change the old skins/champions to use the new method too. I bought God fist Lee sin almost purely for his savage quotes yet I forget to trigger them with taunts.

Instead of being things that you had to opt into, they now occur automatically saying multiple lines. And now you hear not one but multiple lines of dialogue both before and after common events like taking a camp.

the fact that he's a jungle will make the frequency of some of these lines very common.

Jokes are not known to be something that ages very well with repetition which is going to happen a lot if you intend to play the champion and skins you bought with any frequency.

Special interactions like those mentioned are good, but in Aatrox's rework they messed everything up with joke and taunt lines.

No clue if it's a bug or intended, but it seems like his joke animation never plays any voice lines, and his taunt only plays a joke-like line 25% of the time, only after a long delay. Taunting after a kill with Aatrox is now really hard to do, and you're better off just spamming the dance animation start up.

Yeah, can Riot please make this system the standard?

Meanwhile, some champs like Viktor don't even have any special interactions, while barely having some lines at all...
